一、社会选择问题的类型和意义 资本主义民主本质上靠两种社会选择的方法来贯彻：政治决策上的投票机制和经济决策上的市场机制。此外，在其他社会形态中，社会决策有时由个人或小集团作出，有时则依赖于特定环境中的社会传统，如宗教信仰。这是另外两种社会选择的方法，即独裁和传统。 在理想的独裁制下，社会决策虽属一人之事，但他一人即代表着全体社会成员的意志；在理想的由传统维系的社会中，社会决策依据某种信仰或假定由全休社会成员的习俗所决定。因此这两种社会选择方法都不涉及个人意志相互冲突的问题。与此相反投票或市场的方法，一般总涉及如何把许多个人的不同偏好逻辑一致地汇总成单一社会选择的问题。应该说，从尊重个人选择意志的角度看，理想状态下的独裁和传统的方法始终是合乎理性的，但这种合理性对于涉及许多不同个人意志的集体选择过程也能同样有效么？ 该问题的一个例子是下述著名的"投票悖论"：假定某社会由3人组成，该社会必须在三种社会行动A.B.C中作出集体选择。又假定选择可以重复进行，但每次只对两个候选对象进行比较，则决定集体偏好的一个自然法则便是少数服从多数原则。现设3个人对三种社会行动的偏好顺序如下表所示： 个人社会行动偏好顺序 A>B>C C>A>B B>C>A显然，根据多数原则，社会选择结果将得出A>B,B>c,C>A的悖论，也即按多数决策原则，从三个合理的个人偏好顺序中将得不出单一合理的社会偏好顺序来。 …… …… 二、社会选择问题的表述形式和前提条件。 …… …… 三、一般可能性定理。 …… …… 四、对一般可能性定理的证明。 …… …… 五、对一般可能性定理的解释。 …… ……

美国学术界研究当代移民的论著大多公认这样一个事实：亚裔移民是当今美国移民中增长最快的族裔群体。由于亚裔移民的整体教育水准高，创业能力强，仅仅经过一两代人的努力就攀上了美国主流经济的中层甚至高层的位置。华人移民美国已有一百五十多年的历史。自十九世纪中叶以来，华人移民美国虽大起大落，却源源不断。但其过去与今日在美国的遭遇和处境却大相径庭，不可同日而语。本书就美国华人社会的变迁进行了比较全面的分析。 这本书一方面呈现中国古典文学在“性别”与“家国”议题上的特殊风貌，一方面在书中也适时与西方理论及西方汉学家研究成果进行了对话。 本书收集了作者作为加州大学著名华裔社会学家和亚裔研究学家在美国一流的学术期刊和论著上发表的有关华人社会的15篇精选论文。美国社会学学会会长、普林斯顿大学社会学系系主任波特斯博士特为本书中文版作序。相信这本论文集也将会在中国学术界产生影响。

Since the late 1970s, China’s move towards neoliberalism has made it not only one of the world’s fastest growing economies, but also one of the most polarised states. This economic, social and political transformation has led to the emergence of a new Chinese middle class, and understanding the development and the role of this new social group is crucial to understanding contemporary Chinese society. Investigating the new politics of the middle class in China, this book addresses three major questions. First, how does the Chinese state deal with problems of national sovereignty and political representation to create the middle class both as a legitimate category of the people and as an ideal norm of citizenship? Second, how does the recognition of the middle class norm take place in the practice of everyday life? Finally, what kind of risks does the politics of the middle class generate not only for middle class subjects but also for the disenfranchised? In answering these questions, this book examines a set of practices, bodies of knowledge, measures, and institutions that aim to manage, govern, control, and orient the behaviours, gestures, and thoughts of Chinese citizens. This investigation contributes not only to the understanding of the Chinese middle class society but also to the scholarly debate over the relationship between governmental apparatuses, subjectification, and life-building. Drawing on ethnographic information, historical archives, and the media, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars working in the fields of Chinese studies, Chinese politics, ethnic studies and urban studies, as well as those interested in culture, society, class and welfare.

巴枯宁是现代无政府主义的创始人物、也是俄国早期一位革命家。《上帝与国家》是他最有名的著作之一。在这部著作中他表明对上帝的信仰和对国家的信仰乃是人类自由的两大障碍。他认为，对上帝的信仰，只会使人们驯服于"被上帝选中的人的神圣权威"，失去批判精神、理智和意志。巴枯宁将国家称为"合法的、公开的暴政"，主张自由是对权威的叛逆，也就是对直接合法化了的权威--国家的叛逆。本书近六万余字，不分章节，稍显无序，

First published in 1956, The Power Elite stands as a contemporary classic of social science and social criticism. C. Wright Mills examines and critiques the organization of power in the United States, calling attention to three firmly interlocked prongs of power: the military, corporate, and political elite. The Power Elite can be read as a good account of what was taking place in America at the time it was written, but its underlying question of whether America is as democratic in practice as it is in theory continues to matter very much today. What The Power Elite informed readers of in 1956 was how much the organization of power in America had changed during their lifetimes, and Alan Wolfe's astute afterword to this new edition brings us up to date, illustrating how much more has changed since then. Wolfe sorts out what is helpful in Mills book and which of his predictions have not come to bear, laying out the radical changes in American capitalism, from intense global competition and the collapse of communism to rapid technological transformations and ever changing consumer tastes. The Power Elite has stimulated generations of readers to think about the kind of society they have and the kind of society they might want, and deserves to be read by every new generation.

