Are State-owned Enterprises Definitely of Low Efficiency? ——An Empirical Study from China with Theoretical Interpretations HONG Gong-Xiang, DONG Mei-Sheng 2012, 47 (8):  40-48.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1854KB) ( )   After 30 years of reform and institutional innovation, the stateowned enterprises have not only got out of the development dilemma, but also become the principal part of the market with relatively higher labor productivity, stronger profitability and competitiveness. However, some scholars still insist that stateowned enterprises are of low efficiency, claiming that they must gradually withdraw from competitive fields. Based on an empirical study, the paper finds that there is no significant difference between stateowned or private listing corporations in terms of financial efficiency and technical efficiency. An examination of the budget constraints indicators establishes the fact that neither stateowned enterprises nor private enterprises have problems of soft budget constraint. Therefore, conclusions can be reached that the competition environment for stateowned enterprises and private enterprises are basically the same, and that stateowned enterprises are not gaining more benefits from the government. The authors hold that the claims that “stateowned enterprises are of low efficiency”and “the real rate of return on net assets of stateowned enterprises is negative”do not hold water. There is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that stateowned enterprises should withdraw from competitive fields. Related Articles | Metrics

Chinese Research Paradigms of Marxist Philosophy: History and Tendency ZHUANG You-Gang-1, FENG Jian-Hua-2 2012, 47 (8):  57-63.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1435KB) ( )   The formation of the research paradigms of the history of Marxist philosophy in China are the stage of rise and flourishing (in the 1980s), the stage of ambivalence and explorations (in the 1990s), and the stage of innovation and transcendence (since the new century). During this course, three major paradigms were formed, namely, the study of the general history, the study of the dynastic history, and the thematic study. The historical development of the research paradigms of the history of Marxist philosophy shows its unique position and value in the researches of Marxist philosophy by Chinese scholars. It also implies the limitations and shortcomings of the current researches which point to the general research tendency and the main tasks to be carried out in the future. Related Articles | Metrics

Epistemological Explanations of Ideological Illusion ——An Important Idea in the Social Consciousness Theory Raised by Marx and Engels HU Xiao 2012, 47 (8):  64-72.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1857KB) ( )   Under certain circumstances ideology is an illusionary projection of its subject about the society. The reason for this is not only the reversion of the social relation itself, but also the unique spiritual production mode, thinking patterns and discourse style of the dominant force and ideological classes of the society. Marx and Engels had offered systematic explanations of this, which may serve as the key to conscious understanding of this ideological phenomenon. Related Articles | Metrics

On the Existing Problems and the Changing Tendency of Curriculum Development and Theoretical Evolution of International Relations CHEN Yu-Gang 2012, 47 (8):  73-79.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1499KB) ( )   The IR theories have given international relations the status of an independent discipline. In the past hundred years, the debates over major IR theoretical paradigms were mostly among American IR researchers. Consequently, these theories are marked by obvious characters of hegemony and inequality. An examination of the present development established the fact that this discipline is facing the problem of serious incapability. An increasing number of incidences in the practical development of international relations are beyond explanations by the current IR theories. Therefore, this discipline will undergo certain changes with the tendency of dehegemony, multidisciplines, and dual development of nationalism and Globalism. Related Articles | Metrics

The Formation,Evolution Motives and Practical Challenges of the Diplomatic Style of Chinese Characteristics in the New Era HU Zong-Shan 2012, 47 (8):  80-86.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1604KB) ( )   The diplomatic style of a country includes the diplomatic style of its leaders, its diplomatic team, and that of the state as a whole. Since the start of the new era of reform and opening up, the Chinese diplomatic style has gradually formed to serve for the overall objectives of the state and to meet the needs of our foreign strategies. This style can be described as being peaceloving but independent, generous and courageous, integrity and rational, cautious and decisive, pragmatic and firm, bearing the characters of maintaining hardness and softness, alternating tension with relaxation, being both offensive and defensive, and showing smoothness outside and being unyielding inside. The Chinese diplomatic style has made great contributions to implementation of the Chinese foreign strategies and establishment of a stable international climate in bordering areas. However, under circumstances of the new era, this diplomatic style has met new and tremendous challenges. Thus, certain modification in line with the adjustment of the national foreign strategies is required. Related Articles | Metrics

Theoretical Assumption of Realism: A Feminist Interpretation SU Yun-Ting 2012, 47 (8):  87-93.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1498KB) ( )   Realism is the orthodox theory of international politics. Analyses and criticism of realism is a necessary aspect for the development of nonmainstream schools such as feminism. There are four preset basic assumptions of realism. 1. International politics is a detached domain to domestic politics; 2. International society is an anarchy state without legitimate central authority; 3. International society is characteristic of statecenteredness, and a state is a rational actor; 4. National morality is different from the universal moral. These assumptions consist of the theoretical cornerstone of realism. In these seemingly objective assumptions are absence of gender aspects, and females and femininity are belittled. Unscrambling these assumptions from a feminist perspective is the basic precondition for feminists to animadvert and deconstruct realism. Related Articles | Metrics
