谈谈美学和审美活动

本文对把美学研究的重点放在探讨美的本质、为美下定义上的传统研究方式进行了反思和批评 ,提出了把美学研究的重点转移到审美活动上的新思路 ,认为审美现象无处不在、无时不有 ,审美活动是人类基本的生存方式之一 ;优美与崇高、丑与荒诞等审美主体都不是先在地独立存在的 ,而是在审美活动中同时现实地生成的。     

安南莫朝与中越关系制度的变化

安南莫朝与中国建立朝贡关系后,带来中越关系中诸多制度上的变化,包括册封称号的降格,册封制度的降格等。这实际上反映出明朝后期以来中国不愿干涉越南内政,而以外交制度作为调整中越关系的手段。莫朝以来中越朝贡次数的减少,则反映了中越朝贡制度的政治属性。     

从地缘政治角度看中日关系

地缘环境是影响一个国家发展以及国家关系的稳定制约因素 ,是不可忽视的。中日两国作为地缘上非常接近的国家 ,其关系必然离不开地理环境的影响和制约。从两国所处的自然地理状况入手进行分析、探讨两国地缘政治关系的变化和美国这一地缘制衡力量对现实中日关系的影响 ,在两国利益上的共同点和难以解决的矛盾点都存在的情况下 ,两国关系只能是有限合作、有限冲突 ,但合作应是两国关系的主流     

国际形势变化的两重性

2003年美国发动伊拉克战争推动了世界形势变化。形势变化对我国的影响是两方面的:机遇与挑战并存,机遇大于挑战。战争显示了超级大国反恐的两重性及力量的两重性。美欧关系出现转折,矛盾趋向深化与扩大,但双方仍需要继续合作。以联合国为代表的国际秩序的作用受到挑战。美国单边主义行为未能动摇联合国的存在,但改革联合国的必要性也在上升。发展中国家在国际格局中处于弱势,部分国家被边缘化。但占世界人口半数以上的主要发展中国家已开始走上振兴之路。     

Identity and recognition: remembering and forgetting the post-war in Sino-Japanese relations

Abstract

In the 1990s, Japanese views of China were relatively positive. In the 2000s, however, views of China have deteriorated markedly and China has increasingly come to be seen as ‘anti-Japanese’. How can these developments, which took place despite increased economic interdependence, be understood? One seemingly obvious explanation is the occurrence of ‘anti-Japanese’ incidents in China since the mid-2000s. I suggest that these incidents per se do not fully explain the puzzle. Protests against other countries occasionally occur and may influence public opinion. Nonetheless, the interpretation of such events arguably determines their significance. Demonstrations may be seen as legitimate or spontaneous. If understood as denying recognition of an actor's self-identity, the causes of such incidents are likely to have considerably deeper and more severe consequences than what would otherwise be the case. Through an analysis of Japanese parliamentary debates and newspaper editorials, the paper demonstrates that the Chinese government has come to be seen as denying Japan's self-identity as a peaceful state that has provided China with substantial amounts of official development aid (ODA) during the post-war era. This is mainly because China teaches patriotic education, which is viewed as the root cause of ‘anti-Japanese’ incidents. China, then, is not regarded as ‘anti-Japanese’ merely because of protests against Japan and attacks on Japanese material interests but for denying a key component of Japan's self-image. Moreover, the analysis shows that explicit Chinese statements recognising Japan's self-identity have been highly praised in Japan. The article concludes that if China recognises Japan's self-understanding of its identity as peaceful, Japan is more likely to stick to this identity and act accordingly whereas Chinese denials of it might empower Japanese actors who seek to move away from this identity and ‘normalise’ Japan, for example, by revising the pacifist Article Nine of the Japanese constitution.     

Different ways of blowing the whistle: Explaining variations in decentralized enforcement in the UK and France

The factors explaining decentralized enforcement – the monitoring and reporting of illegalities in organizations by employees – remain poorly understood. This article contributes to filling this gap by presenting a study of employee reports to regulatory authorities of incidents that have taken place in British and French high hazard industries. The article distinguishes between two different registers of “quiet” and “loud” reporting, reflecting the varying echo of employee reports, as intended either by employees themselves or by other stakeholders. The study finds quiet reporting to be widespread in the UK, while loud reporting was salient in France only. The contrast can be explained by making reference to the relationships between unions, regulators, and managers, and the history and institutions of industrial relations that shaped them in particular ways in each country. The comparison suggests also that whistleblower protection legislation has played little role in encouraging reporting.     

A Geo-Economic Object or an Object of Geo-Political Absorption? Competing Visions of North Korea in South Korean Politics

Abstract

The so-called Sunshine Policy launched by the liberal regime of South Korea brought about a significant transformation in its visions of North Korea. Through it, North Korea became an “object of development.” This was something different from the previous idea of North Korea as a politico-military target. However, to conservatives, North Korea remains within the politico-military realm as an object of territorial and ideological absorption. As a result, political conflicts in South Korea in the conception of North Korea – between a geo-economic object and an object of geo-political absorption – entail competitive appropriation of the discourse of “China’s colonisation of North Korea” and affect the way North Korean territory is produced.     

Collective Bargaining in the Twenty-First Century: A Negotiations Institution at Risk

Collective bargaining, a core social institution, faces a fundamental transformational challenge. National survey data provide unique insights into the current status of the bargaining process — revealing challenges and opportunities. Awareness and use of interest-based bargaining principles is widespread but complicated by underlying tensions between labor and management. The findings illustrate the value of conducting an institutional-level analysis of a negotiations process.

政府干预劳资关系的法理基础

劳资关系问题是我国经济社会体制转型过程中突出的问题。劳动者、资本和政府的三方关系中,政府是决定性的因素。劳资纠纷的根源,很大程度上在于政府的缺位。从宪政视角而言,公民的劳动权是宪法上权利,保障劳动权是国家的义务。政府必须积极介入劳资关系之中,才能实现构建和谐劳资关系的法定职责。
