This study on the South Korean justice, past and present, seeks to set out the terms or values that could guide towards a better understanding of this concept. It aims to reveal the distinctive aspects of its legal tradition that went through multiple upheavals and whose current perception is blurred.Conceptualized and institutionalized in its contemporary form on a western mold, justice is in itself a unique and ancient Korean legal tradition. Compared to the Western « legalistic » view, traditional Korean legal thought is based on a moral drawn from Confucianism. This ethic based on knowledge, virtue, and etiquette, will help shape a theory and practice of justice whose influence endures to this day.To discover the meanings of justice in South Korea and clarify what justice means and represents through time, the first part attempts to define all the ideas connected with the principle of justice. The second part discuss the judicial institution and aims to trace its historical thread to explain the changes experienced by the different forms of administration of justice. The third part focuses on the feelings of justice. It aims to describe how South Koreans perceive and grasp justice. To do this, it is the perception of the idea and the image of justice understood both as a principle and judicial function that is analyzed, as well as the way this perception is received

Based on a triple observation, namely the importance of Supply Chain Management approach in the management, the necessary taking into account of the culture for the implementation of this approach and a first impression of the accordance between the Chinese culture and the SCM, our research aims to analyze the SCM implementation in the Chinese cultural context.The first part of this resarch is designed for a litterature review which allows defining behavioral conditions for SCM implementation, analyzing the concept of culture as well as Chinese cultural elements, and then putting forward theoretical propositions and constructing a conceptual model.The second part intends developping the methodology of Management Science and explaining our choices of research methods mobilized in empirical analysis. After that, we realize the fieldwork through a qualitative analysis of dates collected from semi-directive interviews and a long period observation.Based on these analyses, we conclude that Chinese cultural elements positively correlate with conditions for SCM and the Chinese culture is a favorable context for SCM implementation

There have been many researches in the field of management, but none of them touches the area of Chinese management of Swedish staff, as far as we know. This is a rather new phenomenon ever since China decided for outward expansion. Cultural myopias and the lack of cultural competency are contributions to the failures of many cross cultural co-operations.
The purpose of this dissertation was to detect the management issues in terms of relationships, and shed light on the perceptual differences between the cultures within the chosen companies. To measure the values the employees had, from cultural aspects, we conducted a survey developed by Professor Geert Hofstede. The survey was used as a complement to our qualitative data, and the results demonstrated that the Chinese within these companies seem to adopt a rather “Swedish like” mentality. The qualitative results, however, prove that there are cultural differences causing operational frictions at these firms. The perceptual differences initiate cultural distance between the cultures, preventing comprehension. We believe the reason is failure to apply measures to educate and integrate the members within the firms.

Le Quy Don’s Confucianism A Study of Vietnamese Confucianism Nguyen Tai Dong Abstract This is a study of Vietnamese Confucianism as seen in the philosophy of Le Quy Don. Le, one of the most known representatives of Vietnamese Confucianism, has made a rather impressive synthesis of the Sung-Ming Confucianism and Vietnamese culture. In the philosophy of Le Quy Don one finds: that: (1) A brilliant synthesis of the Sung-Ming Confucianism and Vietnamese culture, and consequently, gave to Vietnamese Confucianism a special outlook, different from the original Confucianism and the Sung-Ming Confucianism. (2) Vietnamese Confucianism, pays more attention to the practical aspects and less to the theoretical aspect of Confucianism (3) There is a permanent transformation of the main Confucian virtues in Vietnamese way of living with a clear purpose of supporting the patriotic movement, and the independence of the Viet. Nam. These thoughts are analyzed in five chapters: (1) the first discusses the object and the method of the study; (2) the second deals with the influence of Confucianism in Vietnam; (3) the third studies Le Quy Don’s system of Confucianism, (4) the fourth discusses Le Quy Don’s practical Confucianism as seen in his political thought; and (5) the last chapter is a revaluation of his morals and philosophy of life. Key-words: Confucianism, Vietnamese Confucianism, Le Quy Don, transformation of Confucianism, patriotism.

