The Economic Analysis Underlying the 'Third Way'

In this article we unpack the ‘black box’ of carbon offsetting through a critical examination of the technologies and techniques that create carbon credits. Drawing on empirical research of compliance (Clean Development Mechanism) and voluntary carbon offset markets, we highlight the diversity of technologies, techniques and devices involved in carbon offsetting, ranging from refrigerant plants to systems of calculation and audit. We suggest that polarised debates for and against offsetting do not adequately reflect the considerable variations between types of offset project and governance practices in the compliance and voluntary offset markets. Using conceptual insights from governmentality theory and science and technology studies we assess the tensions in making standard, fungible carbon credits. In conclusion, we suggest attention to the technologies and materiality of carbon offsetting allows a fresh perspective on somewhat entrenched debates about the advantages and disadvantages of offsetting.

论学术文献的转摘率与引用率

从学术研究的角度来看,转摘率的高低和引用率的高低是评价学术文献在学术界影响大小的基本标准。从学术发展史来看,学术文献的引用率相对于转搞率来说,具有更加重要的意义。由于种种原因,我国文科学报存在着重转摘率、经引用率的突出问题。为了规范学术研究,合理评价学术文献,必须正确认识学术文献的转摘丰和引用率,并实行相应的有效措施。这屯是文科学报成为社会公认的第一流学术期刊的基础性工作。     

论高校文科学报的选题策划

An Analysis of Standards‐based Regulation in the EU Organic Sector, 1991–2007

Against the background of a discussion of recent analyses of capitalist subsumption of agriculture and of neo‐liberalism, the paper uses a ‘liberal governmentality’ framework to trace the development of the EU Regulation on organic agriculture from its adoption in 1991 to its recent repeal and replacement in 2007. The central argument is that regulatory development took the form of a cycle of elaboration, tightening, increasing deviation and finally a ‘return to principles’ in order to reduce deviation. At different stages in this cycle, different groups of ‘stakeholders’, including experts, were influential. Likewise, different forms of expertise became dominant or were sidelined. Meanwhile, ‘capital’ in its different incarnations remained marginal throughout. The paper leaves open the questions of the generalizability of this analysis to regulatory arenas other than the EU, as well as to regulatory objects more central than organic agriculture to capitalist accumulation.

基于价值工程原理对普通高校人文社科专业课程结构的思考

目前,普通高师院校的专业课程教学一般都是按着一定的专业设置规范来进行,但面对当今社会现实对毕业生所应具有的综合性价值需求,仅仅按这种方式所限制的教学内容进行教学,是满足不了实际需求的,特别是人文社科专业。虽然通识教育虽然也意在提高毕业生的使用价值,但仍有必要加强人文社科专业间跨专业综合教育1,以此建立通识教育——跨专业综合教育——专业方向教育三位一体的教学结构,以最小的成本,增加毕业生的价值量及适用性。
