Citizen Social Right in China:Retrospection,Reality and Suggestion for Policy-making YU Jian-xing, LOU Su-ping 2008, (12):  23-30.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1932KB) ( )   In the establishment of western welfare states,the concepts of citizenship and citizen social right have been a dominant theme of social policies of major developed countries after World War II.The author emphasize that implementation of social right is the most important way to maintain social justice in market economy.While establishment of the minimum livelihood guarantee system,enforcement of free compulsory education,and increasing coverage of social insurance beneficiaries imply an expansion of social right of Chinese people,it is not based on citizenship,but on factors like status,occupation and economic capacity.As a result,the effect of social right in promoting social equality is minimized.In fact,differentiated welfare itself is a source of social inequality.The advancing of building a harmonious society provides possibilities of further expanding social right in China.Reform the Hukou system and equalizing the provision of basic public services by the government are two main approaches to expanding citizen social rights in China;both of which require an active response from and adjustment in the public governance system,institutional reform and innovation at various levels of policy-making as well.

Three Waves of Emancipation of Thought and Evolution of the Contemporary Chinese Concept of Development LI Yu-qin 2008, (12):  39-44.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1387KB) ( )   The 30-year historical course of implementing reform and open-up policies showed continous progress of emancipation of thought.Each wave of thought emancipation helped remove certain theoretical obstacles to development.The first wave corrected the dogma of "Two-whatevers" and led to the consequent transformation from "class struggle as the general principle" to "economic construction as the center of our work",which stressed the critical position of developing productivity.The second wave of thought emancipation solved the dispute of "capitalism" or "socialism".As a result,the transformation from "planned economic system" to "market economic system" was carried out.This marked a new stage of institutional innovation.The third wave of thought emancipation addressed orientation of the value of development,which led to the historic transcendence from emphasizing material production to "human orientedness" and "scientific development".
