Theoretical Basis and Extension of Localization of Marxism in China——Further Understanding of the Dialectical Relationship of Universality and Particularity in the Domestic Academic Circle LIU Jing-fang 2011, (12):  13-19.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (337KB) ( )   The dialectical relationship of universality and particularity is the theoretical basis of localization of Marxism in China.In this continuing process the Chinese academics extend their understanding of the universality-particularity relationship in three aspects.1.In balancing universality and particularity,the Chinese scholars hold different ideas from their western counterpart.The Chinese put more emphasis on particularity while the western traditional idea stresses universality;2.In terms of the transition from universality to particularity,that is,the application of universal principles,the Chinese scholars criticize the mechanical(dogmatic) application model and approve the heuristic(creative) model;3.In terms of the transition from the particularity to universality,the Chinese scholars downplay the universality of the type(the nature),while highlight the universality of example and construction.These points of extension have cleared away to a certain extent the theoretical obstacles to localization of Marxism in China,and expanded the space for further development of localized Marxism in China.

How Public Policies Affect the National Positioning of Science and Technology LIU Da-chun, YANG Hui-li 2011, (12):  20-26.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (347KB) ( )   Since the late 1970s,the public policies about science and technology in China have undergone three major changes.The first change was the so-called "bringing order out of chaos" with rehabilitation of science and technology and vindication of the intellectuals.The second change came when progress in science and technology was regarded as an important conditioner in transformation of the patterns of economic growth,emphasizing the role of science and technology as the first productive force.The third change took place when progress of science and technology were directed towards sustainable development,advocating green science and technology and ecological civilization.By adjusting public policies about science and technology as the conditioner,different positioning of science and technology was achieved at different historical periods.At present,adjustments in the study of public policies are required,especially in the objectives,methods and ideas of public policies.

On the Chinese Low-wage System: Phase Characters and Interim Measures GUO Fei, WANG Fei 2011, (12):  27-36.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (474KB) ( )   For a long time China has implemented a low-wage system.While major characters of this wage system differ in the period of planned economy from those in the institutional transition period,the basic causes for it are the same,that is,low productivity and the guideline of "high accumulation,low consumption" for economic construction.During the period of the "Twelfth Five-year Plan" this low-wage system should be further reformed for perfection,the national income distribution should be optimized,and upgrading of people’s life and social harmony should be promoted.In the long run,a transition from the low-wage system to a medium and high wage system should be gradually realized.

The Predicament and Countermeasures of Public Service Supplied by Public-private Partnership DANG Xiu-yun, YANG Ji-hong 2011, (12):  37-44.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (370KB) ( )   The public-private partnership in public service supply is an institutional arrangement designed against the disadvantages of the traditional mode of public services which was solely supplied by the government.It is also meant to improve the supply efficiency of public services.In most countries,the organic combination and cooperation between the government and the private sectors in linking the arrangement,production,and payment for offering high-quality public services to citizens has been the first choice in government reforms.The current patterns of public services supplied by public-private partnership include government contracting,franchising,government participation,government financial aid and so on.In the actual practice of public-private partnership in China,weaknesses and problems still exist in the access of the private sectors,the exit of state-owned capital,the supplying process,and the ultimate effects of service supply.Therefore,the most important issues in the reform and development of China’s public services are how to overcome the difficulties and solve the problems that face public-private partnership,and how to construct a platform and institutional framework for good public-private partnership.

On the Time Orientation of Marxism TAO Wen-zhao 2011, (12):  59-65.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (346KB) ( )   Marxism is a systematic and open concept.It refers not only to the thought of Marx,but also to the thought of his successors.For China,it mainly stands for classical Marxism and localized Marxism in China.The time orientation covers Marxism as a whole,including the world outlook,methodology and various principles and ideas,though aspects of their specific performance are not the same.Time is a multi-dimensional and complicated concept.It is composed of many perspectives such as social development and technological development.The meaning of time in a particular country is the organic integration of international and domestic time.The basic orientation of time is moving forward,that is,from low time to high time.But in reality,time can be so complicated as to move from high time to low time.

Opening-up and the Size of Local Government: An Empirical Analysis Based on Provincial Panel Data JIANG Jun-yan, WU Di 2011, (12):  66-72.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (407KB) ( )   This article reviewed several streams of international political economic interpretations on the linkage between economic openness and the size of the government.A regression analysis based on the provincial panel data of China from 1992 to 2009 was used to examine the changing relationship between foreign trade and fiscal scale of local governments.The results revealed that as the level of economic openness rose both the expenditure and the revenue of provincial governments increased to varying degrees.The empirical analysis offers preliminary support to the hypothesis that increasing foreign trade openness leads to expansion in the size of the government,and suggests that interdepartmental transfer of economic activities have important impact on fiscal revenues.

From Type to Institutionalization——A Shift of Perspective in Western Democratic Political Studies of Party System YE Qi-lin 2011, (12):  81-87.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (359KB) ( )   As an implementation mechanism,the party system has been a very important research topic of western democratic politics.Inspected from a diachronic perspective,a shift of research perspectives from the type of party system to institutionalization of the party system is becoming obvious.To be more specific,ever since the party system was viewed as an implementation mechanism,heated debates over the advantages and disadvantages of each type of party system with regard to democratic politics have been on.However,experience suggests that both the two-party system and multi-party system have produced stable governments that maintained proper operation of democratic politics.Focusing on the type of party system alone is not of substantial significance for democratic politics.Therefore,beginning from the second half of the twentieth century many scholars started to turn their attention to the perspective of institutionalization and examined the capacity of each type of party system in its operational function to support democratic politics.Thus,a shift of research perspectives is realized.
