The Carbon Dioxide Emissions Differences Impacts Between Urban and Rural Areas
Authors: Li Yifan
Published: September 2024

In China, the patterns of carbon emissions exhibit a clear divergence between urban and rural areas. While cities experience a surge in carbon emissions, rural regions maintain more stable levels, albeit with modest increases. These contrasting trends contribute to widening inter-provincial disparities in urban areas, whereas rural inequalities remain relatively unchanged. Over time, the overall inequality in carbon emissions across the country has undergone distinct phases, transitioning from a period of escalation to gradual reduction, eventually reaching a point of stabilization. Market-driven factors, alongside governmental actions, are crucial in shaping this inequality, with urban and rural areas responding differently to policy interventions. The digital economy has emerged as a pivotal force in mitigating disparities, producing significant positive spillover effects across regions. The relationship between economic development and carbon emissions inequality follows a U-shaped pattern, indicating that early stages of growth might aggravate inequality before improvement occurs. On the other hand, while optimizing industrial structures can address urban-rural disparities, the spatial spillover impact of these changes remains limited. Governmental efforts to regulate carbon emissions have been less effective in reducing inequality and, in some cases, may inadvertently contribute to further divergence. Meanwhile, openness to international markets has a more beneficial influence, whereas the role of population density in this dynamic proves to be multifaceted and difficult to predict.
Cross-Media Industrial Expansion - Take "The Lord of the Rings" as an Example
Authors: Xue Li
Published: September 2024

This paper explores the extensive success of "The Lord of the Rings" (LOTR) as a prime example of cross-media industrial expansion. Originating from J.R.R. Tolkien's novels, LOTR has achieved significant commercial and cultural milestones through films, TV series, and video games, generating around $20 billion in revenue. We analyze the principles of trans-media storytelling, where each medium—literature, film, and games—enhances the narrative world. The paper also highlights the fan economy's role in sustaining the brand through community engagement and user-generated content. Challenges in cross-media collaboration, such as content integration and copyright management, are discussed, with suggested solutions including advanced technologies like VR and AR. Case studies like "Pokemon GO" and virtual events in "Fortnite" underscore the innovative potential of cross-industry partnerships. Empirical analysis shows substantial revenue from licensed merchandise and spin-offs, validating the commercial viability of IP cross-field construction. The paper concludes by addressing future trends and challenges, emphasizing strategic planning to maximize the cultural and economic impact of IPs like LOTR.

Authors: Zou Wenna , Wan Meng , Hu Wenli
Published: September 2024

Under the background of rural revitalization strategy, the cultural identity of new villagers in immigrant villages has received increasing attention. Taking Damoyu Village in Kunming, Yunnan as an example, this study explores how the new villagers' sense of identity with local culture affects their constructive authenticity, life satisfaction and community loyalty. The study constructed a comprehensive model, proposing that cultural identity positively affects the constructive authenticity, the constructive authenticity positively affects the satisfaction and loyalty of new villagers, and satisfaction plays a mediating role between the constructive authenticity and loyalty. 173 new villagers' data were collected through questionnaire surveys and analyzed using structural equation models. The results verified the model's hypothesis. The study found that improving the new villagers' sense of cultural identity and the constructive authenticity of the local environment can significantly improve their life satisfaction and community loyalty. This paper provides important theoretical support and practical suggestions for the cultural construction and community integration of immigrant villages in rural revitalization.

Authors: Chen Zhuo
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study is to investigate the innovative design and efficiency improvement strategies of biomass catalysts from the perspective of green chemistry. In view of the increasing global awareness of environmental protection and the keen demand for sustainable development models, green chemistry has become an indispensable evolution direction in the field of chemical engineering. Biomass catalysts, with their excellent efficiency, excellent selectivity, and low impact on the environment, have shown great potential applications in the territory of green chemistry. This paper describes how to select specific microbial populations, use gene manipulation technology to breed high-performance recombinant enzymes, and use immobilization technology to enhance their durability and reuse. Experimental experience confirms that the improved biomass catalyst exhibits outstanding catalytic activity and stability, significantly reducing energy consumption while minimizing by-product output. Through the characterization of the catalyst, the catalytic mechanism of the catalyst is discussed and evaluated from the standpoint of green chemistry. These findings not only lay the theoretical foundation for the construction of innovative biomass catalysts, but also light the green light for technical support to further promote more eco-friendly chemical processes. Future work will examine more closely the potential of such biocatalysts in complex industrial ecosystems.

