I'm OK, You're (Not) OK: The Private Welfare State in the United States

The American welfare state has been premised on the mixture of substantial private, tax‐subsidized benefits rather than on more universalistic public benefits. That pattern is in some ways being undermined as private pension plans are increasingly going bankrupt and firms reduce the benefits they provide employees. On the other hand, however, the current Bush administration is attempting to enhance the private sector role by allowing individuals to invest at least a part of their social insurance contributions into private savings plans. These changes may in the end increase the role of the public sector as a regulator and underwriter at the same time that attempts are made to minimize public sector involvement.     

定增折价率监管的有效性研究

定向增发是上市公司重要的再融资工具,如何完善监管制度以保障定向增发市场平稳有序发展是全面深化改革和实现高质量发展的关键环节。结合定向增发合理折价率的决定机制及双边随机前沿模型,本文提出了有效识别“合理”与“非合理”折价的方法,并利用我国定向增发市场数据进行了实证分析。结果表明,折价率实施“九折原则”以来,我国定向增发中“折价不足” 发行比例远远高于 “过度折价”的比例,并且“过度溢价”增发会显著拉升股价实现利益输送。只强调限制折价比例的监管思路,既达不到有效抑制利益输送的目的,又会挫伤投资者参与定向增发投资的积极性。本文不仅对有关定向增发折价率的研究进行了有益拓展,而且为进一步优化调整定向增发折价监管方式提供了政策参考。     

扬弃私有制——对社会、社会伦理、社会主义概念的历史考察

“社会”、“社会伦理”、“社会主义”这些概念都是19世纪资本主义发展过程中的产物。这些概念在推进以扬弃私有制为目标的社会进步和指导社会革命中起着重要的作用。在中文的语境里,对社会、社会伦理的理解还没有清晰的界定,对社会主义的理解也还在不断根据实践的发展而予以检验和总结。在面临构建社会主义和谐社会的历史任务时,考察这几个概念的起源以及在历史过程中的发展变化,对于理解社会主义的含义应是扬弃私有制,而不只是简单地废除私有制具有重要意义。

论罗马法的复兴

罗马法由狭隘的城邦习惯法、市民法发展为万民法,成为第一个具有世界性质的法律制度,正是因为其包含着的有利于商品经济发展的法权关系符合了中世纪封建社会各国的需要,即它既适应了当时新兴市民等级发展资本主义经济的要求,又符合与这一等级结成联盟的君主专制的中央集权国家的需要,所以罗马法在中世纪中期随着资本主义经济的成长而趋于复兴。罗马法的复兴,使几乎所有的欧洲国家都受到了不同程度的影响,并使其法律制度进入了一个新的历史阶段。     

Globalization, de-industrialization and Hong Kong's private rental sector

A number of scholars have identified a changing role for private rental housing, as it becomes a more mainstream tenure to house the insecure rich and poor alike in globalizing cities. Hong Kong is an important global city and is experiencing rising rates of social polarization associated with globalization generally, its articulation with the Chinese economy specifically and the impact of the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997. Our empirical research suggests that Hong Kong's private rental sector has responded to and articulates with the city's specific globalization trajectory. It increasingly houses the highly paid, highly skilled but relatively insecure elite and the low paid, low skilled and very insecure underclass, for whom prospects of public housing or home ownership are diminishing. Private renters are younger, more mobile and house both top-end and bottom-end ethnic minorities. The traditional role of private renting and large scale obsolete inner-city housing stock, combined with the aggressive development of up-market and highly desirable private housing estates makes the sector particularly adept at meeting the needs of Hong Kong's hour glass shaped global society. We anticipate that the size of the private rental sector will increase, albeit from a low base and that its hour-glass shape will become more pronounced.     

Public relations in the United Arab Emirates: The emergence of a profession

This paper discusses the development of public relations in a fast growing emerging country, United Arab Emirates. The making of the public relations profession in UAE has been affected tremendously by the socio-economic, educational and cultural development of the country.

Journalism and Mass Communication departments launched PR programs to meet the growing needs of the job market with qualified practitioners. International public relations agencies chose Dubai as a base for their activities in the UAE and the region. The future of public relations in the UAE is very promising. Although it is facing some problems, public relations is the job of the future.

陕西长篇小说难于结缘影视剧的原因分析——兼谈司南长篇小说《民国银号》所具备的电视剧创作因素

陕西号称文学大省,长篇小说创作曾出现过极度繁荣的景象。近30多年来长篇小说的创作出版量堪称丰富,在读者界、批评界产生较为广泛影响的作品也有一些。遗憾的是,陕西长篇小说走向电影和电视剧的作品却屈指可数。影视剧的商业属性和国家相关政策特殊规定,要求长篇小说从主题、人物和情节必须具备符合改编影视剧的基本要素。陕西长篇小说与影视剧创作难于结缘的最主要原因,就是创作者普遍缺乏发现挖掘一个具有影视商业价值同时有深刻主题的能力,在人物创造与整体结构方面也普遍存在松散问题。司南创作的长篇小说《民国银号》以独特罕见的视角为读者完整打开了清末至建国前民间金融家生存发展的这样一个世界,人物命运紧贴复杂动荡的政治时局而变迁沉浮,明显具备改编为一部优秀电视剧的要素。
