浅论世界法制格局对我国法制建设的影响

从法治生成的角度来看 ,世界各国法治有内生型法治和外生型法治两种主要类型。中国属于典型的外生型法治类型。大陆法系和英美法系是当今世界法律文化的主流 ,两大法系对我国法制建设有着历史性的多方位的影响。     

解决"三农"问题的两种互补模型:外生性发展与内生性发展

目前我国存在的一系列矛盾和问题,在相当程度上都是来自城乡二元结构转变的滞后。城乡二元结构包括城乡二元经济结构和城乡二元社会结构。针对发展中国家应如何改变由城乡二元经济结构所造成的农村经济落后状况,西方经济学家创建了外生性发展与内生性发展两种模型。这两种模型表面上是相互对立的,实际上是相互补充的。这已被中国农村改革与发展的实践所检验。     

Re-emergence of Asia and the Rise and Fall of the Japanese Economy in Super Long Waves of Capitalist World Systems

ABSTRACT

After the global financial crisis of 2007–2008, we are facing the beginning of the end of the post-war capitalist world system. The 1920s was in the middle of the social, political and economic interregnum, a period of discontinuity in the social order, accompanied by widespread unrest, wars and power vacuums. In this article, that framework of the long and super long waves in the capitalist world systems is used to examine the recent interregnum that marks the re-emergence of Asia. Within the framework of the long and super long waves a new “flying geese” theory is built by incorporating the theory of dynamic industries with Akamatsu’s theory. In the 1980s, Japanese integral production architecture improved quality and productivity in the automobile and electrical machinery industries. In the 1990s, the USA’s open modular production architecture enabled China’s compressed industrialisation, and the China-centric Asian production network replaced the Japan-led Pacific Rim triangular trade regime. In the 2000s, the knowledge-and technology-intensive (KTI) industries have established themselves as the new dynamic industries. The USA is the leading country to develop KTI industries. China is catching up quickly and has leapfrogged Japan in KTI industries. In conclusion, it is argued that these changes mark an approaching second interregnum.     

Is a problem shared a problem halved? Shared services and municipal efficiency

It has long been argued that shared services represent an efficacious means of securing efficiencies for municipalities. Indeed, pressures from fiscal austerity, taxation limitations, and the specter of forced amalgamations have resulted in an increasing uptake of shared service arrangements. However, the extant evidence is rather inconclusive and is largely restricted to analyzing the nett efficiency outcomes for the specific service shared. We broaden this evidential base by examining the association between shared service production and the efficiency of entire municipalities. Our analysis, employing a 5‐year panel of data, suggests that shared services are associated with a statistically significant reduction in overall municipal efficiency. We conclude by explicating on the public policy implications arising from our prima facie surprising results.     

论破解“三农”问题力量的转变时期

农民收入增长率较低是当前和今后一段时间内我国“三农”问题的焦点。从农民收入增长率、1997年后农民第一、二、三产业纯收入增加额占农民每年纯收入增加额的比重、城镇居民购买8种重要农产品和人均可支配收入的变动对农民收入的影响、两个比重首次低于50%和一个比重首次超过50%的变动、日本和韩国的发展经验结合我国的实际等多方面综合分析可见,近9年是破解我国“三农”问题的力量的转变时期:即农业的发展由主要依靠农业的内生力量转变到内生力量和外生力量相结合共同促进农业发展。     

“推车撞壁”式还是“曲突徙薪”式?——五四时期“社会主义论战”研究

通过对五四时期"社会主义论战"的回顾,其争论焦点可归纳为:什么是社会主义和如何实现社会主义。对于这两点,研究系与早期马克思主义者有不同的回答,形成了两条不同的路径。一条是研究系的"基尔特社会主义--‘推车撞壁’式"路径,另一条是早期马克思主义者的"科学社会主义--‘曲突徙薪’式"路径。学界对早期马克思主义者论战中局限性的研究并不充分,主要体现在过度关注了由外在客观条件造成的必然的不足--"外生的不足",而忽略了由内在主观条件造成的非必然的不足--"内生的不足"。应尽量排除两派共有的"外生的不足",聚焦于"内生的不足"。在"推车撞壁"式与"曲突徙薪"式两种观点的互诘中,早期马克思主义者暴露了其国际视角逻辑的"内生的不足"。这种不足不仅无助于论证其"曲突徙薪"式观点,还逐步演变为错误的理论,导致了错误的革命实践。对"内生的不足"的反思凸显了实践观点与辩证方法的重大意义。     

购置款抵押权的竞存对抗规则研究

满足《民法典》第416条要件的购置款抵押权可以对抗公示在先的固定担保权,此种处理模式虽使外部债权人负担一定审查成本,但总体上符合利益衡量视角下的比例原则。《民法典》在浮动抵押领域中采取“登记主义”的立场,与“超级优先权规则”形成了体系性的规范协调。购置款抵押权与留置权竞存时,后者始终处于优先受偿顺位。在功能主义视角下,所有权保留和融资租赁可准用超级优先权规则,但应作必要限制。购置款抵押权人不得对抗正常经营活动中已经支付合理价款并取得抵押财产的买受人。《民法典》未明文确立担保权收益延伸规则,但在理论层面上仍尚有将其纳入现行法体系的解释空间,且民事主体可在商业实践中通过意思自治达致类似效果。     

近30年中国英语课程设计范式变革之检讨及其现实启示

从哲学的范式理论角度来看,影响课程设计的核心因素有国家计划、社会和市场的需求、教学共同体的集体惯性和内部的变革要求以及受教育者的呼声等;本文从历时角度描述并反思近30年来影响英语课程设计范式变革的核心内生和外生变量,阐述其内生和外生变量的运作方式.课程设计范式变革对外语教育的现实启示如教育应根据市场和社会的需求对自身作适当的反思甚至调适、外语教育应和宏观教育结合起来.     

Branding national issues: India and the branding bandwagon

Branding in the global sense of the marketing discourse has firmly entrenched itself in India like most international markets. Branding and Urban processes are creating a whole new way of looking at oneself and creating new notions of self-worth. This paper will examine the obsession with the idea of branding that cuts across not only just products that are advertised for monetary purchase but also branding that cuts across matters of national concern, of belonging to ideological frameworks, and even reading cultures. Clearly, everything seems to require a label, a sign that comes with a ready sense of identity, of a shelf value that gives temporary sense of collective spirit and provides a much needed soul-stirring experience. This paper will examine recent media-driven branding exercises for issues of national importance against the backdrop of Gandhi as a super-sign and a brand that is revisited at every juncture of social and political phase in the country even today. The paper takes recourse to Umberto Eco's theory of sign production and the theory of codes to understand that signification is a complex process and all signs do not qualify as semiotic judgments. Herein, is the importance of Gandhi as a super sign – the power of cultural codes and Gandhi's ability to identify the semantics of these codes, where most contemporary branding exercises have failed. Another equally important example of a super-sign in India, the game of cricket is an exemplary of cultural codes and the modes of sign production coming together to stand in for “nationalism” of lasting value.
