The Thought, System, and Strategy: Understanding the Innovation of the Holistic Approach to National Security from Three Dimensions Huang Dahui 2024, 58 (7):  6-18.  Abstract ( )   PDF (10317KB) ( )   The national security thought, system and strategy in the new era are interconnected and complementary, which are three important dimensions for understanding the innovation of the holistic approach to national security. The first innovation of the holistic approach to national security lies in the innovation of thought, which leads the transformation of the national security thinking mode with the integrated logic of systematic coordination, focusing on the overall goal of “ten principles to adhere to”, discerning the complex internal and external environment and practice with the overall security benefits as the standard, and promoting all parties and the whole society to participate in maintaining national security. Secondly, the pioneering ideological innovation leads the innovation of formal and informal security systems. In the past ten years, China has established a national security system that takes into account both internal and external factors and integrates multiple functions, as well as a centralized, unified, efficient mechanism with “the Partys leadership over the security sector”, and has embarked on a path of national security with Chinese characteristics featured by the “five principles to adhere to”. Finally, innovation in the thought and system jointly promote the innovative coordination of Chinas “grand strategy”, for which we strive to pursue development and safeguard security, build a new development pattern, enhance the security and stability of economic development, and form new quality productive forces. It is necessary to safeguard Chinas new development pattern with a new security architecture and achieve virtuous interaction between highquality development and highlevel security.

External Motivations, Internal Logic and Principles for Building a New Security Architecture Fu Xiaoqiang, Deng Menjia 2024, 58 (7):  19-29.  Abstract ( )   PDF (9180KB) ( )   The report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed “safeguarding Chinas new development pattern with a new security architecture” for the first time, which is an important measure for the country to pursue development and safeguard security under the new circumstances and promote the upgrading and evolution of its security strategy. From the perspective of external motivations, accelerating the construction of a new security architecture is an inevitable choice to cope with the profound changes in the international security situation, enhance Chinas international security discourse power in the new era, and create a higherlevel and more forwardlooking support under the background of security deficit and governance fragmentation. From the perspective of internal logic, accelerating the construction of a new security architecture is an inevitable requirement to improve the overall balance between domestic and international situations, coordinate tasks of reform, development and stability under the new circumstances, and achieve virtuous interaction between highlevel security and highquality development. The great achievements made regarding Chinas national security since the new era have provided theoretical and practical preparations for the construction of a new security architecture. In the future, we should base ourselves on the dynamic development of the internal and external security environment, take the holistic approach to national security as a guide, and accelerate the construction of a new security architecture that is compatible with the new development pattern.  Related Articles | Metrics

Analysis of Ways to Achieve the Modernization of the National Security System and Capability Tang Yongsheng 2024, 58 (7):  30-38.  Abstract ( )   PDF (6348KB) ( )   The modernization of the national security system and capacity is an important part of the modernization of the national governance system and capacity. Only by taking reform and innovation as the driving force and striving to improve a systematic, complete, scientific and efficient national security system can we fundamentally step up the coordination and improve the efficiency of national security work, and attain strategic sovereignty in safeguarding national security under complex situations. The formation, accumulation, and application of national security strategic capability require proactive coordination of resources and strength, in order to achieve a basic equilibrium between strategic capability and strategic objectives, responding to and preventing major strategic risks, and creating a favorable situation for national security. Only by strengthening the certainty of Chinas development and progress can we effectively cope with the uncertainty of the external environment. The modernization of the national security system and capability also needs to be assessed by the practice of safeguarding national security under the conditions of openingup. Only by promoting positive interaction between China and the outside world can domestic and international security governance promote and support each other. The more severe and volatile the external environment becomes, the more necessary it is to maintain strategic sobriety, be good at understanding, adapting, and grasping changes in conditions concerning security, and adopt a coordinated approach and be wellgrounded in making advances or beating a retreat in the everbroader field of time and space, so as to sustain peace and stability in the country.

The Textual Analysis of Social Relations in Marx and Engels'Philosophical View of History and the Contemporary Reflection: Based on the Classical Expositions from The German Ideology  Wang Hongbo 2024, 58 (7):  47-54.  Abstract ( )   PDF (6884KB) ( )   The idea of “social relations” is deeply and theoretically embedded in historical materialism. In the classic text of The German Ideology, the idea of “social relations” is clearly presented.

Marx and Engels idea of on social relations have deep connotations such as being critical, communal, and methodical. Related Articles | Metrics

The Theory of Urban Housing in Engels's The Housing Question and Practices of its Adaptation to the Chinese Context in the New Era Zhou Wen, Chai Sijie, Yang Zekun 2024, 58 (7):  55-67.  Abstract ( )   PDF (10226KB) ( )   n The Housing Question, Engels resolutely refutes the approaches of Proudhonists and bourgeoisie to the problem of housing shortage, and forms the basic Marxist urban housing theory by following the path of historical materialism and political economics. As socialism with Chinese characteristics enters a new era, upholding the principle of peoplecentered development and with the basic objective of “meeting the housing needs of all people”, the Communist Party of China effectively addresses urban housing difficulties, improves the governmentsubsidized home system, standardizes and develops the housing rental market, and promotes the integrated development of urban and rural areas in China. These practices in adapting it to the Chinese context are interpretations and connotations of the Marxist urban housing theory implied by The Housing Question in contemporary times, promoting the innovation and development of the socialist theory of urban housing with Chinese characteristics.