Water is essential for human being use and livelihoods ecosystem functioning and services, and the survival of all living species. Water Quality Indices aim at giving a single value to water quality of a source reducing numerous parameters into a simpler expression and enabling easy interpretation of monitoring data. Standard water quality model was used to assess the groundwater quality for drinking purposes in Surman (Zakry locality), Libya. Ten samples from different sites were collected and analyzed for understanding the hydrochemical characteristics and the suitability for drinking purposes. Ten parameter were considered for calculating the water quality index, these are calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, sulfate, pH, total dissolved solids and total hardness. The results obtained from the water quality index were calculated, and found to be within the observed parameters which ranges from 35.69 to 66.05. The total dissolved solids (TDS) were in the majority of samples higher than the permissible limit. The pH values tend slightly toward the acidic range. Keywords: WQI, drinking purposes, Groundwater quality, moderate, Surman.

Authors: Lokmacı Süleyman
Published: September 2024

Solak-zâde Mehmed Hemdemî Çelebi, 17. yüzyıl Osmanlı tarihçilerindendir. Kendi adıyla anılan tarihiyle tanınır. Gençlik yılları saray ve çevresinde geçmiştir. Sultan IV. Murad’ın musahiplerinden olan Solak-zâde, Sultan İbrahim, Hatice Turhan Sultan ve IV. Mehmed tarafından da himaye edilmiştir. Çalışmamıza konu olan “Hemdemî’nin Nasihatnâmesi” isimli eser, Avusturya Milli Kütüphanesi, Türkçe Yazmaları kataloğunda (Cod.N.F.283) bulunmaktadır. Nüshanın dış kapağında “Hemdemî’nin Nasihatnâmesi” ifadesi mevcuttur. Eserin bir diğer nüshası ise McGill Üniversitesi, İslami Çalışmalar Kütüphanesindedir (C95-S684). Cod.N.F.283’ün fotokopisi olan bu nüshanın kapağında “Solak-zâde Mehmed Hemdemî, Nasihatnâme” ifadesi mevcuttur. Ancak eserin muhtevasında müellifin kimliği ile ilgili bilgi bulunmamaktadır. Solak-zâde, Osmanlı devlet sistemindeki kargaşanın sebeplerini ve düzenin yeniden tesisinin nasıl mümkün olduğuyla ilgili olarak Sultan IV. Mehmed’e tavsiyelerde bulunmak amacıyla Nasihatnâme’yi kaleme almıştır. Nasihatnâme, ihtivası bakımından 17. yüzyılda Osmanlı İmparatorluğunun içerisinde bulunduğu durumu gözler önüne sermesi bakımından oldukça önemlidir. Eserde rüşvetin yaygınlaşması, liyakatin gözetilmemesi, adam kayırma, idarecilerin halk üzerindeki baskı ve zulümleri, şerʻi kanunlardan uzaklaşılması gibi sebeplerle devlet sisteminin bozulduğuna dikkat çekilmiştir.

Yukarı Dicle Bölgesi’nde Asur Varlığı ve Yorumlanması
Authors: Özbilen Serdar
Published: September 2024

