从国际公共产品到区域性公共产品——区域合作理论的新增长点

区域性公共产品概念是对国际公共产品概念的继承和发展。深化对区域性公共产品的理论建构是当前国际关系学研究的新热点之一。经济学中的公共产品理论与地区主义的五阶段说和功能主义的溢出说相融合,为传统的区域合作理论提供了新的理论分析框架。公共产品消费中非排他性和非竞争性的特征为选取区域合作的内容设定了较为客观的标准。公共产品的成本-收益分析则从经济学的角度较为科学地说明了驱动有关国家开展区域合作的内在动力。此外,公共产品理论中有关外部性的论述还可解决域外大国参与区域合作的难题。

“唯物史观”视角下偏好演化及其应用分析

建立在偏好自涉、外生、同质、稳定基础上的主流偏好理论,在解释现实世界的诸多现象特别是普遍存在的利他行为方面常常出现理论与现实相悖之困境。为此,本文摒弃新古典经济偏好自涉、外生、同质、稳定等假设,从唯物史观角度探讨偏好演化基础,以"生产方式——人的本质——个体偏好"之间的内在逻辑为分析主线探索以生产方式变革为核心的偏好引导与重塑,由此探索促进社会和谐、包容发展的微观基础。

Further education and training in the french public sector

Since 1989, the French public sector has imitated the private sector's further education and training mechanisms. But today, it seems that just as in the private sector, the training policies in the public sector have severe limitations. Based on a case study of a large public research institute and on a national survey making it possible to compare the private and public sectors, the paper studies the further education and training policies and their links with the organizational needs. In the public sector, the difficult balance between individual's choices and strategic management comes on the one hand from the specificities of the administrative rules of human resource management, and on the other hand from the unions' power and strategies. Faced with new challenges (demographic evolutions, decentralisation, new demands from the users of public services), the French public sector must develop new training policies.