Anti-corruption measures have become a major issue for most countries in the 21st century. According to published research by the World Bank, Transparency International and other international institutions, the ROC’s corruption-control-index does not rank highly. Citizens’ perceptions suggest that the effectiveness of current strategies and measures are limited. The goal of this research is to go beyond old thinking, analyzing this issue in a broader perspective. The role of existing core values is key. The purposes of this research are three: The first is to identify and analyse how factors and pathways in Confucian culture relate to corruptive crimes. The second is to find out the effects of such cultural thinking, combining moral value and law, to the values of criminal policies of anti-corruption. The third is to distinguish the key elements of general crime and corruptive crime so as to find a way to prevent traditional corruptive crimes. This research found that factors leading to corruption within Confucian society, are: 1. the ‘family system’; 2. the overemphasis on discipline and ethics; 3. the lack of a ‘societal’ moral outlook; 4.the misperception and bias resulting from the legal view. The methodology of this research combines not only a literature review but also interviews, based on the criminals’ experiences and point of views from the actual corruptive cases, and then inductively to identify relevant factors. The analytical strategy is to compare and contrast the modern western civilization and the traditional Confucian culture, so as to make the concepts and the characters clear. The findings of this research according to my review of published literature and interviews are; 1. Relations among family members and friends are a potential factor in development of corruptive networks. 2. Chinese corruptive behaviors tend to lack the control of the sense of shame. 3. Chinese legal concepts mix affection and penalty. 4. Our current criminal policies on corruption are unbalanced. 5. Informal control mechanisms and the system of legal education are at odds. Practical recommendations from this research are as follows. In short term, take measures of strict law-enforcement (as Hong Kong and Singapore), so as to get the instant effects of anti-corruption measures. Further short-term measures: 1. making explicit the make-up of the anti-corruption law; 2. establishing the measures and ways of corruption prevention; 3. making judicial investigation match the value of legal justice. In the longer term, we should learn lessons from states where civil society is organized differently (for example, Denmark and Finland) and where ‘corruption’ levels are low by international standards. There are some limitations to this research. First, the topic is large, yet the relevant literatures are limited. The focus of this research is on traditional corruptive crimes; the non traditional corruptive ones, which are arguably more harmful but mentioned only where necessary, is not the focus of this research. By necessity, interviews were based on a convenience sample, and so carry well-recognised shortcomings. Finally, it is important to recognize that research on corruption is of immediate importance – many institutional developments in the international arena require commitment to the development of effective anti-corruption measures. Every country is now under pressure to both understand the nature and dynamics of corruption and to respond effectively.

Between 1949 and 1960, Confucianism is really in Taiwan, because communism advocated by China, but after 1980, the China open gradually with the economic reforms, they turn back to study Confucianism, whether for political or for academic. Even after 2000, a new generation whom born after the Cultural Revolution, research on the Chinese philosophy have results gradually, add with historical identity, people draw an equal sign that Chinese philosophy is China , then Confucian scholars in Taiwan, where their academic places are? Prof. Chen Zhao-ying in the foreword of Taiwan Confucianism mention: Taiwan Confucianism as a new discourse to mention, of course, is an interesting attempt about the Confucian study, but also solves my inner emotion between Taiwan and China. Taiwan Confucianism shows the root consciousness, the local consciousness, and universal value of Confucianism. Confucianism in Taiwan shows the combine between local culture and Confucianism universal. The concept of Taiwan Confucianism first put forward by Prof. Chen Zhao-ying, as she said, this “Taiwan Confucianism” is to solve the tangled emotion between Taiwan and China. Therefore, my article is according this feeling to start. Then discuss the problems of Taiwan Confucianism. Taiwan combination cultural and historical background extends the problems between "Elite Confucianism " and " Vulgar Confucianism". "Elite Confucianism" refers to these scholars that inherited the traditional Chinese culture, such as Zhu Xi, Wang Yangming ...... and so on." Vulgar Confucianism" within the meaning of the concept of the traditional Confucian arising because of regional popular culture of life .This compatibility and estrangement reflect the issue of cultural, geographical, and ideological. In my paper, the first should be clarified that the concept of "Elite Confucian" and "Vulgar Confucianism ", thereby extend out the identity transformation for intellectuals. Then discussion the "College" culture which show the compatibility between "Elite Confucianism" and "Vulgar Confucianism" .Finally export the Taiwan's value in "East Asian Confucianism" and what academic topics can be research. Therefore, my paper topic is The Compatibility and Estrangement of "Elite Confucianism" and " Vulgar Confucianism" in Taiwan, there are four issues should be discussed: First, the definition of "Elite Confucianism" and "Vulgar Confucianism" in Taiwan. Second, fieldpermit and focus make the changes of Taiwan intellectuals. Third, the compatibility and estrangement of "Elite Confucianism" and "Vulgar Confucianism". Fourth, what value and research direction in "East Asian Confucianism" of Taiwan Confucianism. So, my paper accord the four issues divided into five chapters to discuss, and finally to the conclusion.