Asur tarihini inceleyen araştırmalara genel olarak baktığımızda bunun çeşitli yönlere doğru evrildiğini görebiliriz. Özellikle 1960’lardan sonra modern aşama olarak adlandırabileceğimiz süreçten sonra Asur’un kırsaldaki varlığı önemli tartışma konularından birisi hâline gelmiştir. Bu öneriler arasındaki belli başlı kuramlar G. Algaze’nin, I. Wallerstein’in Modern Dünya Sistemleri isimli çalışmasından uyarlanan Uruk Yayılım Kuramı, G. Stein’in Mesafe Paritesi, N. Postgate’in Yağ Lekesi Metaforu, M. Hardt ve A. Negri’nin İmparatorluk Modeli, von Thünen’in Tarımsal Lokasyon Teorisi ve son olarak da M. Liverani’nin Ağlar İmparatorluğu Modelini sayabiliriz. Söz konusu modeller Asur’un taşradaki yerleşim sistemleri ve malzemesinin nasıl yorumlanması gerektiğine dair önemli varsayımlarda bulunmaktadır. Özellikle de Liverani’nin Ağlar İmparatorluğu Modeli malzemenin yerleşim sistemleri ile olan paralelliğini bariz bir şeklide göstermektedir. Böylece, bu manzara, Asurlaştırılan ve Asurlulaştırılan ayrık birimleri olarak algılanan diğer kümelerin, olayların karmaşık bir şekilde iç içe geçmiş karakterine izin verir. Asurlulaştırılan alanlarda topluluklar sadece kendi ürünlerini kullanarak değil, Asur malzemelerini (özellikle da seramiğin taklidi) tüketerek sisteme entegre olmuşlardır. Yerleşim sistemleri ve malzemenin karşılıklı kıyaslanması birbirlerinin varlığını iyi açıklayabilmektedir. Liverani’nin modelinden esinlendiğimiz bu çalışmamızda Asur’un Yukarı Dicle Bölgesi’ndeki varlığını Simbiyotik Bilardo Topu adını verdiğimiz kendi modelimiz doğrultusunda yorumlayacağız. Bu alanlar 3 şekilde tanımlanıp tasnif edilmişlerdir. Gelişmenin birinci belirtisini ifade eden bir bütün olarak toplanma/bütünleşme (bütün hegemonya): “Integration”. Gelişmenin ikinci belirtisini ifade eden bütünleşmenin çözülmesi (Kırılgan hegemonya): “Desintegration”. Gelişmenin üçüncü belirtisini ifade eden belirlenim (minimum hegemonya): “Determination”.
Çalışmamızdaki ana amacımız Asur periferisi ve dışında görülen yerel ve Asur saray malzemesinin karşılıklı bağımlılık ilişkisi içinde nasıl yorumlanması gerektiğini kendi modelimiz doğrultusunda önermektedir. Yöntemimizi ise yukarıda bahsini etmiş olduğumuz kuramların da kısmen göz önünde bulundurularak arkeolojik malzemenin yorumlanması oluşturacaktır.

Authors: Aktaş Elif , Küçük Turgut Birgül
Published: September 2024

Salgın hastalıkların tarihi insanlık tarihi kadar eskidir. İnsan var olduğu günden beri hastalıklar da var olmuş, bunların bazıları salgın hâline gelip, kıtalara hatta tüm dünyaya yayılarak pandemiye dönüşmüş ve milyonlarca insanın ölümüne yol açmıştır. Hastalıklar insanları sadece bedenen etkilemekle kalmayıp, günümüzde de deneyimlendiği üzere salgın hâline dönüştüklerinde ülke politikalarına, günlük hayata, eğitime, ekonomiye, insanlar arası ve hatta devletlerarası ilişkilere yön vermişlerdir. Pandemilerin tıbbın dışında tarihi, sosyolojik, psikolojik, ekonomik, eğitsel, siyasi vb. pek çok boyutu vardır. Ülkemiz de dünyada meydana gelen pandemilerin birçoğundan etkilenmiştir. Mevcut çalışmalara bakıldığında pandemilerin genellikle tıp tarihi açısından köken ve niceliksel olarak ele alındıkları, tarihsel bağlamda ele alınanların ise az ve sınırlı oldukları görülmüştür. Bu doğrultuda üzerinde yeterince durulmayan salgınlardan birisi de 1968 A(H3N2) Hong Kong Gribi pandemisidir. Salgın, dönemin basını tarafından yakından takip edilmiş ve Türkiye’deki serüvenine ışık tutulmuştur. Çalışmada 1968 Hong Kong Gribi pandemisinin genel seyri ve ülkemizdeki gelişimi tarihsel bağlamda ele alınmıştır. Pandemi dönemlerinin hemen hemen hepsinde benzer olayların yaşanması, benzer söylemlerin sarf edilmesi ve benzer kaosların yaşanmasından dolayı 1968 pandemisinin ortaya çıkışı, Türkiye’deki yayılımı, pandemi politikaları, kampanyalar, basında yer alan haberler, toplumsal hayat, eğitim vb. alanlara yansımaları ortaya konulmuş, karşılaştırmalar yapılıp, bundan sonraki benzer gelişmeler için yol gösterici çıkarımlar elde edilmeye çalışılmıştır.