A groundbreaking examination of the growing inequality gap from the bestselling author of Bowling Alone: why fewer Americans today have the opportunity for upward mobility. It’s the American dream: get a good education, work hard, buy a house, and achieve prosperity and success. This is the America we believe in—a nation of opportunity, constrained only by ability and effort. But during the last twenty-five years we have seen a disturbing “opportunity gap” emerge. Americans have always believed in equality of opportunity, the idea that all kids, regardless of their family background, should have a decent chance to improve their lot in life. Now, this central tenet of the American dream seems no longer true or at the least, much less true than it was. Robert Putnam—about whom The Economist said, “his scholarship is wide-ranging, his intelligence luminous, his tone modest, his prose unpretentious and frequently funny”—offers a personal but also authoritative look at this new American crisis. Putnam begins with his high school class of 1959 in Port Clinton, Ohio. By and large the vast majority of those students—“our kids”—went on to lives better than those of their parents. But their children and grandchildren have had harder lives amid diminishing prospects. Putnam tells the tale of lessening opportunity through poignant life stories of rich and poor kids from cities and suburbs across the country, drawing on a formidable body of research done especially for this book. Our Kids is a rare combination of individual testimony and rigorous evidence. Putnam provides a disturbing account of the American dream that should initiate a deep examination of the future of our country.

城市化俨然已成为中国改革与发展中的关键词，它一头连着土地制度和户籍制度，另一头连着经济转型和就业。因此，中国城市化道路的选择，是事关国家发展道路的战略问题。 遗憾的是，由于概念、意识形态以及少数人利益的遮蔽，中国城市化正走向激进。本书试图在尊重历史与国情的基础上，从另一个视角观察、解读中国城市化的真实现场及其背后的制度安排，提出一条保护农民返乡权利，避免中国落入中等收入陷阱的稳健的城市化道路。

房价居高不下、拆迁此起彼伏，腐败接连不断，土地制度因此被一次次推向舆论的风口浪尖，变革地权几乎成了泄洪的唯一通道。此时，我们希望听到和看到的，往往是自己想要的“真相”，而不是基于土地自身逻辑常识的真相，谬误便由此而生。 本书则是在全面认识土地属性，尊重土地制度历史渊源与现实语境的前提下，提供一种与时下主流的“黑板经济学”的“常识”大为不同的新常识，并从另一个视角还原了土地财政、征地拆迁等焦点问题的真相，并提出新型城镇化所需要的城乡统筹模式。 土地作为最重要的资源，关乎每个人的利益，也是几乎所有热点问题、焦点问题的“根”，但地权并不浪漫，地权变革如果迷信“浪漫主义想象”的逻辑推演，结果可能是中国社会转型之殇。

Renowned for his coverage of China's elite politics and leadership transitions, veteran Sinologist Willy Lam has produced the first book-length study in English of the rise of Xi Jinping--General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) since November 2012. With rare insight, Lam describes Xi's personal history and his fascination with quasi-Maoist values, the factional politics through which he ascended, the configuration of power of the Fifth-Generation leadership, and the country's likely future directions under the charismatic "princeling." Despite an undistinguished career as a provincial administrator, Xi has rapidly amassed more power than his predecessors. He has overawed his rivals and shaken up the party-state hierarchy by launching large-scale anti-corruption and rectification campaigns. With a strong power base in the People's Liberation Army and a vision of China as an "awakening lion," Xi has been flexing China's military muscle in sovereignty rows with countries including Japan, Vietnam, and the Philippines while trying to undermine the influence of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region. While Xi is still fine-tuning his art of governance, his zero tolerance for dissent and his preoccupation with upholding the privileges of the "red aristocracy" and the CCP's status as "perennial ruling party" do not bode well for economic, political, or cultural reforms. Lam takes a close look at Xi's ideological and political profile and considers how his conservative outlook might shape what the new strongman calls "the Great Renaissance of the Chinese race."

Few discussions in modern social science have occupied as much attention as the changing nature of welfare states in Western societies. Gosta Esping-Andersen, one of the foremost contributors to current debates on this issue, here provides a new analysis of the character and role of welfare states in the functioning of contemporary advanced Western societies. Esping-Andersen distinguishes three major types of welfare state, connecting these with variations in the historical development of different Western countries. He argues that current economic processes, such as those moving toward a postindustrial order, are shaped not by autonomous market forces but by the nature of states and state differences. Fully informed by comparative materials, this book will have great appeal to all those working on issues of economic development and postindustrialism. Its audience will include students of sociology, economics, and politics.

《社会黏合剂:社会秩序的研究》中，作者运用多个学科的理论和方法，对谈判、集体行动和社会规范之间的内在关系进行了全新的阐释，并在此基础之上提出自己的观点：社会秩序的形成是不同层次非理性因素和理性因素综合作用的结果。妒忌、机会主义和可信性作为社会黏合剂，对社会秩序起着重要作用，自利和非自利因素通过不同个人进行着复杂的相互作用，从而构成了稳定与合作的社会秩序。埃尔斯特是分析马克思主义的领军人物。
