    On Benefits and Representing Fundamental Benefits of the Majority
    CHEN Zhan-an, LI Xiao-dong
    2004, (4):  28-34.  DOI:
    Abstract ( )   PDF (1312KB) ( )  
    Marx considers needs to be the point of departure for understanding the concept of benefit and its sociological significance. He holds that after benefit has developed to a certain degree, it will become needs that are strong enough to motivate involvement in social practice. Needs in this sense consist of both subjective and objective factors, namely, the drive from wants and the stimulus by the environment, including the subjective motives to satisfy the needs and the objective tool to meet the needs. The author concludes that representing the fundamental benefits of the people means encouraging the people to be actively involved with creativity on the one hand, and providing optimum conditions for the people to meet their needs and actualize their wants on the other. The key lies in maintaining harmonious and balanced relation between social development and human development.

    Division and Employment: A New Analysis Framework of Economic Growth
    Cai Bin-bin
    2004, (4):  43-47.  DOI:
    Abstract ( )   PDF (481KB) ( )  
    The new analysis framework of economic growth is based on the division of labor and employment in which a dynamic market is prompted by self-evolution of division. Thus, the level of labor division becomes an important index to measure quality of economic growth, while the level of employment becomes an index to measure the quantity of economic growth. This division-employment mechanism of measuring economic growth opens new possibilities for policy making in developing countries. Examined in the light of this analysis framework, the employment problem in China lies fundamentally in a combination of low-level labor division and accumulation of low-level human capital. Therefore, the author concludes, an enlarged space for sufficient and higher level labor division is the basis for solving employment problems in China.

    On Orientation of Rebuilding Anthropocentrism
    ZHANG Yun-fei, REN Ling
    2004, (4):  48-54.  DOI:
    Abstract ( )   PDF (799KB) ( )  
    Human beings live in a network of relations. This network consists of eco-relation between man and nature, and social relation among human beings. Human activities are governed by both social rules and natural rules, with the society and nature dialectically related. Within the social system of human beings are two coordinates, the vertical one of time, namely intergeneration equity, and the horizontal one of space, namely, intrageneration equity. While rebuilding anthropocentrism both rules and both coordinates should be taken into consideration. Otherwise the rebuilding cannot be thorough. This orientation demands integration of echo-anthropocentrism, sustainable anthropocentrism and holistic anthropocentrism. Only in this way can anthropocentrism justify and pave the way for axiology of both eco-values and eco-morality.

    LI Hong-zhuan
    2004, (4):  55-62.  DOI:
    Abstract ( )   PDF (876KB) ( )  
    The author maintains that the structuration theory proposed by Giddens is not merely a theory of sociology. In fact, it also consists in a concept of social history. It offers a new perspective of analyzing and interpreting human activities in the light of the structure of human society, types of human society and changes of human society. In this sense, it contributes to realization of reconstructing the contemporary Western concept of social history.

    Historical Analysis of China’s Chosen Approach to Industrialization
    Wu Li
    2004, (4):  71-77.  DOI:
    Abstract ( )   PDF (1347KB) ( )  
    The course of industrialization in China has experienced three alternative choices of approaches, namely, the choice that "gave priority to heavy industry" based on "an economic system of sole public ownership" in 1950s, the one of "extensive overall development" based on policies of "reform and open-up to the outside world" in the 1980s, and the choice of "a new approach to industrialization" under circumstances of socialist marker economy at the turn of the century. These historical choices have resulted from the specific climate of economic development as well as the deepening understanding of the appropriate approach to industrialization on the part of the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese goverment.

    CHENG Yan-yuan
    2004, (4):  82-87.  DOI:
    Abstract ( )   PDF (543KB) ( )  
    Group negotiation as an institutional approach to adjusting employment relation is widely practiced in Western countries. Whether this approach can be accepted by the management as a major means to decide on requirement for employment and welfare of the employee depends on two different value systems.
