Teaching Insightfully, Thoroughly and Lively: Improving the Teaching Ability of Ideological and Political Theory Teachers in Colleges and Universities in the New Era Dong Jia 2022, 56 (5):  24-29.  Abstract ( )   PDF (4205KB) ( )   Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the CPC Central Committee, with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, has attached great importance to the development of ideological and political theory courses in colleges and universities from the strategic perspective of cultivating builders of and successors to the socialist cause, and put forward clear requirements for teachers to deliver ideological and political theory courses in an insightful, thorough and lively way. This paper argues that in order to make the ideological and political teaching have a strong appeal and attraction to students, teachers should focus on improving the teaching ability in the following three aspects: first, using academic politics to explain insightfully the teaching content concerning “what it is”; second, provide indepth investigation and skillful guidance to clarify the theoretical logic as regards “why it is”; and third, broadening the horizons and make alive the rational understanding regarding “how to perceive it” through multiple channels, so that students can listen to, remember, use well and spread out the ideological and political theories. It is to achieve the purpose of ideological and political teaching for educating people for the Party, cultivating talents for the country, and provide a more solid foundation and stronger support for the realization of the second centenary goal and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

The Philosophical Basis of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era Han Qingxiang 2022, 56 (5):  35-43.  Abstract ( )   PDF (7556KB) ( )   To understand and grasp the original contribution of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the most fundamental thing is to understand the philosophical underpinnings and the paradigms they are derived from, that is, the “systembased strategic dialectics”. This philosophical paradigm is an original contribution of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to Marxism, which is reflected in six aspects: (1) the governance of China with the central leadership of Xi Jinping fundamentally faces “philosophical issues”, which has the premise of making original philosophical contributions; (2) solving problems in the philosophical sense requires systembased strategic planning, thus forming a philosophical paradigm of “systembased strategic dialectics”; (3) systembased strategic dialectics has innovated and developed Marxs “dialectical philosophy”; (4) Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and its systembased strategic dialectics require the establishment of a new “philosophical thinking”; (5) Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and its systembased strategic dialectics provide “philosophical wisdom” for governance; and (6) Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era clearly demonstrates the “philosophical concept” of putting people first, which moves from the materialist logic to the peopleoriented one.  Related Articles | Metrics

Marx's Theory of Social Formation: Logical Exploration and Argument Evaluation Liu Zhaofeng 2022, 56 (5):  44-52.  Abstract ( )   PDF (6924KB) ( )   In order to grasp Marxs theory of social formation, we need to use a concrete historical way of thinking, the logic behind which is “rising from abstraction to concreteness” of “the society in generalthe social formationthe capitalist society”. When analyzing the capitalist society, Marx clearly distinguishes the material elements and social forms of the production process, reveals the fetishistic nature of capital, and highlights the historical temporalities of capital. The law of historical development is not a law external to human beings, but a law that can only exist in human activities. There is no fundamental conflict between the objectivity of the law of historical development and the subjectivity of human beings. To investigate the “naturalness” of social development, we need to make clear which is the “eternal inevitability” that runs throughout the development of human society and which is the “temporary inevitability” in some or a certain stage of historical development. The successive evolution of the theory of“five types of social formations” or “three types of social formations” is not a law of historical development revealed by Marx, but the concrete manifestation of it.

Needs and Subjectivity in the Context of Social Philosophy: Rousseau, Hegel and Marx Ren Shaoting 2022, 56 (5):  53-62.  Abstract ( )   PDF (7693KB) ( )   The expansion of needs and its relationship with subjectivity are important topics of critical theory in modern society. In the early ideological genealogy of social philosophy, Rousseau argues that the expansion of needs might diminish freedom and subjectivity. When it comes to Hegel, he points his criticism at the abstraction of labor as a means of satisfying needs and the alienation caused by money as a “pure symbol” of needs. In Marxs perspective, the expansion of needs is not associated with subjectivity, but is driven by the desire for capital proliferation. Furthermore, in his analysis of fetishism, which has a profound influence on Western Marxism, Marx makes intense criticism of the dichotomy between subjectivity and objectivity in the capitalist society. Rousseau, Hegel and Marx provide us with important theoretical implications for understanding and diagnosing the problems of modern society. Related Articles | Metrics

The Logic Behind and Regulatory Pathways of the Disorderly Expansion of Capital Yang Dong, Xu Xinyu 2022, 56 (5):  63-77.  Abstract ( )   PDF (12105KB) ( )   The disorderly expansion of capital has evolved into a brandnew monopoly model with the superposition of capital, data and traffic flow. The three behaviors, ie. creating structural competitive advantages, building a closed ecosystem and raising market entry barriers, are different from other behaviors designed to thwart competition, with significant characteristics of competition among traffic flows. They are the behavior mapping of the “centerperiphery” system of the digital platform ecology: capital continues to pour in the field of information infrastructure and accelerate the construction of digital essential facilities, and data traffic flows are gathered to form a central platform, through which a pincer attack is loosened against the competitors through diagonal merger; internal selfpreferences but external transaction restrictions lead to a “degradation” of the system structure from the platform to the pipeline, forming a monopoly system of traffic flows; capital solidifies the system with business models and legal regulations that do not conform to the data flow, which makes it difficult for latecomers to break through the data monopoly created by the superplatform through the firstmover advantage and data rules. The innovation highly dependent on data has become an oligopoly game of a few superplatforms. Based on the PDA paradigm of “platformdataalgorithm”, this paper puts forward three regulatory pathways: defining the structural platform from the perspective of the “relational and structural power” of Strange and introducing the principle of the open platform into the Antimonopoly Law; comprehensively transforming the SSNIP and SSNDQ methods tested by the hypothetical monopolist for the two types of platforms, by reforming the transmission mechanism of traffic flows among the center, subcenter, and periphery, since the price mechanism controlled by the circulation organization cannot fully reflect the market supply and demand; validating the data capture methods with two innovations in order to smooth the algorithmic evolution channel blocked by capital.

