City Problems in the View of Urban Political Economy

CHE Yu-ling，SONG Jie
(Suzhou University， School of Politics and Public Administration， Jiangsu Suzhou， 215006)

Abstract:Capitalism has been developing rapidly since its birth，and its inherent contradictions have followed.Capitalism has been looking for ways to alleviate and overcome its inherent contradictions，from Roosevelt’s New Deal， Fordism， and Keynesianism， constantly adjusting itself.After 1970， capitalism found a new way，which is urban space production.This approach has indeed effectively alleviated the fundamental contradiction of capitalism； at the same time， it has its own limitations， which has caused alienation between people and city， and has accumulated many problems， such as the spiritual dilemma of people， the lack of urban spatial justice，and the deterioration of the ecological environment etc.These problems are likely to trigger new crises.Contemporary Western Marxist scholars believe that the focus of revolutionizing contemporary dilemmas and crises and rebelling against capitalism is the power to control urban space， which emphasizes “city rights”.The future ideal social form that transcends capitalism will be completed in the city， so the construction of the city should follow new values different from the logic of capital.

Key words:Capitalism Crisis； Urban Space； City Rights； Marxism

Research on Rainer Forst’s Normative Theory of Toleration

JIANG Ying
(Shandong University，School of Foreign Languages and Literature， Jinan 250100)

Abstract:Forst’s theory of toleration proceeds from the general concept of toleration.He analyses three elements of“objection”“acceptance”“rejection” which constitute the concept of toleration； meanwhile， he also realizes that the concept itself consists of two limits and two paradoxes.In order to construct a normative theory of toleration，F(xiàn)orst believes that it is necessary to draw the‘limits of toleration’ in a substantive and normative way，and to resolve the paradoxes persuasively as well.He summarizes four conceptions of toleration in political discourse and holds the belief that the conception of toleration which is based on‘qualitative equality’ is superior to the others.During the course of demonstration， firstly， Forst makes use of the fundamental principle of the justification of justice-the criteria of reciprocity and generality-to distinct moral norms with categorical force from multiple ethical values；then he illustrates the limits of toleration in different contexts that justify toleration:the absolute compliance to moral norms and the tolerance of multiple ethical beliefs or practices according to the criteria of reciprocity and generality.Such toleration is both a demand of reason and a virtue of justice.At last，F(xiàn)orst resolves the paradoxes that the concept of toleration itself entails by using the respect conception of toleration which is based on the criteria of reciprocity and generality.

The Practical Logic and Reflections of Organization-derived Social Enterprises——A Case Study of Development of Changchun Xinyu Social Enterprise

CUI Yue-qin，JIN Lan-qing

Abstract:As an emerging carrier of social governance， social enterprises have developed rapidly in China，and have attracted a wide concern in the academic field.With its continuous development，three representative types of social enterprises are formulated， which are market-assisted ones， government-dominant ones and society-innovated ones， respectively.However， there actually exists a certain social enterprise type that derived from non-profit organizations，among which Changchun Xinyu Association is a typical example.Based on the long-term tracking and research，the results reveal that Xinyu Association has taken the characteristics of non-profit organization as the main body and the development of social enterprise as the branch when it transforms into a social enterprise.The combination of these two have complementary advantages and have created synergistic effects.However，this kind of derived social enterprise often takes the foundation and experience of non-profit organizations as its resources of development and follows their paths.Thus，social enterprises of this kind have greater dependence on the non-profit organization side.Therefore，it is necessary to carry out serious theoretical and practical thinking for the practical logic of the development of organization-derived social enterprises

Rule-Procedural Autonomy:the Governance Effect of the Rural Collective Assets Share Power Reform——Taking the Experimental Reform Area in Hubei-Anhui-Jiangxi as an Example

Abstract:The rural collective assets share power reform not only has brought about good property rights effect and economic effect， but also has triggered significant governance effect， which have solved the problem that rural villager autonomy cannot be effectively realized for more than 30 years.In the process of reform，the local government has formed a set of framework rules，execution rules and operation rules.Farmers promote reform and realize autonomy by discussing rules， formulating rules and implementing rules.At the same time， the promotion of reform has also created a series of procedures，constituting the basic framework and norms of effective autonomy.This autonomy with rules and procedures as its carrier and core has shaped a kind of a rule-procedural autonomy and promoted the effective realization of villager autonomy.The formation of rule-procedural autonomy is mainly determined by four factors:interest， complexity， right and compulsion.According to the different combination of rule and procedure，different shapes of autonomy can be formed.

Key words:Villager Autonomy；Rule-procedural Autonomy；Collective Assets Share Power Reform；Hubei-Anhui-Jiangxi Experimental Reform Area

The “ZTE Event” Sounds the Alarm for China’s Accession to the WTO Government Procurement Agreement

Abstract:Government procurement had played a key role in the original innovation and the formation of the hegemonic position of America’s numerous core technologies as computer， large aircraft， semiconductor chip，internet， etc.， and relevant industries.Nevertheless， the “ZTE event” exposed that， contrary to US practice，China has never applied government procurement measures to promote the development of core technologies as chip and operating system of our own.As a result，the United States has been strangling the lifeblood of China’s information industry as disclosed by the “ZTE event”.The shocking facts uncovered by the “ZTE event”are widespread in our country， which seriously warns China’s accession to the WTO government procurement agreement.Under the circumstances of most of our domestic high-end product market being monopolized by foreign products， the government procurement becomes the only way for our country to establish the “base areas”in the domestic market for our own core technologies and relevant high-end products trials and their growth.Undoubtedly，many factors reveal that conditions are remotely not ripe for our country to access the WTO government procurement agreement.Therefore，China should postpone the agenda of accessing the A-greement on Government Procurement； otherwise， it will not be conducive for China to implement the fundamental policy of“move Chinese industries up to the medium-high end of the global value chain” as proposed in the report at 19th CPC National Congress.
