论加强社会领域地方立法

社会领域立法和社会法是不同语境下的两个概念。要在和谐社会建设这个大战略背景中认识＂社会领域立法＂,在中国特色社会主义法律体系的建设进程中认识社会领域立法,在与＂社会法＂比较中认识社会领域立法。加强社会领域立法离不开政府积极作为,这是由＂社会权＂是积极人权决定的。加强社会领域立法需要利益矫正和财政支持,这是由社会领域立法追求＂矫正公平＂的价值理念决定的。地方立法工作者要加强为民立法的责任意识,尽快完善社会建设立法框架并形成特色。     

Creative industries as a globally contestable policy field

The development of the creative industries “proposition” has caused a great deal of controversy. Even as it has been examined and adopted in several, quite diverse, jurisdictions as a policy language seeking to respond to both creative production and consumption in new economic conditions, it is subject to at times withering critique from within academic media, cultural and communication studies. It is held to promote a simplistic narrative of the merging of culture and economics and represents incoherent policy; the data sources are suspect and underdeveloped; there is a utopianization of “creative” labor; and a benign globalist narrative of the adoption of the idea. This article looks at some of these critiques of creative industries idea and argues against them.     

Do developing economies require creative industries? Some old theory about new China

This paper argues that media and communications theory, as with cultural and creative industries analysis, can benefit from a deeper understanding of economic growth theory. Economic growth theory is elucidated in the context of both cultural and media studies and with respect to modern Chinese economic development. Economic growth is a complex evolutionary process that is tightly integrated with socio‐cultural and political processes. This paper seeks to explore this mechanism and to advance cultural theory from an erstwhile political‐economy perspective to one centred about the co‐evolutionary dynamics of economic and socio‐political systems. A generic model is presented in which economic and social systems co‐evolve through the origination, adoption and retention of new ideas, and in which the creative industries are a key part of this process. The paper concludes that digital media capabilities are a primary source of economic development.     

赶超战略的起源：殖民、制度与威权体制

第二次世界大战以后,发展中国家普遍采取了优先发展重工业的经济发展战略。有别于传统的“意识形态说”和“国际价格波动说”。一个经济体的被殖民历史以及独立后的威权体制才是决定赶超战略实施的主要原因,其中威权体制具有决定作用。一方面,公共资源由少数政治精英掌握提高了赶超战略的可行性;另一方面,威权体制下的官员激励机制难以确保经济信息的有效传达,这进一步造成了赶超战略的持续。实证研究发现,政治体制的威权程度越高,则该经济体推行赶超战略的可能性越大,而且在拥有殖民经历的经济体样本中,该效应更为明显。     

Theorizing postfeminist communities: How gender‐inclusive meetups address gender inequity in high‐tech industries

Through a qualitative analysis of gender‐inclusive meetup groups in the US technology sector, this article offers a theory of postfeminist communities to identify how community organizing can take a postfeminist turn. Gender‐inclusive meetups are public, often free groups or organizations where participants have access to training, mentorship and support. Groups import postfeminist values of choice, empowerment, individualism and entrepreneurship into their community organizing efforts to address workplace gender inequities. Groups employ three strategies to improve the status of women and non‐binary people in the tech industry: (i) organizing a supportive community rooted in professionalism and entrepreneurialism; (ii) offering skills development in a safe environment; and (iii) training participants on how to take individual action against discrimination. While postfeminist communities are able to successfully cultivate supportive groups of participants who organize outside of the workplace, strategies focused on individual‐level changes ultimately do little to disrupt organization‐level gender inequities.

FROM CREATIVE TO CULTURAL INDUSTRIES

In response to Daniel Mato's essay, this article argues against the concept of the creative industries and for a capacious understanding of culture to redefine the culture industries     

基于支持向量机的新经济增长点选择研究

针对现阶段新经济增长点选择模型无法区分“已有的”增长点与“新的”增长点的问题,使用支持向量机挖掘新经济增长点的潜在性.研究显示:陕西省2010年38个工业行业可划分为“新经济增长点”与“非新经济增长点”两类,新经济增长点一类中前十位行业与陕西省“十二五”规划中的文化产业、高新技术产业、新能源产业发展相一致,可见支持向量机在新经济增长点选择中的可行性和可靠性.     

Leading Indicators for the Service Sector

Since the service sector currently accounts for a large and growing share of U.S. economic activity, we have undertaken to develop indicators that throw light on its current status and future prospects. A composite coincident index of aggregate economic activity in the service sector is constructed, and a growth-cycle chronology is identified based on growth rates in this index and in its components. Then several macroeconomic leading indicators of service are identified, and from them a composite leading index is constructed. The growth rate in this index is found to give advance warnings of major swings in the growth of the service sector.     

考虑环境因素的陕西省制造业绩效研究

在评价制造业绩效时,环境因素是一个要考虑的影响因子。基于方向性环境距离函数,选取陕西省不同要素密集行业2005—2011年数据,比较了考虑环境因素和不考虑环境因素两种情形下的陕西省制造业绩效。研究发现,考虑CO2排放后制造业在生产前沿上的行业数目减少,陕西省制造业的整体绩效不高且规模收益总体上呈递减趋势;技术密集型制造业的平均绩效最高,主要是技术进步较快所致,劳动密集型行业绩效主要依赖规模效率变化的推动,而资本密集型行业绩效的追赶效应最为明显;大多数劳动、资本密集型行业表现出技术退步趋势,前沿面移动效应不明显,企业管理水平不高,投入结构有待优化,技术进步缓慢。针对研究结果最后提出了相应的对策建议。
