从结构化思维到整体化思维——基于生态马克思主义的中国社会发展思考

生态马克思主义以生态学与社会发展相结合的方法,批判现代资本主义社会中经济理性、人性异化,将社会发展的前景寄予"生态"的追寻之中。生态马克思主义一方面批判西方传统哲学的结构化思维方式,认为结构化思维促成了现代资本主义经济的偏执发展,弱化了社会其它层面的应有发展;一方面倡导生态马克思主义的整体化思维方式,提出建立整体化社会发展的可能路径,要求人与自然、人与社会的整体性的相互交织的共同发展。整体化思维与整体性发展的"生态式"思考,为当今中国的社会发展提供了可参考的视角,为"五位一体"的生态文明建设提供了可借鉴的路径。     

论科学发展观与我国生态经济学的发展

在分析生态经济学理论优势的基础上,提出一个人口、生产和消费与生态环境关系的研究框架。研究重点主要是在短期内从生产的角度进行生态补偿研究,而长期必须从消费偏好的角度进行研究。在研究方法上,应该借鉴条件价值法、生态足迹和物质流会计、新制度经济学等方法。这样才能使生态经济学走出乌托邦式的哲学范式,接近公众从而找到其动力源泉。     

政府间与非政府间国际组织在全球环境治理中的有效性评估

全球环境治理是当今国际社会的重要议题,其治理主体呈现多元化趋势,治理模式也由原有的国家中心治理模式向有限治理模式、网络治理模式发展,呈现多方向的新变化。除国家政府之外,就国际组织而言可分成政府间国际组织(IGO)与非政府间国际组织(INGO)两种。文章将探究在全球环境治理问题上是否政府间国际组织可以替代非政府组织的作用,并以绿色和平与联合国环境规划署两大组织为例,从国际社会对全球环境治理体制的功能需求方面进行案例对比分析与治理有效性的评估。     

Developing spatial inequalities in carbon appropriation: A sociological analysis of changing local emissions across the United States

This study examines an overlooked dynamic in sociological research on greenhouse gas emissions: how local areas appropriate the global carbon cycle for use and exchange purposes as they develop. Drawing on theories of place and space, we hypothesize that development differentially drives and spatially decouples use- and exchange-oriented emissions at the local level. To test our hypotheses, we integrate longitudinal, county-level data on residential and industrial emissions from the Vulcan Project with demographic, economic and environmental data from the U.S. Census Bureau and National Land Change Database. Results from spatial regression models with two-way fixed-effects indicate that alongside innovations and efficiencies capable of reducing environmentally harmful effects of development comes a spatial disarticulation between carbon-intensive production and consumption within as well as across societies. Implications for existing theory, methods and policy are discussed.     

Ecological modernisation and discourses on rural non-wood bioenergy production in Finland from 1980 to 2005

Rural bioenergy production is currently a much debated question worldwide. It is closely connected to questions of environmental protection and rural development in both developing and industrial world. In Finland, rural bioenergy production has traditionally meant the production of wood fuels for heating purposes. The utilisation of forest biomasses is undiminished even today, and other biomasses are scarcely used for energy production. The purpose of this article is to discuss the possibility of widening the bioenergy production palette to include biomasses other than forest-based woody ones. This matter is approached from an environmental aspect using the concept of ecological modernisation. Empirical data is collected from two Finnish rural periodicals. The central analytical tool used in the analysis is discourse analysis. Four different periods of discursive variety, based on the contents of the analysed articles, could be identified from the data. In the first periods bioenergy talk was expert-driven and questions on non-wood bioenergy were dealt with varyingly. During the last period, a broad interest in rural bioenergy production evolved and more recognition was given to farmers' role as real energy producers. This raises hopes for a better future for rural non-wood bioenergy production in Finland.     

From the Heart of the Middle East, the Energy of the Future: North Adriatic LNG Terminal

Petroleum is still our most important energy source and it will certainly remain that way for a long time to come. Moreover, an end of oil use is not foreseeable at the present. However, reserves are declining. Liquefied natural gas (LNG), on the other hand, is available in abundant quantities. Nevertheless, the use of LNG is useful to solve a significant problem: the LNG power stations produce much lower CO₂ emissions than petroleum. In fact, an 80% carbon dioxide reduction should be possible, as several companies are currently working on cleaner power stations, such as the LNG ones. Alternative energies are often not used enough as sources of energy. It is therefore all the more important that energy companies put a great deal of effort into supporting sustainable energy and developing cleaner technology, in order to make people less dependent on power from petroleum.      

论西方现代生态伦理学的"东方转向"

西方现代生态伦理学的基本思想全然不同于传统伦理观,其吸收、借鉴东方传统文化中丰富的生态智慧,呈现出“东方转向”的趋势。这种“东方转向”是西方现代生态伦理学对造成现代生态危机的西方文化传统的批判否定之后所做的文化选择和价值转换,是对东方传统文化的丰富意蕴和价值的再发现。但它在方法论和价值取向上也存在意识决定论、以道德话语代替制度变革等局限性。所有这些都值得我们对中西文化的互动、传统与现代的撞击做深入的思考。

左权县发展生态庄园经济的实践与思考

在推进城镇化的过程中,左权县依托移民搬迁后遗留下来的旧村旧址、耕地、＂四荒＂等资源,以多元化方式筹集社会资金,以租赁、购买土地使用权等形式集中一定规模的土地,以市场为导向,以科技为支撑,以经济效益为中心,以建设生态文明为目标,创造性地实施了生态庄园经济开发,取得了明显的经济效益、社会效益和生态效益,被上级领导和专家学者誉为山区县份发展现代农业、推进城乡一体化的创新之举。目前已在山西省59个山区县推广。
