Research Group of RUC Social Development Report Zhang Jianming, Fan Bin 1998, (3):  7-13.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (946KB) ( )   The period of 1996-1997 is a crucial year in China when economic reform was pushed forward in greater depth. It is also a year of intensified social contradictions and social problems arising in the course of social transformation. Three causes can be listed for those social problems. First, the economic cause. Backward economic reproduction and unbalanced economic development on top of unbalanced population growth give rise to crises in natural reproduction. Second, the systemic cause. Lack of support from necessary measures makes correct policies fail to reach the expected goals in the operation of the present system, and, to make the matter worse, bring about negative results. Besides, the dual nature of production models and criteria makes the two interfere with one aother, which leads to disfunction of the major part of the system. Third, the cause of values. Causes of values come from conflicts of interest, which push various values to the extremes with irresponsibility and vulgarity. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Adjustment of China’s Industry Structureand Its Impact on Sustained Economic Increases Hu Chunli 1998, (3):  14-20.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (907KB) ( )   The article holds that it is the sustained adjustment of industry structure since the start of the reform and open-up that leads to the sustained economic increase. The "Ninth Five-Year Plan Period" has seen such tremendous changes in supply and demand that it witnesses the emergence of a buyer’s market, which marks fulfillment of quantitative adjustment of industry structure. At present, then, the main defect of our industry structure is a bias towards primary processing, which results in the contradiction between insufficient and low quality supply in the face of high quality demand. This phenomenon signals a new stage of structure adjustment with a focus of upgrading the quality of industry structure. Only through raising the quality of the structure by developing a series of technology intensive industries can we enlarge our market and therefore guarantee sustained and steady growth in our national economy.

Human Society and Theory of Self-Organized System Yang Guihua 1998, (3):  27-32.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (862KB) ( )   The idea of system has experienced changes from an ancient simple conception of system to the systemic theory of the modern times. Thus the systemic theory of self-organization sheds light on understanding of the systemic nature of human society. According to this theory, in the course of interactions with nature human society displays its intentional and complex nature as well as its function as a medium. The result of these interactions is personification of nature, signification of information, and socialization of energy, showing self-organization of human society. This characteristics is also expressed in the mechanics and manners of the new exercising influence over the old, and in the tendency of development of national regions melting into the world history stimulated by interactions among different countries.

Two Conceptions of Democracyin the May 4th Movement Period Zhu Zhimin 1998, (3):  39-45.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1934KB) ( )   In the period of May 4th Movement when cultural and ideological activities were intensive and popular existed two different conceptions of democracy, namely, conception of “the populace" and conception of “the elite". Democratic conception of “the populace" emphasized ideas of “human rights", “national politics", and “labors are sacred". People in this camp called for realization of democracy through citizens’ participation of politics, wide-spread education and liberation of the common people on the basis of destruction of inequality in all kinds of political systems. Democratic conception of “the elite", on the other hand, emphasized ideas of “personality" and “politics of the elite". People in this camp called for realization of democracy through perfection of personality, development of individuals and politics of the cream within the framework of the existing system. Both conceptions are the results of observation of and retrospection over the social realities of China. They were from different angles, though. Both had their good points and contradicting ideas or defects as well. That marxism became generally accepted and actualized in the end on the basis of the democratic conception of “the populace" is obviously a correct and intelligent choice proved by history.
