Historical Materialism and Problems in Modern China LIU Ben 2005, (3):  5-11.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1055KB) ( )   Problems of a time, very often expressed by its maxims, indicate the call of the time. The pre requisite of finding solutions to these problems lies in the right perspective of posing the problems. Likewise, localization of Marxism in China has been the result of appropriately presenting and dealing with the problems of China. In the capitalist mode of production, growth of production is at the expense of human development. But in socialist China, the author emphasizes, growth of production and human development are integrated with distribution of welfare in accordance with distribution of labor, which stands as an essential distinction between China and capitalist countries.

On Foundation of Communication and Dialogue in New Institutional Politics HE Jun-zhi 2005, (3):  45-51.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (823KB) ( )   Up till now new institutionalism is at a developmental stage where varieties with similarities and differences give rise to the issue of communication and dialogue among themselves. For one thing, new institutionalists do not agree on the possibility of potential communication and dialogue among the three approaches to analysis. For another, there is extensive evidence to show overlapping among the three. The empirical overlapping makes the original criteria for classification implicit. Therefore, it is necessary that a new mode of communication and dialogue be established. In order to achieve this end, the author holds, a new research agenda should be set up to include the sofar neglected school of thoughts into the dialogue in order to turn new institutionalism to be more capable of interpretation with higher adaptability.

The Study of International Institutions: From Old Institutionalism to New Institutionalism TIAN Ye 2005, (3):  52-58.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1318KB) ( )   The early study of international institutions had the obvious features of the formal or legal institutional analysis with the title of old institutionalism. The revolution of behavioralism and the concept of international regimes provided academic background for replacement of the new institutionalism for the old institutionalism. At least, the new institutionalism has been divided into three different types of new institutionalism: rational choice institutionalism, sociological institutionalism and historical institutionalism. As far as the basic logic of action is concerned, the rational choice institutionalism can be ascribed to the logic of expected consequences, and sociological institutionalism can be attributed to the logic of appropriateness. However, rational choice institutionalism and sociological institutionalism share the same concept of efficient histories. On the contrary, the historical institutionalists insist that histories are often inefficient and thus bring history back in their institutional approach. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Under the influence of the new diplomatic idea, some adjustments have already been made to the Chinese diplomacy. References | Related Articles | Metrics
