The Legal Regulation of Irrational Elements in the Operations of Boards of Directors

The operating processes of boards of directors are delicate and complex, so corporate legislation cannot simply equate board structure law with board governance law. It is therefore necessary to start from China’s actual conditions and grasp the operating processes of Chinese boards with a sober appreciation of the irrational elements in their operating mechanisms. Board governance has entered a new stage of institutionalization, and the law should shift from its emphasis on structure to give equal attention to structure and process in optimizing institutional structure. In the construction of board operating mechanisms, we should treat differently such “living laws” as customs, experiences and traditions, give full play to the functionality of boards’ strategic choices, and provide legal regulation of irrational elements, so as to distinguish between different roles, develop consensus, select strong points and improve efficiency. We should build control over board operational procedures, improve the system of functional allocation, correct assessment mechanisms, develop a mechanism for judicial scrutiny of the affective relationships in society and curb such behavioral tendencies as relational identity, structural bias and group polarization, with a view to controlling such “living laws” within the framework of the basic values and principles of board governance.     

投资东盟的“国家风险”识别因素分析——基于桂籍华商的调查

桂籍华商与东盟各国政治、经济、文化往来交流频繁,对于研究投资东盟的国家风险因素更具识别价值.文章通过对桂籍海外华商东盟投资国家风险识别的因素进行问卷调查及分析,结果显示:海外投资的国家风险识别因素主要涉及政治、经济、文化与事件特征等四大类因素影响.同时,桂籍华商与专家学者在东盟投资国家风险识别因素的认定上存在较大差异.积极利用“21世纪海上丝绸之路”建设拓展桂籍华商对东盟投资的国家风险识别能力,建立桂籍华商东盟投资国家风险的防控机制,完善桂籍华商相关组织机构,有利于更好地防范和应对国家风险.     

t-Type corrected-loss estimation for error-in-variable model

In this article, we consider a linear model in which the covariates are measured with errors. We propose a t-type corrected-loss estimation of the covariate effect, when the measurement error follows the Laplace distribution. The proposed estimator is asymptotically normal. In practical studies, some outliers that diminish the robustness of the estimation occur. Simulation studies show that the estimators are resistant to vertical outliers and an application of 6-minute walk test is presented to show that the proposed method performs well.     

Racial/Ethnic Minority Vocational Research Trends: An 11‐Year Update

This study extends Flores et al.'s ( 2006 ) 36‐year analysis of racial/ethnic minority (REM) career research to identify recent trends in choice of topics and leading individual and institutional contributors. The authors identified 166 articles on REM career research published from 2005 to 2015 in the Journal of Vocational Behavior, The Career Development Quarterly, the Journal of Career Assessment, and the Journal of Career Development. Of these studies, 92% were empirical, with more than three quarters of these using quantitative rather than qualitative methodology. Most frequently, the empirical studies (n = 153) were based on samples of high school (30.7%) or undergraduate (34.6%) students. The authors discuss the implications of their findings and suggest ways to expand REM career research in the future.     

中国史学史研究的国际视野

乔治忠认为,中国史学史学科体系的建设具有不同的构成层次,界定其学术任务和研究内容,展现学科性质的板块式逻辑结构,明晰学术研究的切入点,是独立学科地位能够成立的基础;探研中国传统史学发展的主导线索,划分中国史学的发展阶段,是在深入研究条件下的整体性把握。罗炳良认为,中国史学史的学科体系渐臻成熟,中国史学史研究也应当拓宽学术领域,促进史学史的内涵和体系不断深入和完善;要实现这个目标,至关重要的是加强史学思潮和史学批评范畴两个领域的研究。钱茂伟认为,需要用新的视角来研究史学史,一是用史学范型观照传统史学的发展历程,二是用国家与社会关系视角观照史学的发展历程;特别要重视研究民间史学,注重小历史的书写研究。朱政惠认为,中国史学史研究要放到国际中国史学史、东西方史学研究和交流的大环境中考察,从历史的纵向考察和横向的比较中探寻中国史学史研究的新方向。     

道德、政治与历史——康德“永久和平论”中的理论难题及其解决

康德的永久和平论是其最富创见和最重要的政治学说,也是当今学术界讨论的焦点问题之一。就康德自身来说,其理论建构中既不存在所谓思想的转变,即从早期强制性的"世界共和国"到晚期"自愿的国家联盟"的转变,也不应因为"自愿的国家联盟"在现实事务中缺乏有效性就说它违背了康德自身的原则。实际上,康德是一贯的和真诚的,"世界共和国"与"自愿的国家联盟"的复杂关系的实质是道德与政治的复杂关系。康德是以历史的目的论理解来解决这一难题的,虽然其历史主义的解决方案并未贯彻到底,其自身却不失为一条颇具启发性的理论思路,需要我们深入挖掘。     

当代中国公共文化服务均等化的发展之道

公共文化服务作为政府面向文化民生的责任担当,其内容包括为公民提供基本的公共文化产品和服务,保障公民基本文化权利。公民文化权利的道德属性要求每一个社会个体都有权并平等地享有各种公共文化服务,因而,作为公民文化权利实践平台的公共文化服务体系必须不偏不倚地为每一个公民提供均等化的服务和产品。就当代中国而言,公共文化服务均等化的发展之路是在面临各种非均等化现状基础上推进的,其发展逻辑具有中国特色。本文依此逻辑,对当今中国公共文化服务均等化发展现状进行了深入的分析,在此基础上提出了推进公共文化服务均等化的路径选择。

于阗国王李圣天事迹新证

前人在讨论于阗年代或王统世系时,根据中原正史记载和敦煌莫高窟画像与题名,对活跃于公元10世纪的于阗国王李圣天的事迹渐次有所表彰,但缺少系统和整体的认识。本文拟在前人研究的基础上,结合我们最新的研究心得,大体按照时间顺序,对李圣天一生的事迹做一个总体的考察,包括其名字、称号、即位年代和所用年号、与敦煌的交往与和亲关系,遣使后晋与受封"大宝"等,希望大致描绘出他的历史全貌。
