A comparative study of social assistance systems in Macao and Hong Kong

This article compares social assistance systems in Macao and Hong Kong. It finds that Macao delivers a higher level of social assistance benefits, whereas Hong Kong has a larger group of social assistance beneficiaries. The Hong Kong Government spends a larger amount on social assistance provision and imposes tougher controls on the recipients, compared to Macao. The results of the comparison indicate that Macao and Hong Kong differ markedly in the type of productivist welfare regime they belong and challenge the assertion that the two welfare systems form a distinct welfare model.     

西藏产业互动的经济增长效应研究

西藏产业结构虽然呈现出了类似于欧美国家的"三二一"格局,但是由于产业互动水平较低,因此产业系统的产出效率较低,对经济增长的促进作用有限。西藏产业互动与经济增长之间存在着相关关系,但是产业互动程度较低,对促进区域经济增长贡献有限,与东部发达区域存在差距;另外,西藏产业和企业经济效益并不乐观,产业结构转换的产出能力与全国相比较低。因此,为了发挥比较优势,促进西藏经济持续增长,除了要注重调整产业结构的比例关系之外,更重要的是要以产业互动作为西藏产业发展的战略选择。     

为非公有制经济健康发展营造良好环境──关于加强非公有制经济宣传思想工作的思考

个体私营等非公有制经济要健康发展,必须有一个良好的环境,经过改革开放20年的努力,当前的非公有制经济发展环境已有极大的改善,但由于历史的原因,还存在种种不尽如人意的地方。为此,本文就如何加强非公有制经济宣传思想工作,为非公有制经济营造更好的发展环境,提出了若干见解。     

儒、释、道的自由观比较研究

自由是天赋人权。儒、释、道三家均有自己的自由观及其指导下的实践活动,认真批判总结三家自由观,取其精华弃其糟粕,不仅具有现实学术理论意义,也具有深远的历史借鉴意义。     

A review on Ecological Engineering based Engineering Management

Engineering achievements have improved the quality of human life, provided creature comforts, and expanded the human domain to unprecedented levels. When enjoying all these achievements, human beings are coming to realize that the more invasion of the nature, the more environmental problems. Under the context of sustainable development, it is certain that effective Engineering Management calls for an ecological concept. The basic claim of this paper is that Engineering Management should be based on Ecological Engineering, which is an essential requirement of effective Engineering Management. At the same time, Ecological Engineering shall serve as the base of Engineering Management, which is commanded by the characteristics of Ecological Engineering. To date, there are only scattered studies focused on Engineering Management using the ecological concept. Moreover, there is no systematic concept of Ecological Engineering based Engineering Management (EMEE). In this paper, a thorough review of EMEE is presented. Our goals are to clarify this concept, promote this promising thought, summarize past research, and identify issues for future research to create impacts on the practice of Engineering Management.

Working artefacts: ethnomethods of the prototype

This paper follows recent science studies in theorizing information technologies as socio-material configurations, aligned into more and less durable forms. The study of how new technologies emerge shifts, on this view, from a focus on invention to an interest in ongoing practices of assembly, demonstration, and performance. This view is developed in relation to the case of the 'prototype', an exploratory technology designed to effect alignment between the multiple interests and working practices of technology research and development, and sites of technologies-in-use. In so far as it is successful, the prototype works as an exemplary artefact that is at once intelligibly familiar to the actors involved, and recognizably new.     

Civil Society Research Funding from a Global Perspective: A Case for Redressing Bias,Asymmetry, and Bifurcation

This paper adopts a global perspective to review the current situation with respect to the systematic study of civil society. It locates the analysis in a geohistorical framework, arguing that, as a distinct area of scholarship, contemporary civil society research is a two-track post-Cold War phenomenon exhibiting major shortcomings. A new type of dedicated research financing and process of allocation could redress today's research limitations in ways that will beneficially cross-fertilize parallel approaches and epistemological traditions while increasing the spread of centers dedicated to such knowledge generation. The analysis leads to suggestions for a civil society research agenda and investment principles.
