Introduction to the Project Leader: Zhao Hailong, Professor and Doctoral Supervisor at the School of Archaeology and Museology, Faculty of History, Liaoning University. He currently serves as a Council Member of the Chinese Archaeological Society and Deputy Secretary-General of the Paleolithic Archaeology Professional Committee of the Chinese Archaeological Society.
Project Category: Key Project
Project Introduction: The Nihewan Basin is located at the northern end of the Fenwei Graben in North China and is known as the Oduvai Gorge of the East. It houses more than 40 early human sites dating back over a million years, representing the earliest record of Homo erectus migrating out of Africa and reaching northern China. Among these, the Shigou Site underwent five consecutive years of excavation. Dating back to 1.6-1.1 million years ago, it features extremely thick stratigraphic deposits, multiple cultural layers, and over 3,000 cultural relics. The fossils are well-preserved with clear traces, and the stone tools are made from diverse raw materials which come in various types. Additionally, there is a rare natural gully relic scattered with a large number of fossils and stone tools. The archaeological achievements at the Shigou Site are of great significance for the exploration of the environmental adaptation and survival strategies of early humans in northern China during the Early Pleistocene. Based on the archaeological excavation results, this research topic conducts studies from perspectives and core concepts such as quatenary mammals, zooarchaeology, pollen analysis, typology of stone artifacts and stone tool refitting research. It also analyzes microwear and the sources of stone materials through simulated experiments.

Project Category: General Project
Project Introduction: At present, China’s future industry development faces problems such as vague standards and specifications and lack of key core technologies. It is urgent to break through the development dilemmas of future industries through technological drive and institutional empowerment. The growth of future industries unfolds against the backdrop of a green and low-carbon future ecological system. Innovating green development models, alongside the new momentum of the digital economy is a key approach to building future industries. This project expands the theoretical interpretation boundary of the traditional economic paradigm of “policy regulation-industrial response” in the existing academic research on green transformation, and balances the conflicts between environmental regulation and innovation incentives. It explores the impact of different technology types at an urban and developmental level of future industries, breaks through the limitations of the current mainstream single analysis of data factors, and expands a new perspective of urban-level influencing factors for future industry research. It clarifies the response mechanism of future industries, which distinguishes them from strategic emerging industries and traditional industries, under the background of green transformation, providing a new path for the development of future industries.

Project Category: General Project
Project Introduction: Government procurement of services is an inevitable link between the development of emerging technologies and national governance innovation. However, the dynamic allocation of artificial intelligence services brings significant uncertainty shocks to government procurement of services. How to make public organizations more efficient, fair, and sustainable through government procurement of artificial intelligence services depends on the knowledge contribution of different subjects, knowledge interaction based on trust, and the knowledge allocation structure regulated by public organizations. This project constructs a “role-behavior-relationship” analytical framework, analyzing the subject structure and behavioral interaction logic of the government and artificial intelligence service providers in knowledge generation, use, and management, systematically constructing a knowledge production mechanism and its evaluation system, and exploring how institutional arrangements coordinate knowledge collaboration and risk governance among multiple subjects. The research aims to reveal the new characteristics of knowledge governance in public service outsourcing under the background of artificial intelligence, and provide theoretical support and practical solutions for improving intelligent governance capabilities and institutional supply efficiency.
Research Directions of the Leader: Marketization of public services, government performance management, digital government, governance and evaluation of non-profit organizations.

Project Category: General Project
Project Introduction: The national strategy for the digital economy has identified the market-oriented allocation of data elements as a core issue. China’s Twenty Guidelines on Data proposes a three-rights separation model, including the right to hold data resources, the right to process and use data, and the right to operate data products. However, the current civil enforcement system is still constructed based on the traditional theory of real rights, which conflicts with the non-exclusivity, replicability, and scenario-dependent value of data property rights in three aspects. The essence of the above conflicts is the structural disconnection between the new data rights system and the enforcement rules under the real right-obligation dichotomy framework in terms of subject qualification of the subject matter, ownership review, and value disposal. The research topic proposes a theoretical framework of decentralized enforcement, breaking through the constraints of real right jurisprudence, and constructing a decentralized gradient enforcement system. Through theoretical and institutional innovation, it fills the procedural law implementation gap of the Twenty Guidelines on Data, establishes a judicial guarantee loop for data elements, and serves the national strategy of building a unified national data market.
Research Directions: Her research field is civil procedure law, with a focus on the civil judicial system and the civil enforcement system.
Main Achievements of the Leader: She has presided over a number of provincial and ministerial-level projects, such as the Liaoning Provincial Social Science Planning Fund, the ministerial-level research project of the China Law Society, and the Liaoning Provincial People’s Procuratorate.

Project Category: General Project
Project Introduction: Promoting the dynamic coordination between the population age structure and the basic endowment insurance system is a core issue for achieving high-quality development of population and social security. Currently, the increasingly aging population age structure and the risk of imbalance between revenue and expenditure of the basic endowment insurance coexist, leading to a double imbalance in their sustainable development. In response to this, from the perspective of the long-term sustainable evolution of the mutual promotion and optimization of the population age structure and the basic endowment insurance system, this project promotes the improvement of the endowment insurance system through the rationalization of the population age structure, and at the same time helps optimize the population age structure by adjusting the endowment insurance system. It consists of a three-in-one research framework of theoretical deconstruction-model construction-path design, the systematic deconstruction of the dialectical relationship between the dual operation structure of the basic endowment insurance and the four-dimensional measurement system of the population age structure; designs a dynamic coordination model between the basic endowment insurance system and the population age structure; measures the coordination degree of the two and designs corresponding collaborative governance paths. The purpose of this project is to improve China’s population development strategy, strengthen the resilience of the basic endowment insurance system, and enhance the efficiency of mutual assistance and the function of income redistribution.

