Course Development and Discipline Development——On the Courses of Ideology and Political Studies and Marxist Theories as a Discipline ZHANG Lei-sheng 2006, (10):  5-11.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1197KB) ( )   The author observes that there exists certain misunderstanding in distinguishing course development and discipline development,that is,the development of the ideological and political courses and the development of Marxist theories as a discipline.The author cites four cases of such misunderstanding:considering the development of Marxist theories as a discipline to have been resulted from the reform of the ideological and political courses,regarding course development of ideological and political studies to be equal to the development of Marxist theories as a discipline;confining the theoretical support of ideological and political courses to Marxist theories;and matching the five subjects of Marxist theories with relevant courses of ideology and political studies respectively.The author points out that an analysis of these misunderstandings is meant to clarify the relationships between courses of ideology and political studies and the discipline of Marxist theories.It is necessary to be aware of the differences between course development and discipline development.Meanwhile,it is equally important to place course development into the process of discipline development,and view development of a course from the perspective of the needs of the discipline it belongs to.All this is intended to improve the effectiveness of the teaching of ideological and political courses to enhance development of Marxist theories as a discipline.

On Provision Models of Public Products in the Rural Areas and Design of the Provision System CHEN Peng 2006, (10):  19-25.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1005KB) ( )   Development of the rural areas is the foundation of the social development of China.The provision of the public products in the rural areas affects the level of socialization of the peasants,development of agriculture and social stability of the rural areas as well.Provision of public products in the rural areas beyond the system has long been a major cause that accounts for their severe shortage.The author suggests that an effective and feasible way to redress this situation lies in promoting the combined functions of the government,the market,the community and the third force in provision of public products.

Inherent Values of the System and Survival Concept of Modern Society LIU Tian-cai 2006, (10):  26-30.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1198KB) ( )   No society can survive without a rational consensus among its members about values.This is indicated by the people’s conscious and self-regulated behaviors based on their identity with the legal arrangement of the social system.A civilized,just and healthy concept of administration of a modern political state is thus established.This is also a crucial and internal structural factor for the proper development of a modern civil society.Under circumstances of the market economy,the biased assumption about the "instrumental sense" of the "rational economic person" cannot lead to establishment of the public value and mood of the "social-cultural person".The author points out that separation of "the public and private domains" in the current social transitional period has placed the issues concerning the mission of public causes and responsibility high on the agenda of priority.It means that it is time that we re-establish the survival concept based on "shared benefits" and "community of civil society",and consider it an ideal choice of value for a new social system.

On Power and Power Control TIAN Kai 2006, (10):  45-51.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1229KB) ( )   Scholars at home and abroad have offered different interpretations of power.Generally speaking,power refers to the influence one expects to impose on others characterized as mandatory,unidirectional,interdependent,instrumental,self-aggrandizement and aggressive.The necessity for power control lies in the likelihood that its character of self-dissimilation and its private property tend to combine,making it hard to control.Moreover,the dual contradiction in operation of power renders possibilities of its going out of control,and power beyond control will surely induce corruption,which will lead to serious negative consequences.Nonetheless,power control is possible because the main characteristics of power are finite,relative,and controllable.

Derrida:The Ghost and Ideology HE Cui-xiang 2006, (10):  52-57.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1618KB) ( )   Derrida’s idea of the ghost is closely related to his theory of ideology.However,this has long been neglected by the Chinese scholars of Marxist theory.By describing the production and operation of the ghost and its logics,Derrida discovered that ideology irreducibly bore both the ghost’s character and the religious character.In the light of this description,Derrida maintained that ideology was hard to define and impossible to deconstruct. As is the case of other general beliefs,realization of the functions of ideology are marked with autonomy and automaticity.In addition,ideology also embraces the concept of criticism,that is,construction of ideology manifests the dimension of critique and self-critique.In fact,Derrida’s idea of the ghost and his ideological theory initiated a revolution of"hauntinglogy"of the ghost against the traditional theory of metaphysical ontology.

The New Trend of Modern Theories of State-society Relations in the West PANG Jin-you 2006, (10):  66-72.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1691KB) ( )   The theory of the state-society relations in the fame of traditional national states is confronted with challenges from globalization.For one thing,some of the functions and roles of the national states are impinged,on the other hand,tie position and functions of the multinationals and NGOs are on the rise.However,given the characteristics of the national states such as their inherent flexibility and irreplaceable position,and the vulnerable independence of the civil society and its reliance on the state,most western scholars confirm the status and functions of the national states in the process of globalization.They agree that while globalization has broken through the traditional boundaries between the state and the society and the balanced powers of the two,it also created opportunities for collaboration and conflicts accordingly.In order to establish a harmonious mode of relation,it is necessary that both sides should be worked on to seek a multidimensional frame of relations aimed at mutual benefits.
