This volume comprises twelve papers written by Chinese scholars on various aspects of the history of ancient Chinese economic thought. The contributions are preceded by an introduction which gives an overview of the development of the subject of history of economic thought in China, and which also provides an historical context to the individuals who constitute the major ""schools"" of ancient Chinese economic thought.

In Deutschland wurden in den letzten Jahren zahlreiche Ratgeberbücher mit Chinabezug
veröffentlicht, einige davon versuchen, altchinesische Weisheiten für das Leben und Arbeiten im 21. Jahrhundert zu deuten. Der vorliegende Artikel untersucht beispielhaft drei dieser Bücher, die sich mit dem Konfuzianismus, dem Daoismus und der Kriegskunst aus dem alten China befassen. Wie legen die Autoren die frühen Konzepte in ihren Büchern neu auf und welche konkreten Elemente der althergebrachten
Weisheiten werden übernommen? Wie gut funktioniert der Wissenstransfer vom alten China in die heutige Zeit? Nach der inhaltlichen und sprachlichen Untersuchung werden die Ergebnisse vor dem Hintergrund der in Deutschland verbreiteten Chinabilder analysiert. (Autorenreferat)

FOUR NEW TEXTS ON CHINESE POLITICS ARE REVIEWED. THE AUTHORS OF THESE NEW TEXTS ARE HAROLD HINTON, LUCIAN PYE, JOHN BYRAN STARR, AND JAMES TOWNSEND. THE ASSESSMENT OF THESE WORKS SUGGEST THAT CHINESE POLITICS STUDIES MUST STOP BEING ISOLATED FROM THE BROADER CONCERNS OF THE SOCIAL SCIENCES. THESE WORKS BEGIN TO ACCOMPLISH THIS BY THE APPLICATION OF METHODOLOGIES BOWROWED FROM COMPARATIVE POLITICS.

Although the concept of corporate governance began with the emergence of corporations, the concept of governance can be traced back to ancient China. Currently, discussions of this topic focus mainly on the differences between approaches to and theories about corporate governance and examine their effectiveness, an integrated view that draws on Chinese theories and cultures is missing. This paper attempts to address the gaps by conceptually synthesizing insights from ancient Chinese philosophies to construct an integrated framework; it further defines the legal and ethical constraints while incorporating both an ancient Chinese (i.e., Eastern) philosophical perspective and Western governance elements and both national-level and firm-level variables. Drawing on institutional theory (Scott, 1995, 2004, 2008a, 2008b) and considering the interaction of legal and ethical constraints, a model — the ethical-legal model — constructs and categorizes corporate governance approaches into four types driven by different types of institutions and compares how these approaches are related to different governance perspectives (agent, stewardship and stakeholder). An autonomous (Wu Wei) governance approach is trigged when the cognitive institution is formed as a result of high levels of both legal and ethical constraints and drives autonomous corporate governance with a shift in focus from compliance to commitments

This paper, for the first time in Russian science, outlines the evolution of ancient Chinese views on humanitarian intervention and their potential use in Beijing's modification of the contemporary concept of humanitarian intervention and the 'responsibility to protect' (R2P) initiative. There are good reasons to believe that the concept of humanitarian intervention was formulated for the first time in the world history of thought in China during the Warring States period (5th–3rd centuries BC). Its functional equivalents were the terms zhū 誅 'judgement/punishment' and zhēng 征 'expedition,' used in the discussions of the 'sage kings of antiquity' (gǔ-zhī shèng wáng 古之聖王, semi-legendary exemplary cultural heroes and dynastic founders) and in the discourse on the 'proper [use of] military force' (yì-bīng 義兵), an ancient Chinese equivalent of the just war theory. The views on humanitarian intervention evolved from 'divine intervention' (i.e. military actions as the execution of heavenly judgment, till the beginning of the 3rd century BC) to 'humanitarian intervention' (military actions as a means for rescuing the people from the villainous government, by the end of the 3rd century BC). Beijing's use of this tradition might create a greater scope for legitimizing political actions that meet the interests and values of the PRC, thus raising the legitimacy bar of humanitarian intervention, and helping to specify the methods and mechanisms of peaceful conflict resolution under the R2P. The main aspects of the 'sinicization' of modern humanitarian intervention, taking into account the ancient Chinese ethics of war, can be an alternative conceptualization of the political space, an emphasis on the morality of a legitimate actor, a criterion of popular approval, a rethinking of jus in bello and jus post bellum as verifiers of jus ad bellum, the distinction between a regime change and a ruler change, and a focus on intervention as the last resort.