Published: September 2024

Azerbaycan Türkçesinin en önemli dil zenginliklerini içinde barındıran ağızlar, yazı dilinde bulunmayan yüzlerle eski Türkçe kelimeleri farklı ses ve şekil özellikleriyle korumaktadır. Azerbaycan Türkçesi ağızları, köklü geçmişi ve bölgede yaşayan halkın sosyal yapısı nedeniyle oldukça zengin bir dil ve kültür çeşitliliğine sahiptir. Bu bağlamda, ağızlar, yalnızca dil açısından değil, kültürel bir miras olarak da önemli bir değere sahiptir. Yazı dili yaratıldığı zaman farklı ağızlardan farklı oranda kelimeler alınmaktadır. Azerbaycan Türkçesi yazı dili yaratıldığı zaman da Bakü ve Karabağ ağızları esas alındığı için günümüzde konuşulan Azerbaycan yazı diliyle Azerbaycan’ın Batı bölgesi ağızlarının hem gramerinde hem de kelime varlığında çok farklılıklar görülmektedir. Bu farklılıklar ise şive ve ağızlarda olan eski dil özelliklerinin korunmasıdır. Bu sebepten de Azerbaycan Türkçesi Eski Türkçenin ve Oğuz ve Kıpçak dil grubunun özelliklerini kısmen de olsa yazı dilinde, daha çok ise konuşma dilinde hâlâ yaşatmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Azerbaycan yazı dilinde yer almayan ve yalnızca ağızlarda kullanılan kelimeler ön plana çıkarılmıştır. Yazı dilinde pek bilinmeyen ya da nadiren kullanılan, belirli bir bölge halkı tarafından bilinen ancak günümüzde unutulmaya yüz tutmuş sözcükler detaylı bir şekilde incelenmiştir. Bu inceleme, bölgenin kültürel ve dilsel zenginliğini ortaya koyarak, yerel ağızların önemini vurgulamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu kelimeler (Tanrı, ini, günüçülük, çıgan, anarı, küy, suçig, ırak, öğne, ağ, körk-görklük, yalın, yeg, yağı, yiye, yıgnak, yalaf-yalaf, yazı, bıldır-bıldır, bayımak, batman, beniz, boran, alçak, ağ, alçak, ongand, götin-götin gitmek, göygü, sıgtamak, biti, pay ülüş, öğne,). Çalışmada incelenen kelimeler “Orhun yazıtları”, “Dîvânu Lugâti’t-Türk”, “İbni-Mühenna Lûgati”, “Kitabü’l-İdrak Li Lisânü’l-Etrak”, “Kitabi Dede Korkut Hikayeleri’nden verilen örneklerle karşılaştırmalı şekilde değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmada ağızlarla birlikte, Azerbaycan Türkçesinin gelişim sürecine de değinilmiş, Azerbaycan Türkçesinin Batı ağızlarının genel özelliklerinden ve söz varlığından bahsedilmiştir. Çalışmanın amacı Azerbaycan Türkçesi ağızlarında korunan eski Türkçe kelimelerin unutulup kullanımdan düşmeden yazıya aktarılmasını sağlamak ve gelecek nesillere aktarmaktadır.

Undernourishment in North and sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Mayssa Hedhli , Leila Nasri , Fatma MRAD
Published: September 2024

Undernourishment has continued to occur globally in recent years; the spread of this phenomenon shows that inequalities, between and within countries, are increasing. After a good period of stability since 2015, the prevalence of undernourishment (PoU) dropped from 8.0 percent to 9.3 percent between 2019 and 2020, then increased at a less sustained rate in 2021, rising to 9.8 percent. The causal factors to eliminate or reduce its severity differ from one country to another. The causes of hunger in the countries of North Africa are: independence from food imports of primary products, loss of marine biodiversity, climate change (projected change in warm periods) and poverty in terms of available water resources cause while malnutrition or moderate food insecurity comes down to the lack of commitments in international conventions on the environment and the respect and enforcement of the law against trafficking in natural resources. The causal variables of these two phenomena in the countries of sub-Saharan Africa are identical.The great pressure that the population exerts on their environment and the enormous consumption of resources without having them protected, also the total deterioration of the agricultural sector and the Emigration to urban areas has greatly worsened the situation of hunger and malnutrition in these countries. The projects implemented to resolve these issues must be designed according to the causes identified in each country. In general, the reorientation of public support must currently be provided to strengthen the primary sector (food and agriculture), by implementing complementary policies relating to agri-food systems, promoting healthy food environments and providing consumers with the means to adopt a healthy diet.
Foreign Locals: Myth or Reality
Authors: Saleem Farida
Published: September 2024