The famous writing of the Judgment of Extravagance by Lu Chi (1515-1552), which had pointed out the extravagance of the rich, could create employment for the poor explicitly. Hence Lu Chi deprecated sumptuary regulations and assured extravagance to enrich people. However, on matters pertaining to consumption and standards of living, it is supposed that traditional Chinese thought has been in favor of saving and frugality and against spending and lavishness. We could find the concept in Judgment of Extravagance is tremendously different from general impression that frugality is a good virtue. However, the existing literatures label such meritocracy, for instance, the Kuan-tzu, Fan Chung-yen and Wei Yuan, who advocate of extravagance as less important philosopher. We are interested in finding out whether the concept of Judgment of Extravagance is really heresy heterodoxy. If it is not influential, it is meaningless even once existed. Nevertheless, it is difficult to evaluate if it is influential from empirical policy directly. We turn to explore the basic logic in the derivation of the advocate of extravagance. And then we proceed in finding out if the basic logic is shared by the other meritocracy and policy makers. Moreover, we will tell if the basic logic is approved even emphasized in the mainstream concept of Confucianism in ancient China. We also provide a full version of the general attitude in the thrifty and extravagance in order to judge if the Judgment of Extravagance is really heresy heterodoxy. We will analyze and sum up the typical philosophy from Neo-Confucianism viewpoint. For it is highly consistent with the main concept of Confucianism. In other words, it helps us to tell if Confucianism is anti-consumption. The Fable of Bees by Bernard Mandeville (1670-1733) in 1714 is also well-known in the West. It is noticed in literatures that the common idea existed in both the Fable of Bees and the Judgment of Extravagance, that prodigality is a vice that is prejudicial to the man, but not to the trade. That is private vice leads to public benefit. We will further compare the deep-rooted philosophy between the Fable of Bees and the Judgment of Extravagance. Hence we will endeavor to explore the economic philosophy and method of classicalists in the theme of consumption to the wealth of nation from the Physiocrats to Adam Smith by surveying the representative masterpieces (e.g., An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations) among these economists. Furthermore, For the sake of analysis on the advocate of extravagance in general form, we provide the relevant economic theory (includes mathematical economy) to capture the complete philosophy in consumption.

Stephens, Daniel. "The Sage's Psychology: Confucianism Naturalized." Diss., 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10161/9958.
In this dissertation, I attempt to answer the question of how people can come to behave in accordance with their moral standards. To answer this question, I argue for and then apply a naturalistic approach to ethical philosophy that includes an attempt to construct both an empirically adequate account of human psychology and an account of moral cultivation that accords with that account of our psychology. I then present a part of that picture of human psychology, focused on what I call "impediments to virtue", which are the elements of human psychology that make it difficult for us to behave in ways that consistently accord with our moral standards; this picture also serves to show why we need moral cultivation methods and helps to clarify what we need them to do for us. I then argue in favor of an interpretation of the Analects of Confucius on which it is primarily focused on discussions of a method of moral cultivation, and I lay out a detailed account of what that method is and how it works. Turning once again to literature in empirical psychology, I present an argument that we have good reason to think that the Confucian method of moral cultivation as presented in the Analects will be effective in the ways intended. I then discuss the relative strengths of the Confucian method over other methods of moral cultivation that exist in the philosophical literature, including Aristotle's method of cultivating virtue in the Nichomachean Ethics, Mark Alfano's factitious virtue theory, and biotechnological moral enhancement.

Guangong is the most wide belief and versatile deity in China. He is a guardian god in Buddhism and Taoism, and also provides blessing for intellectuals, farmers, businessmen, and government officials. Besides, not only military, police, but gangsters worship him. The religious belief situation is rare all over the world. However, because of its wide belief, it is feasible to see the belief as a tool to spread Confucianism. In chapter one, it introduces the motive, material, and scope of the study. In chapter two, it describes the historical background of Guangong belief, and the situation of worshiping Guangong in the frontiers and neighborhood countries. In Chapter three, it states the Confucian spirits within all Guangong classics, and the basic information about them. In Chapter four, it describes the Confucianism in Xiao-Zhong Wu’s article, and utilizes the ideas from the article to develop solutions for the issues of modern society. In Chapter five, it states the possibility of using Guangong belief to promote Confucianism and make a final conclusion.

Since 1975 the number of state regimes categorized as ‘democratic’ has risen dramatically. According to one analysis, 69 percent of countries of the world had authoritarian regimes in that year, while only 24 percent could be described as liberal democracies. By 1995 only 26 percent of countries in the world were authoritarian and almost half had become liberal democracies. This tremendous expansion was also notable for being remarkably indiscriminate in extent and background, with countries in Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and Africa having institutionalized electoral competition, each proceeding from diverse political-economic circumstances and societies. In spite of this impressive proliferation, democratization has shown itself to be a capricious process, with ambiguous victories, setbacks, and many legacies of authoritarianism remaining intractable. At the same time, doubts have been raised about the unequivocal commitment to civil rights and liberties of ‘established’ democracies. With these caveats in mind, this study will investigate the sources of authoritarian tendencies as self-reported by Taiwanese citizens. Using data collected by the Taiwan Social Change Survey in 2006, I will run a regression trying to locate the source(s) of authoritarian beliefs using three hypotheses. The results will indicate whether and how the development of corporatist economic institutions, sensitivity to a national security threat, and traditional culture impact a citizens’ support for freedom of association, and the rights to demonstrate and strike.