The Challenges Brought by Changes in Social Class Structure to Ideological and Political Education and its Responses  Li Liaoning, Wei Qianqian 2024, 58 (7):  68-79.  Abstract ( )   PDF (9165KB) ( )   There are interactive relationships between changes in social class structure and ideological and political education. On one hand, the changes in social class structure provide a macro social background for ideological and political education, shaping the object and internal structure of ideological and political education; on the other hand, ideological and political education actively affects the changes in social class structure and plays an important role in guiding the values of different social groups. Since the founding of the Peoples Republic of China, the social class structure has undergone major changes. Ideological and political education has kept in alignment with and served the central tasks of the Party and the country, conformed to the trend of changes in class composition, paid attention to social ideological issues, and accumulated rich experience in the process of responding to the changes in social class structure. In the new journey of building a modern socialist country in an allround way, China has been in a critical period for the formation of an ideal social class structure. In view of the trend of differentiation in social spatial structure and under the complex situation in the field of social ideology, promoting the formation of an ideal social class structure and building ideological consensus among members of different class groups have become new tasks and challenges for ideological and political education. To this end, ideological and political education should deeply embed its functional values into the formation process of the ideal social class structure, realize extensive coverage on a categorized basis in the reshaping of the social spatial pattern, and achieve integrated innovation of the internal structure in the precise response to the evolution of social values.

The State Theory and Chinese Socialist Political Economy: A Critical Examination from a Comparative Perspective Ge Haoyang 2024, 58 (7):  80-90.  Abstract ( )   PDF (9148KB) ( )   The state theory is a common focus of research on Chinese socialist political economy in recent years, and the current studies can be divided into three categories from a problemconscious perspective: the reasons for incorporating the state theory into the theoretical system of Chinese socialist political economy; how to incorporate the state theory into the theoretical system of Chinese socialist political economy; and the manifestation of the importance of the state in other theoretical systems. According to the scope and extent of the role of the state in economic activities, the theory of the state in economics can be roughly divided into the following four types of explanatory logics: liberal economics, public economics, the developmental state, and new institutional economics. Compared with the above explanatory logics, the understanding of the economic function of the state in Marxist state theory is rooted in its class theory that the state is the product of irreconcilable class contradictions in origin and a tool of class rule in nature, and the economic function of the state is first manifested as the requirements of class attributes. The role of the “state” in Chinese socialist political economy precedes that of the “market” in logical order, and the “state” should be used to explain the “market” in interpretation; besides, there exists an internal dialectical relationship between the “state” and the “market”.

From “Movement” to “Activity”: The Evolution of Forms of Intraparty Intensive Education Initiatives by the Communist Party of China Song Daolei, Zhang Xue 2024, 58 (7):  91-102.  Abstract ( )   PDF (9298KB) ( )   Intraparty intensive education initiatives are an important way for the Communist Party of China to promote selfreform. The “movement” and “activity” are two forms of intensive education initiatives within the Communist Party of China, and there are both connections and differences between the two. Looking back on the history of the Party, intraparty intensive education initiatives has undergone a transition from “movement” to “activity”. The evolution of forms of intraparty intensive education initiatives is the result of the interaction of multiple factors such as ideas, key junctures, the institutional environment and original path. The evolution is not about a complete replacement between forms, but the result of inheritance, development and innovation of intraparty intensive education initiatives as an important way for the Partys selfreform. In the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China with Xi jinping as the core has carried out intraparty intensive education initiatives at critical junctures, achieved a series of achievements, strengthened the Party building, and improved the Partys governance and leadership capacity. In new era and new journey, we must adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, persist in carrying out intraparty intensive education initiatives, and constantly elevate the Partys selfreform to a new height.

On Lukács and the Budapest Schools Understanding of the Relationship between the Economic Base and the Superstructure Zhang Shuang 2024, 58 (7):  103-114.  Abstract ( )   PDF (9977KB) ( )   Human societys constructions are predicated upon the idea of “the economic base determines the superstructure” in Marxs theory. The understandings of Lukács and the Budapest School on the relationship between the economic base and the superstructure are both intersecting and diverging. The convergence is manifested in the fact that Lukács, starting from the capitalist mode of production and economic structure, criticizes the capitalist commodity economy and society, reveals the root cause of the emergence of materialized consciousness and class consciousness, and explores the necessity of socialist democratic construction; the Budapest School also analyzes and criticizes fascism, capitalism and the Soviet model from the perspective of economic structure, and explores a new socialist model. The divergence of the two lies in that: first, Lukács focuses on and reconstructs the overall relationship between the economic base and the superstructure, while the Budapest School believes that Lukács falls into economic determinism and reductionism because of the view that “the economic base determines the superstructure”; second,Lukács affirms Soviet socialism and its democracy and opposes the replacement of socialist democracy with bourgeois democracy, while the Budapest School moves from criticism to negation of the Soviet model and takes a reserved attitude towards capitalist democracy. The Budapest Schools denial of the primary principle of Marxist economics has led to a huge difference in their understanding of socialism from that of Lukács and Marx, and from the true meaning of historical materialism.