Multinational corporations depend predominantly on staff from the country where their international operations are, yet more international business literature is needed to target these employees. The literature has referred to them as “host-country nationals” (HCNs), and this label gives them an individuality strongly related to their home country's culture. Caprar (2011) identified these HCNs as foreign locals. This study examines the impact of four cultural dimensions, i.e., power distance, masculinity vs. femininity, individualism vs. collectivism, and uncertainty avoidance, on employee’s perceived performance and innovativeness and how the foreign locals influence this impact as a moderator. Data were collected from Pakistani employees working in one Pakistani and one Norwegian-based MNE (multinational enterprise). The structural Equation Modeling technique using the maximum likelihood method was used for data analysis. Results show that foreign locals moderate the proposed relationships. These relationships are less stronger and/or insignificant for Pakistani employees working in Pakistani organizations and are significant and/or more-stronger for Pakistani employees working in Norwegian MNE.

This paper aims to determine whether there is evidence that gamified instruction can be effective in improving EFL students' academic achievement. The aim of the research is to establish how effective gamification is as a method against more traditional types of education and what areas of the English language—for example, reading comprehension, grammar, and vocabulary—are most effectively promoted via the integration of gamification into the classroom environment. The sample included 120 fourth graders from public schools in Jordan, where 60 children were to form the gamified instruction group and another 60 to form the standard instruction group. Pretests and posttests of English language skills using standardized tools measured students at two different times: before and after the instructional interventions. These tests are the main instruments utilized for data collection and analysis. Independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and one-way MANOVA tests were performed to test the variation and holistic impact of the instructional methods on different components of language learning. The experimental findings support that the gamified instruction group scored significantly higher than the regular instruction group at post-intervention. More specifically, the students of the game-based group scored an average of 74.44 (SD= 7.93) on the posttest, compared to 69.31 (SD = 6.14) for those of the control group. The result for the T-test yields t = 4.05 and p < 0.001, hence showing that the gamified group had significantly better results. The classroom gamification usage made noteworthy gains in students' vocabulary, grammar, and reading comprehension abilities. One-way ANOVA results were vocabulary, F = 22.65, p < 0.001; grammar, F = 15.78, p < 0.001; and reading comprehension, F = 18.93, p < 0.001. MANOVA supported this finding that the Wilks' Lambda value was 0.62, with an F-value of 20.45 and a p-value less than 0.001, indicating that gamified training was of benefit overall in enhancing English language competence. The results of this research come with a very exciting revelation, such as gamified instruction being an excellent means of teaching English as a foreign language since it enhances students' interest and performance in class.
Melting Process Investigation of KCl Salt as a PCM by Enthalpy-Porosity Simulation Model with Temperature-dependent Physical Properties
Authors: Hasan Muhammad Miqdad , Luthfie Alief Avicenna
Published: September 2024

Salt as a phase change material (PCM) in thermal energy storage (TES) can store solar thermal energy in the form of latent heat by experiencing a process known as the melting process. Recently, the melting process can be observed and investigated using an enthalpy-porosity simulation model. However, the use of enthalpy-porosity simulation model is still focused on constant physical properties, i.e., density and viscosity, of the PCM, and thus, the changes in the physical properties with respect to temperature during the melting process are not included in the simulation process. Therefore, this study aims to use the enthalpy-porosity simulation model with temperature-dependent physical properties of the PCM to investigate the melting process. The salt in this study is Potassium Chloride (KCl), and the computational domain is a concentric tube based on the assumption that the salt is fully contained within the computational domain. The physical properties of the KCl salt (density and viscosity) are set as functions of temperature to include the changes in the physical properties with respect to temperature during the melting process. The simulation results show that the melting process period is 450 s. In addition, the tendency of the melting rate, which is defined as the change in liquid fraction per unit time, is observed to decrease during the melting process. Compared with the constant physical properties of the KCl salt, the melting period of the KCl salt with temperature-dependent physical properties is observed to be shorter, with a deviation of 28.57%.

