On the General Theory of State Governance——A New Paradigm to Explore the Study of World Politics (Comparative Politics) Yang Guang-bin 2017, 51 (1):  5-22.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (12756KB) ( )   The value of social science lies in its response and solutions to the times. There is an urgent need for the Comparative Political Science to find out the new theme and new paradigm to replace the old ones. In view of the failure of the transformation paradigm, namely the universality of “invalid democracy” after the “third wave of democratization”, the Western democracy also put forward a variety of governance theory. But these theories are aimed at serving the needs within the western countries rather than serving the actual needs of developing countries. This thesis emphasizes that, even in the era that “governance” is the political theme, the core of governance is still the issue of governance capacity, and the premise of understanding the theory of state governance capacity can not be separated from the theory of state power. The basic side of the state power and its inherent logical relations directly influence the rise and fall of the great powers, which is the clue of the “great history”. According to this, the state governance capacity is the ability to coordinate the relationship between state power, which is composed of “institutional absorptive capacity, institutional integration force and policy execution”. Different from the research paradigm of “creating problem” in the first 60 years of the Comparative Political Science, the pursuit of the theory of state governing ability is focused on “solving the problem ”. To study the world politics with the theory of national governance capacity we can find that different countries have their own advantages and disadvantages at different stages, and they are all faced with different levels of governance crisis. Therefore, there is no solution applicable to all countries. The theory of Chinese state governance capacity is based on the development of Chinese history, culture and politics. It has an academic style of Aristotle political science rather than a theory of supremacy of concept. Related Articles | Metrics

Historical Materialism and Contemporary Cultural Issues Ouyang Qian 2017, 51 (1):  39-46.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (5668KB) ( )   Historical materialism faces many challenges today. Among them the theory of cultural issues is particularly prominent. How to understand the nature and role of culture? How to deal with the cultural transformation of the developed industrial society? How to explain the “new social movement” caused by the “politics of recognition”? How to grasp the contradictions brought by the cultural globalization? Obviously there is no readymade answer to these questions in the classic writers. Therefore, we need to seek the corresponding thought reserves from the basic principles of historical materialism, expanding and deepening the theory connotation of economic base and superstructure, and respond to the cultural issues in the drastic social transformation in the contemporary society.

The Dual Criticism Implication of Marxs “Historical Method” Zhang Wu 2017, 51 (1):  47-54.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (5677KB) ( )   Marx elaborated the dual criticism implication of “Historical Method” in Economic Manuscript of 1857-1858. On the one hand, the historical methodis the criticism of abstract theories which should be researched in specific socialand historical development stage. On the other hand, the historical method is a critique of the capitalist society.  The social and historical roots of abstract theories can only be revealed through the study of the historical criticism of the capitalist society reality.This dimension of criticalcriticism causes the fundamental difference between Marxs historical method and other methods of social science. In Marxs historical method, the classical theories of historical materialism will be understood in new view, the rule of social and historical development will no longer be interpreted into a transcendental and trans-historical rule, and historical materialism will be no more comprehended as a rigid theorydogma but rather have critical and open theory characters.

The Heterogeneity, Reason and Countermeasure ofChinas Current Downward Economic Growth Rate——Based on the Accumulation of Social Structure Method Yang Xiao-yong, Gan Mei-xia 2017, 51 (1):  55-65.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (8434KB) ( )   The current research on the heterogeneity of the downward economic growth rate is insufficient and lack of the theoretical basis to set up an analytical framework in which the reasons of both supply side and the demand side are studied. Marxist theory of social structural accumulation provides solutions to these two problems. Drawing on this method, the thesis has distinguished the 1953-2013 downward economic growth rate in China into two parts: the downward economic growth rate in the reproduction cycle and the downward economic growth rate in the nonreproduction cycle. The thesis believes that the current downward economic growth rate in China belongs to the downward economic growth rate in the nonreproduction cycle . The thesis explores the institutional reasons leading to the current downward economic growth rate in China, and puts forward the policy suggestions for China to go out of the nonreproduction cycle.

Theoretical Basis of Chinese Soft Power Characteristics——“One Belt, One Road” and the Perspective of the International Normal Supply Li Xing1, Zhang Jiu-an2 2017, 51 (1):  82-90.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (6919KB) ( )   Against the background of Chinas “One Belt, One Road” strategy in connection with its rise as an international normprovider, this article offers a theoretical framework for conceptualizing “soft power with Chinese characteristics.” In this article, the Gramscian political theory and neoGramscian IR theory are applied to critically review Nyes soft power notion. It intends to treat soft power both as an important component of internal pattern of hegemony and as part of outward power expansion in shaping the world order. In addition, the application of the authors own “interdependent hegemony” theory aims to posit that hegemony, both hard and soft power, will be intertwined in an era of the great transformation of international relations and international political economy. The article concludes that if Chinas economic development remained to be successful in a long run, the external expansion of its economic powerespecially its overseas aid, investment and tradewould eventually make Chinese policies and practices become “normal”. As a result, the conventional notion of soft power would have to accommodate the “Chinese characteristics”. Related Articles | Metrics

The Research on Marxs Philosophy must Get Rid of the Plight of Fetishism Wang Xiao-sheng 2017, 51 (1):  97-104.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (5568KB) ( )   Fetishism attaches importance to the existence of entity but ignores the coditions of such existence. The theory of Marxism philosophy emphasizes the primary of material on the theory of existence, which also ignores the conditions of putting forward the primary of material. If the general materialism cannot get rid of the fetishism dilemma, idealism cannot get rid of the fetishism dilemma either. The practice of human transformation of nature has covered the original relationship between human beings and the world. Only by grasping the initial relationship between human beings and the world, can we construct the existence theory of Marxism. Lukacs and Adorno have made attempt in this regard and their attempt is worthy of our study. Related Articles | Metrics
