经济人假设在公共领域的适用性论析

围绕经济人假设所产生的诸多争论,很大程度上源于对这一理论假设的错误理解。本文认为,经济人假设作为自由市场经济制度和自由民主政治制度建构的前提和基础,是关于人的动机模式的假设,它反映了人的社会选择和社会行动最原初的动力来自于人对自我利益的理性计算和理性追求。经济人假设既可以适用于人的经济行为取向的分析,同时与近代西方自由主义政治哲学关于人的动机模式的看法具有内在的一致性,因此也可以扩展到经济领域之外,适用于对人的政治行为取向的分析。

A Tale of Two Towns: Assessing the Role of Political Resources in a Community Electronic Network

In this study we examine responses to the recent expansion of information technology in two rural Minnesota towns. One of these towns took a cooperative approach to technology access, developing a community electronic network, while the other town relied on a more individualistic, entrepreneurial model. The present study examines citizens' attitudes concerning social, political, and technological issues in these two communities, with the goal of uncovering what kinds of attitudes and resources citizens need to have in order to help support and sustain a community electronic network. Structural equation modeling is used to specify the relationships among individuals' economic, political, and social resources, technology ownership and use, and awareness of and support for the community network. Drawing on a theory of social capital, we consider the relative importance of privately- oriented social engagement versus publicly- oriented political engagement in relation to collective outcomes. Our analysis shows that in the town with the broadly- based community electronic network, individuals' political as well as economic resources are linked to knowledge and use of computer resources, whereas in the comparison community, economic stratification alone drives computer access. The implications of these findings for issues of equity, access to technology, and the development of strong community ties are discussed.     

Parental Socialization and Rational Party Identification

This article constructs a rational choice model of the intergenerational transmission of party identification. At a given time, identification with a party is the estimate of average future benefits from candidates of that party. Experienced voters constantly update this expectation using political events since the last realignment to predict the future in accordance with Bayes Rule. New voters, however, have no experience of their own. In Bayesian terms, they need prior beliefs. It turns out that under certain specified conditions, these young voters should rationally choose to employ parental experience to help orient themselves to politics. The resulting model predicts several well–known features of political socialization, including the strong correlation between parents' and children's partisanship, the greater partisan independence of young voters, and the tendency of partisan alignments to decay.     

缅甸政治形势探析

粉碎一起由军事强人———奈温的亲属策划的家庭政变对许多人来说是好消息 ,但这对民主发展并没有什么帮助。奈温的亲属告诉审问者 ,他们策划政变是因为政府的经济政策导致他们损失了许多钱 ,而且他们不再享有特权。没有人会相信那些被逮捕的人竟然会策划一场“政变”。这起粉碎政变最有可能的目的便是军政府自身在为后奈温时代做准备。军政府旨在打垮奈温家庭势力的紧急行动非常明智。他们不希望出现另一股势力。

“两国论”的社会基础与台湾政情

“两国论”不但有特殊的背景,而且有相当的社会基础,值得忧虑和警惕。但是,台湾的安全与稳定,台湾民众的福祉皆系于坚持“一个中国”的基本原则:因此,虽有人妄言修宪定国,却未敢冒险付诸行动;各“总统”候选人在竞选白热化之际打“两岸关系”牌,恰恰说明了台湾民众对“两国论”没有信心。
