The Future of the European “Social Model” in the Global Economy

This article examines the prospects for European welfare states in the context of globalization. It begins with a critical review of the globalization arguments. While there is some evidence that external constraints make life harder for policymakers seeking positive-sum outcomes, it is the combination of national debt and spending limits, plus domestic tax resistance, that really count in making expenditure-based social and employment policies more difficult in certain countries. In understanding the constraints and opportunities that will shape Europe's welfare future, globalization—crudely understood—is therefore much less influential than many suppose. While EMU has radically diminished national autonomy in exchange rate, monetary policy, and fiscal policy, there are also beneficial consequences for social policy and broader economic management. On the employment and social policy side, initiatives required to match greater flexibility with sustained security are now at the top of the EU agenda, and mechanisms for diffusing best practice across Europe are being put in place. Within this framework, European welfare states must place more emphasis on dynamic equality, being primarily attentive to the worst off, more hospitable to incentive-generating differentiation, and actively vigilant with regard to the openness of opportunity structures.     

论国家干预

国家对社会经济生活的干预是各种类型国家都具有的共同职能。在市场经济下,国家干预的程度、范围和形式较以往都有很大发展,其积极作用也得到更广泛的认同。但国家干预并非万能,它也有缺陷。要克服其缺陷,必须实行国家干预的法治化。国家干预的法治化包括两大基本内容：规范市场经济运行的基本规则和政府干预行为本身,其中,对后者的认识和强调具有更为重要的现实意义。     

The relationship of compliance with anxiety,self-esteem,paranoid thinking and anger

Abstract

The aim of the study was to assess the relationship of compliance with anxiety, self-esteem, paranoid thinking, and anger. The Gudjonsson Compliance Scale (GCS), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Paranoia/Suspiciousness Questionnaire (PSQ), and the Novaco Anger Scale (NAS) were administered to 167 University students Compliance correlated positively with state and trait anxiety, low self-esteem, paranoia and suspiciousness, and negatively with acting out feelings of anger (the Behavioural Domain of the NAS). Multiple regression of the test scores showed that paranoid thinking was the single best predictor of compliance. The implications are discussed. It is important to replicate the study on special populations, such as offenders and psychiatric patients, who have problems with low self-esteem, paranoid thinking, and anger.     

论共产党治党治国的理论创新

“三个代表”重要思想无疑是马克思主义中国化的最新理论成果,那么,他“新”在何处呢?从无产阶级政党治党治国这一角度来看,“三个代表”重要思想的理论创新主要表现在他解决了中国共产党“为谁执政”、在执政过程中“如何治党”、“如何治国”的根本问题,深化了对人类社会发展规律、执政党的执政规律和社会主义建设规律的认识,开辟了马克思主义发展的新境界。

孙中山权力制约思想初探

孙中山先生总结了中国数千年文明史的政治智慧,深入研究了欧美国家的政治思想、制度,结合中国的国情,提出了一整套治国理念和方针,核心是主权在民与权力制约。主要内容有民主共和思想;五权分立;军政、训政、宪政思想及选举、罢免、创制、复决四大权利学说等。对后人的有益启示是：要用法律切实保障公民的经济地位;要打牢基层民主自治的坚实基础;必须摆正主人与公仆的关系;要重视国家政体的建设与改革。     

试论依法治国与以德治国并重的几个问题

以德治国,是党中央治国方略的重要思想,以德治国思想的提出并不是否定依法治国的基本方略地位,依法治国与以德治国的结合是时代发展的需要,以德治国的正确实施能够促进依法治国.依法治国与以德治国的关系是一种他律与自律的关系,个体的道德自律是法律他律的基础.以德治国的出发点在于解决市场快速发展与滞后的思想道德教育的尖锐矛盾造成的信仰危机和道德危机,兼治民德与官德.

福利制度的结构与社会政策