Connotation and Ideological Implications of “A Commonly Prosperous Society” Qiu Ji, Yang Xiuting 2022, 56 (5):  79-89.  Abstract ( )   PDF (8304KB) ( )   The vision of “a commonly prosperous society” adheres to the peoplecentered development philosophy, reflects the essential requirements of socialism, and embodies the characteristics of Chinesestyle modernization. It is a new form in the development of human civilization, with threedimensional and rich connotation. It is a common wealth society based on highquality economic development, in which the prosperity of both the country and the people is achieved. It is a harmonious society based on the premise of highquality development of society, promoted by comprehensive social progress and individual development. It is the continuation of the moderately prosperous society, with gradual stepbystep progress that combines static planning and dynamic development. The proposal and practice of “a commonly prosperous society” reflect the pursuit of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, embody the value goal of Marxism about the ideal society in the future, and it will further demonstrate the institutional superiority of socialism with Chinese characteristics,and bring broader prospects for realizing the“great harmony”of the world.

Basic Issues of the Cohesion of Ideological Consensus in the New Era Chen Na 2022, 56 (5):  90-98.  Abstract ( )   PDF (7638KB) ( )   Building a cohesion of ideological consensus as an important and urgent agenda in the new era is highlighted in the current contradiction between the “unbounded” ideological development of social members and the “bounded” requirement of rationality, revealing the opposition of “many and one” and “what it is and what it should be” in the ideological field. Theoretically, clarifying the basic issues of the cohesion of ideological consensus in the new era is the inherent requirement for this proposition to be developed and constructed into practice. The basic issues include: clarifying “what is ideological consensus and cohesion” regarding its ontological domain, “why the cohesion of ideological consensus” with respect to its value proposition, “whether ideological consensus can be cohesive” concerning its logical premise, “which ideological consensus to be agglomerated” associated with its core content, and “whose ideological consensus to be agglomerated” considering the objects of reference.  Related Articles | Metrics

Characteristics and Influences of Production Networks under the Conditions of Information Technology: A Political Economy Analysis Qin Zhen, Wang Shengsheng 2022, 56 (5):  99-110.  Abstract ( )   PDF (9894KB) ( )   The production network is a new production organization mode to meet the needs of monopoly capital proliferation. Relying on the revolution of information technology, centralized large enterprises have achieved decentralization and reorganization, generating a large number of small and mediumsized enterprises and individual workers and forming a relatively flat networked organizational structure. The paper argues that the decentralization of capital ownership in the production network has not negated the concentration of control rights, and the large enterprises that constitute key nodes in the network have improved their monopoly efficiency. Through the flexible employment mode, the subordination of labor to capital is strengthened, and the multiple contradictions in the reproduction process of capitalism, such as monopoly capital and small capital, capital and labor, accumulation and consumption, are further deepened. Meanwhile, the production network has promoted the improvement of the degree of socialization of production, and the historical limitations of capitalist production relations have been once again recounted. Socialism will gain new historical advantages to surpass capitalism through this organization mode. Related Articles | Metrics

A Theoretical Analysis of Multilateralism and the Crisis of Global Governance Xu Yanran, Cao Sibin 2022, 56 (5):  112-121.  Abstract ( )   PDF (7732KB) ( )   In recent years, the inheritance and development of the multilateralism theory in global governance have faced a number of predicaments, including the binary opposition in narratives, monopoly control by hegemony and reduced efficiency in addressing issues of global governance. In practice, multilateralism has been undermined by American hegemonism for a long time in the process of construction and evolution, resulting in new challenges in global governance left unsolved by the existing theory. After Biden takes office, the United States has practiced “pseudomultilateralism” more than the previous administrations with new and exclusive institutional balancing, differentiated ally responsibilities and multiple issue alliances, which has accelerated the fragmentation of global governance. Reform of global governance is at stake, and the theory of multilateralism also needs to be further improved. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has actively promoted and protected the multilateral rulebased order, which features openness, inclusiveness, universal benefits, balance and winwin situations. China is well positioned to provide unique and significant Chinese approach to steer multilateralism toward a community with a shared future for mankind. Related Articles | Metrics

Between Social Forces and Political Systems: Samuel P. Huntington on the Limit and Trend of American Political Polarization Hu Jinguang 2022, 56 (5):  122-130.  Abstract ( )   PDF (7292KB) ( )   Political polarization is not only a salient feature of American politics today, but also a phenomenon that has frequently recurred in the American history. The 20th century S&S period ( the era of sixes and sevens, also known as the S&S Years, from 1960 to 1975) is an important watershed in the history of American political polarization. Samuel P. Huntington believes that political polarization during this period is a vertical split of political ideas. The natural polarization is not a social divide between the left and the right, but a political divide between those in power and those in opposition. Therefore, Huntington does not show a pessimistic view of American political polarization, but perceives that the political consensus set the limit for political polarization. The United States has a relatively complex, adaptable, relatively autonomous and internally cohesive political system and a modern political party system in the form of a “twoparty system”, which can assimilate social forces and expand political participation. The polarization of social forces is gradually mitigated in the face of the highly developed political institutions and political systems. As the worlds most prestigious political scientist, Huntington develops a theoretical paradigm that has always been very explanatory, forwardlooking and instructive. His expositions on American political polarization will provide important implications for understanding and predicting the development of American political polarization. Related Articles | Metrics
