A Study of the grammatical types of Han-Tibet language family Xing HUANG 2007, 39 (5):  1-12.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2007.05.001 Abstract ( 1889 )   HTML ( 3 )   Save The languages in the Han- Tibet language family have been classified according to the criteria of linguistic typology, but in this effort the role of grammatical types has not been fully acknowledged. The author challenges the conventional understanding that function word and word order are the main grammatical means of Han - Tibet languages. He examines three open notional words, i. e., nouns, verbs and adjectives, and concludes that Han - Tibet languages fall under the following two grammatical types: the synthetic - cohesive language and the analytic - integrative language.

The political inclinations of the superior noblemen in the transitional period between Jin and Song Dynasties Lei LI 2007, 39 (5):  61-66.  Abstract ( 2077 )   HTML ( 1 )   Save The paper analyses the inclinations of the superior noblemen in the period of later Jin and early Song dynasties.The establishment of Liu Yu's regime was a key event.Before 412 A.D., the superior noblemen acted according to the ideal of aristocratic politics.In the struggle between Liu Yu and Liu Yi, the superior noblemen, guided by their leader Xie Hun, tried to restore their governance by supporting Liu Yi who seemed likely to stand on their Side.After 412 A.D., the superior noblemen accepted Liu Yu's regime.On the one hand, they showed their loyalty to Liu Yu, which was inconsistent with their spiritual characteristics.One the other hand, the superior noblemen were also involved in the struggle for power, which weakened their ability to control politics.The result was that their rule was made impossible.

On the Historical Changes of the Theory of Legitimacy Yu-qing HAO 2007, 39 (5):  67-74，79.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2007.05.011 Abstract ( 2517 )   HTML ( 2 )   Save Legitimacy is an important concept in political theory, and the theory of legitimacy is a significant component of political theory.Although it was during the modern times that the theory of legitimacy was explicitly put forward and studied systemically, people had begun to think about it ever since there was state or political society in human history.The concept of legitimacy is indispensably connected with a state's political life and the theory of legitimacy discusses the political phenomenon of the rise and fall of a state's regime.Although there were differences in the theory of legitimacy between ancient political thinkers and those after the Renaissance, they generally followed the tradition of rational constructivism.After the 19th century, political thinkers shifted from rational constructivism to empiricism in their inquiry into the theory of legitimacy.In contemporary studies, however, rational constructivism and empiricism are combined together.

Reasonableness and Toleration Shu-hui LIU 2007, 39 (5):  75-79.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2007.05.012 Abstract ( 2179 )   HTML ( 3 )   Save In his Political Liberalism, Rawls argues for a reasonable idea of toleration in response to the fact of reasonable pluralism in modern democratic society.The fact of reasonable pluralism is the subjective circumstance of toleration, while reasonableness is the basis of toleration.Reasonableness has two aspects: 1) the willingness to propose and abide by fair terms of cooperation, given the assurance that others will likewise do so; 2) the willingness to recognize the burdens of judgment and to accept their consequences.The burdens of judgment are the root of reasonable disagreement.It is typical of the exercise of a common human reason in the condition of freedom.As a reasonable person, one recognizes and is willing to bear the consequences of the burdens of judgment.One also recognizes that it is unreasonable to impose one's own conception of the good on the others, hence the commitment to toleration.The author also points out the limitations of Rawls' idea of toleration.

Globalization, New International Division of Labor and the Emergence of Global Cities Jia YU, Jin-hong DING 2007, 39 (5):  98-104.  Abstract ( 2718 )   HTML ( 9 )   Save In an era of globalization, the distribution and composition of the world economy has witnessed profound changes.In particular, the later 20th Century witnessed a transition from Fordism to flexible accumulation.The new experience of time-space compression, appearing along with this transition, reflects a more sensitive orientation of capital.The new international division of labor is, by nature, an attempt of multi-national corporations to expand their internal division of labor to developing countries by virtue of their capital advantages, while foreign direct investment is a major means to realize this strategic goal and the allocation of production.Since the 1980s, foreign direct investment has largely concentrated on the service industry, while the financial industry and advanced producer services tend to converge in the world major cities, which has given rise to global cities (or called world cities).In this process, global cities have gradually become the dominating playing fields of the activities of the world economy, while the strengths of nation-states have been weakened.However, the complicated dynamics between the two is by no means as simple as it appears to be, leaving much to be explored.
