State‐led industrial development,structural transformation and elite‐led plunder: Angola (2002–2013) as a developmental state

From 2002 to 2013, Angola engaged in large‐scale state‐led reconstruction and development alongside an elite‐led appropriation and seizure of national assets. Until the oil price shock, Angola had been succeeding in promoting rapid economic growth, and possibly even significant social development, alongside a massive grab of wealth and power by local elites. Today, though an economic crisis has taken hold, frequent predictions of the country's imminent collapse have yet to be fulfilled. This article reviews the state's development planning and expenditure with a focus on public investment and industrial development to determine to what extent Angola during this period might be considered a developmental or petro‐developmental state. It is argued that, while more significant than generally thought, petro‐developmental outcomes were and are limited by the autocratic and neopatrimonial tendencies of the Angolan elite. Nevertheless, limited success with structural transformation may have lasting effects. Following its long civil war, the conditions existed for Angola to follow a new path of state‐led development. Though it may now be more difficult, structural transformation and economic diversification remain the only path to economic and social development.     

简论三代的史官、学校与历史教育

我国夏商西周三代时期,用文字记载的典册的不断出现,为历史教育提供了可资依据的教材;史官制度的逐步确立,巫史职责的逐渐分野,一方面使我国丰富而连续的历史记载不断出现,另一方面则使历史教育有了比较专职的历史教师;学校教育的产生,则使历史教育成为其中一项重要的内容。而且,"学在官府"、"官师合一"的教育体制,也使史官在学校中传授历史知识、进行历史教育成为一种经常性的活动。

三十年一场国企梦——从《乔厂长上任记》到《那儿》

从《乔厂长上任记》历经《烦恼人生》、《大厂》到《那儿》,完整地表现了一个国有企业从振兴到彻底衰败的轨迹,工业题材的创作也完成了从改革文学、新写实小说、现实主义冲击波到底层文学的演变,这其实也是一部当代思想史。在这一过程中,价值的转移,苦难的演变,都体现了作家们在不同的时代语境中对人的不断思考,因此,底层写作的意义不仅在于作家们对底层苦难的叙述,更在于作家们由此重新获得了批判社会现实的话语权。     

论马克思哲学“现实个人”理论及其当代审视

现实个人是马克思哲学的理论核心,依据社会形态理论其生成史可以阐发为三种形态：群体形态的个人,独立形态的个人,自由形态的个人,三种形态的历史演绎构成了现实个人发展的内在逻辑。当代中国正处于市场经济条件下,人表现为以物为基础的独立形态的个人,人的物化状态不可避免。物化状态的积极作用在于它是对群体形态个人的扬弃,对自由形态个人的基奠;其消极作用在于人以“物”而非“人”作为价值尺度,物质利益驱动使人对有限资源展开竞争而形成人际矛盾,而这一矛盾是引发社会种种不和谐现象的主要原因。因此,解决人际矛盾、实现入际和谐是构建和谐社会的根本着力点,其实现的根本途径在于民主、法治、道德的实现。     

从现代国家与社会关系看村民自治的未来走向

从国家与社会关系的角度来审视村民自治,村民自治是平衡农村社会与国家关系的有效形式;要实现国家与农村社会的良性互动,就要完善现有的乡政村治格局并使之日趋合理：扩大乡镇民主,软化乡镇权力;完善民主自治机制,提高村民自治能力;培育和发展乡村民间组织,提高农民组织化程度。     

Individual and institutional determinants of multidimensional poverty: A European comparison

In this article we evaluate to what extent between-country differences in the probability of being ‘multidimensional’ poor can be explained by a range of ‘domain-specific’ indicators of welfare regime arrangements. To this end, a so-called micro-macro model is estimated, testing the ‘independent’ effect of institutions, as opposed to alternative explanations such as between-country differences in population composition and economic affluence. Although we conclude that institutional arrangements do influence the risk of multidimensional poverty in the expected direction, we also find that bringing the ‘economy’ back into the analyses has a non-trivial impact. Our results point at several avenues for further discussion and research. First, although the more elaborate welfare regimes generally do a better job in preventing poverty, the level of transfers is not always ‘proportional’ to the general standard of living in these countries. Second, we only find partial confirmation for the often cited ‘negative’ impact of labour market flexibility and the related equality-jobs trade-off. While stricter employment regulations do reduce the poverty risk (be it only after controlling for economic affluence), flexibility in terms of the availability of fixed-term labour seems to be preferable to unemployment, even if at the individual level, labour market flexibility increases the likelihood of being poor quite severely.

Women Rule: Gendered Leadership and State Supreme Court Chief Justice Selection

ABSTRACT

While women are underrepresented in many political institutions and leadership positions, nearly half of state supreme court chief justices are women. Is there something about the role of state supreme court justice that facilitates the recruitment of women to this important political position? We examine whether the selection of a woman chief is driven by the court’s institutional need for women’s leadership style or simply the supply of qualified justices. We find that ideological diversity drives demand for a woman chief. A supply of experienced women justices also has a significant impact on likelihood of selection.
