International Relations in the Realm of Political Theory ZHANG Wang 2009, (5):  52-58.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1543KB) ( )   Political theory(PT) and international relations(IR) are two academic sub-fields of political studies that were once closely intertwined.They gradually developed separately into two independent research disciplines as the consequence of two important debates in the history of discipline development.The end of the cold war and the acceleration of globalization not only mean a challenge to the mainstream theorists,but also result in a breakthrough of the borderline dividing domestic politics and international relations.Thus integration of PT and IR is achieved again.The author concludes that political theory offers guidelines for us to understand the rich heritage of world politics,set the ground for the norms of behavior on the part of the state,and establish values for a fair and rational international order.

On Statistical Discrimination in the Labor Market:Causes,Long-term Existence and Anti-discrimination Measures SHI Wei, QING Shi-song 2009, (5):  66-72.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1288KB) ( )   The authors hold that the statistical discrimination model fully accounts for the phenomenon of income discrepancy caused by non-productive features that have long existed in the labor market through incomplete information on labor competency.A review of the literature reveals three major causes for statistical discrimination,namely,discrepancy in competence within the group,invalid estimation of the competence of the group,and endogenous investment of human resources.Meanwhile,the low efficiency of employers in updating the information,cross-generation transition of discrimination,and the strategies taken by the employers in judging the competence all lead to the long-term existence of statistical discrimination.The paper also summarizes major findings and conclusions of empirical studies.Validation of anti-discrimination measures is also discussed.

Magnifying and Diluting:U.S.Congress and Trade Protectionism LI Shu-jun, SHEN Xin 2009, (5):  80-88.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1944KB) ( )   The general election in 2008 solidified the position of the Democrats as the majority in the new U.S.Congress which gives more weight to the studies on the relationship of U.S.Congress with trade protectionism.This article offers a theoretical analysis of this issue with empirical evidence.The authors argue that the Congress has only magnified the public sentiments of protectionism and created a strong atmosphere of protectionism on the Capitol Hill by means of the political structure,but very few bills in support of protectionism have been passed.This fact can be attributed to the inherent power of veto and fast truck authority of the Congress.This conclusion can also be drawn from a study of the China-related trade bills from the 102nd to 110th Congress.
