中国公民社会成长中的若干问题

处于现代化纵深发展的中国社会,正在经历着方向相反的两种变化趋势,一种是向下的变化即社会的衰败,另一种是向上的变化即中国公民社会的发展。只有中国公民社会充分发展了,社会才能获得足以克服衰败的巨大力量。中国公民社会的产生和发展是在市场经济基础上社会发展的必然趋势;人文主义的启蒙和人性的解放是公民社会生长的精神支柱;志愿者行动对公民社会具有重要意义;公益慈善是公民社会人际关系的基本纽带。中国公民社会的建设在现有的政治体制下,还要走很长的路,还会遇到许多困难和曲折,需要我们坚持不懈地共同努力,才能把它不断推向前进。     

经济史视角下的清末民初官方邮局与民信局之争

官方邮局与民信局为争夺邮政市场,在资费与业务等领域展开激烈竞争。为适应形势变化,民信局开始利用新式交通工具发展业务。民信局虽然通过请愿、走私等形式规避官邮控制,但还是走向衰落。民信局与官方邮局的竞争促使官方邮局更趋商业化。民信局积极利用轮船等新式交通工具,而大清邮局则积极学习民信局优点,拓展业务范围。     

公民社会：一个概念的历史考察

纵观西方“公民社会”概念的历史演变过程，可以发现其理论内涵先后发生了三次重大的转变。在古代，公民社会是一个与自然状态相对应的概念，但到了近代，西方思想家开始提出一种建立在国家和社会二分法基础上的公民社会观，而在现代，人们又开始用国家-市场-社会三分法来代替国家和社会二分法，并在此基础上重新界定了公民社会的内涵。

论市场经济转型中的政府职能转变

在中国市场经济转型过程中，如何正确认识处理市场与政府关系、促进政府职能转变一直是困扰我们的关键问题。文章认为，当今的中国社会仍处在如何从早先极端政治化的“全能国家”与“全能政府”中“侧生”出一个市场经济条件下相对独立的“非政治化”领域的阶段，即由改革前的计划经济体制与无所不包的“全能国家”、“全能政府”为搞活经济不断让利放权、自主限权，收缩权力触角并让渡和创造出越来越多的公民个人世俗活动空间。只有逐步摒弃并祛除由来已久的“人治”和“官本位”传统，依靠制度法治建设压缩政府权限，维持把握市场与政府行为的边界，中国市场经济才有可能稳定健康地发展下去。     

Patterns of Informal Help and Caregiving in Sweden: A Thirteen-Year Perspective

This article analyses informal help and caregiving in Sweden with a focus on the scope and trends of change over time. The discussion is based on the results of three national surveys and of one survey conducted in the county of Stockholm. The results indicated that informal help and caregiving was common throughout the period under study. In the 1990s, the figures were fairly stable, while from the late 1990s to 2005 there seems to have been a dramatic increase in the prevalence of such support. Two interpretative perspectives are used to discuss this pattern. One locates its point of departure in recent welfare state changes and in the substitution argument, according to which cuts in welfare services put more pressure on people to provide informal help and care. The second perspective relates to the present debate on civil society and to its possible role in contemporary society. According to the civil society perspective, an increase in the prevalence of informal help and caregiving might be interpreted as an expression of growing civic involvement 'in its own right', without a straightforward and simple relationship to changes in the welfare state. It is argued in the article that the two frames of interpretation should not be viewed as mutually exclusive, but rather that they represent two partly complementary approaches to the understanding of the complex dynamics of unpaid work in contemporary Swedish society.     

论公民社会与社会工作——公民社会视角下的中国社会工作

回顾改革开放以来的几十年,中国正在由一个高度政治化的社会向一个多元化的公民社会演变,政府职能开始转变,民间社会从政治权力中逐渐分离出来,并显示了巨大的能量。大政府、小社会的政治格局正在发生变化,社会工作在这一背景下也在悄悄的改变。本文就是具体论述在这一转变之后,社会工作和公民社会间的关系。首先对公民社会中的社会工作进行宏观考察,分析公民社会下社会工作、国家权力和公民三者之间的关系。公民社会与社会工作之间存在互动的关系。两者之间相互影响,相互作用。社会工作对公民社会的作用有:社会工作为公民提供帮助,救助公民于危难之时;社会工作帮助公民解困;社会工作帮助公民更好地发展。公民社会对社会工作的作用:公民社会监督社会工作组织;公民社会监督和保护社会工作者;公民社会在经济上支持社会工作。     

证据损害理论：潜伏性毒物致害侵权诉讼中的可选择理论

在潜伏性毒物致害侵权诉讼中,由于经历时间久远、证据缺失以及造成损害结果的事实不确定等因素,对诉讼裁判的准确性造成极大困难。不确定性的存在以及后来法庭无法对事实进行裁定,有时是由于当事人的不当行为所致。这些不当行为人才应该对案件事实的不确定性以及相应的致错风险承担责任。是否应该让这些当事人承担这种证据损害的责任、其法律标准应该如何设置以及对于那些遭受证据损害者法律应该给予他们何种救济都是这种特殊侵权诉讼中可选择理论———证据损害理论所要探讨的重大议题。     

Harnessing civil society's knowledge for development policy: Potential and challenges for the Republic of Yemen

This exploratory case study investigated Yemeni civil society actors’ actual and potential contribution to policy‐making, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, in the sectors prioritized in Yemen's national development strategy. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted in Sana'a between January and July 2015 with policy‐makers, researchers from academic institutions and civil society organizations. More specifically, this article discusses the role that YPRIs play in the public policy landscape of Yemen; the challenges they face in their interaction with policy‐makers; the opportunities they represent for policy actors in Yemen; and the factors enabling and limiting their influence, communication, inclusiveness and capacity. The authors conclude by contextualizing their findings within the ongoing conflict and drawing lessons for post‐war policy‐making in Yemen.