Project Category: General Project
Project Introduction: This project aims to investigate the complex patterns presented in the process of Chinese Left-Wing Literature’s reception and evolution of Russian-Soviet literary theory in the 1930s and 1940s, identify the erroneous phenomena existing therein, explore the complex issues contained within, and reveal the underlying political, economic, and historical-cultural driving forces by combining the Chinese and Russian historical and cultural contexts. This research strives to break through the previous academic paradigm that focused on influence studies and, based on the ontology of Left-Wing Literature, focuses on exploring the complex patterns of the localization of Russian-Soviet literary theory in China from the perspective of reception studies. This research closely centers on core concepts such as the localization of Marxism in China, proletarian literature, the popularization of literature and art, and socialist realism, and provides a new interpretation of the issue of Left-Wing Literature’s reception and evolution of Russian-Soviet literary theory. This not only helps to further clarify the complex connection between Left-Wing and Russian-Soviet literature, but is also conducive to China and Russia, as well as other countries around the world, to learn from history and achieve further friendly exchanges and cooperation in politics, economy, culture, and other fields.

Project Category: General Project
Project Introduction: This research topic collects and collates the newspaper and periodical historical materials of the Anti-Japanese United Army (formerly the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army and the Northeast People’s Revolutionary Army) and the CPC Manchurian Provincial Committee (collectively referred to as the Anti-Japanese United Army Newspapers and Periodicals) from 1931 to 1945. From the perspective of discourse system construction, it summarizes the practical experience and theoretical contributions of the Anti-Japanese United Army Newspapers and Periodicals in the construction of the CPC’s Anti-Japanese War discourse system. The core concept is the CPC’s Anti-Japanese War Discourse System, which refers to a set of discourse expression systems constructed by the Communist Party of China during the Anti-Japanese War around the Anti-Japanese propositions, strategies and tactics, and the national united front, based on Marxist theory and Chinese revolutionary practice, to achieve the goal of the Anti-Japanese War. Based on the combat experience of the Anti-Japanese United Army Newspapers and Periodicals during the 14-year Anti-Japanese War, the research topic proposes the basic attributes of the CPC’s Anti-Japanese War Discourse System: it is a discourse system based on the historical facts of the Anti-Japanese War; it is a discourse system that adheres to the CPC’s cultural leadership and the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation; and it is a discourse system that can realize the organic connection between tradition and modernity. The research topic will leverage the advantages of digital humanities research methods to establish a relatively complete and systematic database of Anti-Japanese United Army Newspaper and Periodical historical materials, laying a solid foundation for deepening the research on the history of the Anti-Japanese United Army press and providing a theoretical basis for the construction of China’s discourse system in the new era.

Project Name: Research on the Construction of the Judicial Review Benchmark System for Risk Administration
Introduction to the Project Leader: Yu Han, Lecturer and Master’s Supervisor at the Law School of Liaoning University. He serves as an Assistant Researcher at the German Research Center of Beihang University and a Council Member of the Constitutional and Administrative Law Research Association of the Liaoning Law Society.
Project Category: Youth Project
Project Introduction: In a risk society, the functional positioning of administrative organs is undergoing a transformation from danger defenders to risk preventers. This role evolution not only means the expansion of national security protection functions, but also indicates that risk regulation needs to achieve a leap from formal rule of law to substantive rule of law. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to improve the national security legal system, which has become an important basis for the coordinated evolution of risk regulation and administrative rule of law. However, the traditional legality control model of order-based administration relying on the legal reservation-administrative law enforcement-judicial review framework is encountering structural shocks. In risk regulation, administrative organs have a certain scope of discretion and judgment due to scientific uncertainty, which means that courts find it difficult to conduct substantive review. Although existing studies have made technical revisions to the traditional judicial review model, most of them focus on the introduction of foreign experience. This research topic aims to construct a judicial review benchmark system for risk administration that conforms to the characteristics of China’s administrative litigation.
Research Directions: Administrative law.
Main Achievements of the Leader: He has published a number of academic papers in core journals such as Journal of Northeastern University (Social Science Edition), Forum on Science and Technology in China, and Henan Social Sciences.

Introduction to the Project Leader: Yang Fan, Lecturer at the School of Archaeology and Museology, Faculty of History. She undertakes courses such as Northeast Asian Archaeology and Introduction to Museology.
Project Category: Youth Project
Project Introduction: Based on the academic needs of constructing the national borderland history discourse system, this project takes the pottery artifacts unearthed in the capital area of Goguryeo as the research object and conducts a systematic archaeological study. The project aims to reveal how the Goguryeo society realized cultural identity and social integration through pottery-making and pottery-using systems based on material cultural relics, thereby providing empirical support for the research on borderland history and ancient governance. The project focuses on exploring three issues: firstly, the absorption and adaptation of advanced Central Plains technologies by Goguryeo in pottery-making processes, and the possible technological concentration phenomenon in official workshops; secondly, the establishment of an indicator system for distinguishing official and private workshops based on differences in clay composition, glaze standardization, and production scale; lastly, the exploration of the corresponding relationship between pottery-making technology characteristics and social stratification. This project provides important support for understanding the interaction model between borderland regimes and the Central Plains dynasties, the technology penetration mechanism of the borderland governance system, and the logic of social integration.