Heterogeneity and Spaces of Autonomy: Reasons for a Cohesive Struggle against US-Imperialism and Settler Colonialism
Authors: Liguori Pasquale , Capasso Matteo Omar
Published: September 2024

More than seven months aft er the Oct. 7 Al-Aqsa Flood, the mainstream media’s titanic effort for a mild, sweetened explanation of the immense crimes committed by the Zionists and still ongoing in Gaza continues. Forty thousand Palestinian deaths and total urban devastation in the Strip do not seem to be enough to shake the scruples of those paid by Atlanticism to produce information. More authentic signs of refusal and dissent from this order of things come from the massive university encampments opposing collaborative programs with Israel and expressing support for the indomitable Palestinian resistance.
The Logical Analysis and Practical Approaches of the Belt and Road Initiative and the Three Major Global Initiatives
Authors: Chen Jian , Tang Mengyuan
Published: September 2024

The Belt and Road Initiative, Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative and Global Civilization Initiative are international public goods developed and offered by China, and also important practices in building a community with a shared future for humankind. They have great value for theoretical research and significance for practical exploration. At the level of theoretical research, this article analyzes: the underlying logic of the initiative from a world perspective; clarifies the transcendence of Western capital-logic and the response to the objective requirements of the development of productive forces; clarifies the logic of the main body of the initiative from China’s perspective; and discerns the evolution and motivation of the role played by China in the activation of international public goods during the process of globalization, including ideas for the construction of a system of international public goods. At the same time, developments and changes in the world require the profound promotion of practice. Guided by theoretical research, the following practical approaches are proposed: China will reinforce the foundation of the Belt and Road Initiative; accumulate the strength of the three major global initiatives; and through research and development seek breakthroughs in updating international public goods. Therefore, China will continue to contribute Chinese wisdom and solutions to meet new challenges and solve new problems of humanity.
SEPLA MANIFESTO

Published: September 2024

After the Second World War and between 1945 and 1975, capitalism had managed to overcome all the pitfalls, and he was able to multiply loaves and fish by magic art. It was referred to as the Thirty Glory Years, in which, together with the objective of profit, the workers and popular struggle started improvements in income and working and living conditions of the population worker. That class struggle throughout the world and the bipolarity built between 1945 and 1991 established limits to the impunity of capital projects. In that frame, the reality and the law of value enunciated by Marx revealed the dynamic recurring of the crisis of capital, with a downward trend in profit rate in the 60s/70s in the 20th century and an accelerated capitalist offensive response with the fall of “real socialism” in Eastern Europe and the advanced liberalizing until the crisis of 2007/09 that lasts in our time.

The Relevance of WAPE’s Leading Role in Stimulating Academic Debate in the World
Authors: Filho Niemeyer Almeida
Published: September 2024

Since the crisis of the 1970s, we have all focused on showing that the contradictions of capitalism were worsening the social condition of life, configuring a structural crisis. Depending on the structural elements of analysis, it is possible to say that this crisis extends to the present day. In this case, the most relevant aspect is capitalism’s inability to recover post-war dynamism and, by extension, its failure to incorporate larger portions of national populations into its accumulation movement. The result is structurally higher levels of unemployment compared to the previous post-Second World War period and an increase in social exclusion in most of the periphery and even in the center of the global system.
National-Democratic Tasks in the Era of Imperialism
Authors: Gürcan Efe Can
Published: September 2024

On the centenary of his death, Lenin’s portrayal of modern imperialism remains highly relevant as imperialist interventions and neoliberal policies have dismantled state structures, eroded traditional welfare mechanisms, and fostered fragmented identities. In response, major Eurasian countries like China and Russia, along with Latin American left-wing movements inspired by national figures such as Simón Bolívar and José Martí, confront neo-imperialism and the “Three Evils” associated with Western-supported terrorism, separatism, and religious fundamentalism, which highlights the intertwined nature of national democratic and socialist tasks in today’s context. How did Lenin envision revolutionary strategy in the developing world? What is the contemporary relevance of his revolutionary strategy? How does Lenin’s intellectual legacy contribute to the theorization of national democratic tasks within the socialist revolution? Lenin’s emphasis on integrating socialist and national democratic tasks in revolutionary movements offers a strategic foundation for addressing the complexities of the imperialist era. Importantly, Mao’s notion of New Democracy builds on this Leninist framework by advocating for the centrality of national-democratic tasks to achieve both national independence and socialist transformation. In Lenin’s work, one could discern four basic tenets with respect to the integration of socialist and national-democratic tasks: 1) adopting socialism with national characteristics in order to understand a country’s unique economic and historical conditions; 2) building a broader national-democratic front to collectively overcome feudalism, absolutism, and capitalist-imperialism; 3) persisting in nation building with the aim of promoting rapid economic progress and modernization by consolidating national integrity; and 4) liberating the productive forces under a socialist market economy in order to accelerate socialist transition.
