The Foundation of the Rule of Law Consisting in Cultivating Citizens with ‘Inner Views’ (Study & Exploration; No. 7) Year of publication: 2019 Author: Wei Zhixun | Lliu Yize Corporate author: Heilongjiang Academy of Social Sciences In the process of building the rule of law in China, it is of constitutive significance to cultivate modern citizens with “inner views”. Citizens are both the beneficiaries of legal rights and the bearers of legal obligations. Only when citizens truly enjoy their rights and fulfill their obligations can the rule of law be complete. Some of the difficulties encountered in the construction of China’s rule of law lie in the defects and deficiencies in the cultivation of citizens. Under the traditional Chinese political logic and ethical hierarchy order of family－country isomorphism, civic consciousness and civic personality must be difficult to develop. Therefore, in the unique historical context of China’s rule of law construction, citizen cultivation is not only the fundamental way to promote ethnic integration and build a modern nation state, but also the only way to lay the main body and cultural foundation for the realization of the goal of rule of law, and also the inevitable choice for the country to move towards system modernization. Carrying out legal education, patriotism education and all kinds of civil practice training vigorously, with the growth of citizen’s spirits and the accumulation of social participation will contribute to training the general public gradually to be modern citizens with internal points of view and autonomy ability so as to lay a solid social cultural foundations for the rule of law in China. Therefore, the construction of the rule of law in China is logically presented as a dual structure with dual goals: the rule of law must first help to promote the revival and strength of China, and then the goal to protect civil rights earns its meaning and possibility. At the same time, it presets the inherent logic and basic path of Chinese citizens’ cultivation: training citizens in the process of system construction promotes the growth of the rule of law through citizens’ growth so as to achieve perfection． 
Lack of Modern Students' Well-Ordered Public Life and the Construction Way—From the Perspective of Schools' Civic Education Year of publication: 2019 Author: Gao Fengqing Corporate author: Shanxi Academy of Educational Sciences | Shanxi Educational Association Public life is a practical communication activity for citizens that takes place in the public sphere to promote public awareness, public affairs and public morality. The lack of students’ public life is likely to lead to the lack of relationship in schools’ civic education, the weakening of students’ micro-public space consciousness and publicity in the Internet age, and the removal of cultural intimacy of civic education. Schools’ civic education should be based on the construction of the whole social public space, so that students’ public life will be organically linked with the global social public space. Schools should solve the conflicts between public expression and individual discourse expression by activating the student citizenship, pay attention to the shaping of students’ cultural emotions through public life experience of national history and Confucianism, and promote the achievement of students’ social emotions and social consensus.

The Status and Issues of Peace Education: Focussing on Its Interactions with Unification Education Year of publication: 2019 Author: Jeongah Cho | Ellie Kim | Ahyoung Moon | Boyoung Yoon Corporate author: Korea Institute for National Unification To lay the groundwork to explore the accessibility of peace education and unification education in an era of peace cooperation on the Korean Peninsula, this study takes a look at the history of peace education and the current situation and issues of both peace education and unification education. Against the backdrop of the division on the Korean Peninsula, unification education and peace education have been established as educational sectors of conflict resolution between the North and the South and of means of mediation for violence caused by the division. The two sectors have developed commonalities along the way. The origin of peace education and unification education is rooted on the division of the Korean Peninsula and the subsequent unification issues. In the current educational practices, there are different characteristics and emphasis in terms of the direction, contents, and subject of education between peace education and unification education. Efforts of creating “peace·unification education” are recently being made which focuses more on issues of peace than existing unification education. Peace education and unification education exhibit differences when it comes to the relationship between peace and unification in realizing a peaceful Korean Peninsula, whether unification is justified as an ultimate goal, how issues of ‘positive peace’ and security are handled, and how much initiatives the learners have. This study asserts that the issues between peace education and unification education should be clarified and that the two sectors should expand the overlapping areas under the principal of dealing with unification issues on the basis of value of peace.
