Harmony And Humane Governance - Contesting The Social Order In Classical Chinese Thought And 21st Century Global Society, R. James Ferguson, Rosita Dellios

R. James Ferguson

When China’s President Hu Jintao articulated his country’s ‘harmonious world’ (hexie shijie) foreign policy perspective at the United Nations’ 60th anniversary in 2005, he spoke of the need ‘to preserve the diversity of civilizations in the spirit of equality and openness, make international relations more democratic and jointly build a harmonious world where all civilizations coexist and accommodate each other.’ This message has retained its salience in subsequent years and represents a particular vision of world order that is viewed as the ‘preferred’ option within current Chinese foreign policy. Where does this vision come from? In investigating the ancestry of …

A Critical Encounter With Fred Dallmayr: Introduction, Kenneth D. Colburn Jr.

Kenneth D. Colburn

The article presents memories of the author when he chaired a book review panel on sociologist Fred Dallmayr's book "Critical Encounters," at the annual meeting of the Society for Phenomenology and the Human Sciences held at Duquesne University in 1989. The author says that reviewers Peter Kivisto and Dieter Misgeld, each offered insightful and critical commentary on Dalimayr's work after which Dalimayr had the opportunity to respond. Kivisto and Misgeld were friendly and supportive in their reading of Dalimayr. Yet each raises in a somewhat different way that Dalimayr's essays were more oriented toward philosophical abstractions than political or practical …

Public Opinion Reform In China, David S. Mason, Ken Colburn

Kenneth D. Colburn

As the People's Republic of China shifts toward a more market-oriented economic system, it has also begun exploring another Western institution: scientific public opinion polling. As Yang Guansan, one of China's leading pollsters, said recently in the Beijing Review: "Only five or six years ago, the public opinion poll was considered to be a 'bourgeois' or 'capitalist' method of social survey ... Now the taboo has been swept away in the strong tide of reform, which is challenging all of China's traditions, stereotypes and prejudices."
