物业运作：从国家中分离出来的新公共空间——国家权力过度化与社会权利不足之间的张力

This investigation report mainly displays a new public space of property management with the characteristics of civil society, by analyzing a typical case--Qing Shui Yuan. The new public space has already separated from the state and is managed by both the state and the society together. Position-exceeding power of the state and deficient position-stimulated rights of the society result in the tension between the state and the society. Position-exceeding power is a pivotal perspective to interpret the relation between the state and the society.Instead of paying excessive attention to the institutional construction of civil rights, we should focus on how social rights stimulated by institutions and laws are turned into reality.

改革开放30余年来,中国民间组织迅速崛起,并呈现出特殊的发展路径,具有复杂深刻的社会背景。数量巨大的民间组织不仅成为克服传统中国＂两极化＂关系模式和思维定式的重要力量,也在中国民主法治进程中承担着重要使命,形成了＂柔性＂的纵向权力分割分解机制、组织化和群体化的权利保护机制、自主平衡的民间秩序生成机制、立足＂草根＂的公民性塑造机制等。尽管我国的民间组织发展还存在一定的困境和问题,但是,其重要作用和功能却不可低估,其发展前景不可小觑。

SPECIAL ISSUE： COMMUNITY STUDIES AND SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION IN CHINA Introduction

The term ＂community＂ bears totally different meanings at different times in China.
In the era of the planned economy, social welfare, social services, and even political mobilization and social control, were largely the responsibilities of the danwei （work units） that were subordinate to the government in China. Every danwei, whether economic in nature （e.g., factories, shops and people＇s communes） or a public institution （e.g., schools, hospitals and nursing homes） had to provide its members with an economic livelihood, medical care, education, and an old-age pension, in addition to undertaking its designated business. This extended to members＇ dependent children, for whose medical insurance and other benefits the danwei was responsible. A danwei was even responsible for matters in its members＇ private life such as marriage and funerals and mediating family disputes, in addition to ideological control and political education. Such being the case, all members of society were directly and closely bound to their danwei in terms of interests. In other words, every member of society was a typical ＂＇danwei man.＂ It was very hard for neighborhoods to play any social, cultural, political or economic role and form any ＂community＂ in the real sense of the word. Therefore, the economic, political and social institutions of that era are now called ＂danwei-based institutions.＂     

Chinese Women''''s Studies against the Background of Globalization

The position of globalization in the Chinese social context is quite different from that which it holds in Western society and academic circles, where it is called into question and subject to criticism. In China, it is a concept with basically positive significance and is linked with the Chinese undertaking of going out into the world, as if serving as proof that China is being admitted by the outside world.

Abstract：

The historian’s morality and the impartiality in the writing of history are widely regarded as im-portant factors in the field of the historiography.Starting from the discussions about the difficulties of com-piling historiography,the scholars in Ming Dynasty have paid special attention to ＂Xinshu＂and gradually make a nomenclature of it in the field of the historical criticism.They also consider that the historical work should be endowed with the public benefit of specifying ＂Gongyi＂,while the historians should be endowed with the social responsibility of holding ＂Gongyi＂.These discussions have enriched the understanding of historiography in the ancient time to a certain extent,and have their significance to the society.Through an elaboration of the discussions of ＂Xinshu＂ and ＂Gongyi＂ of the scholars in Ming Dynasty,an evaluation of the achievement of these discussions in the field of the historical criticism will be made.     

The State and Farmers: Definition of Roles and Functions in the Supply of Public Goods

One of the major contradictions con- fronting Chinese rural areas today is the con- stant increase in farmers' individual needs and the equally rapid growth in their public needs on the one hand, and on the other the double shortage of private and public goods. As a low-income group, individual farmers bear too much of the burden of supplying public goods and have to put their limited funds into the production of public goods. As a result, not only have they not solved the problem of shortage of public goods,
