广东“东盟战略”及其与新马的经贸合作

广东在中国与东盟的贸易中占有1/3左右的份额,而对这一领域的最新研究还较少,所以有必要从广东"东盟战略"的角度研究其与东盟的两大贸易合作伙伴新加坡和马来西亚的经贸合作.本文首先分析了近年广东与东盟的经贸关系,并在此基础上探讨了如何解读和践行广东的"东盟战略".接着重点分析了广东与新马经贸合作的表现与原因,探讨这种合作对广东与新马合作的意义.最后,在结论部分提出若干促进广东"东盟战略"和推进其与新马经贸合作的建议.     

广东—东盟贸易:成就、挑战与对策

凭借天时、地利与人和的条件,广东与东盟国家的贸易一直是中国-东盟贸易的中坚力量,特别是在中国加入世贸以及中国-东盟自由贸易区协议出台以来,广东与东盟国家的贸易突飞猛进,取得了长足的进步.但是,由于其他省份的主观努力、广东外贸的自我定位等因素,近年来广东-东盟贸易在整个中国-东盟贸易中的相对地位持续衰落.为此,作者提出了广东应具有东盟战略意识,发挥传统优势,抓住中国-东盟自由贸易区的商机以及注重"走出去"等政策建议,期盼广东-东盟贸易取得更大发展.     

东盟国家的“中国热”与我国的对策

东盟出现“中国热”,是南北、南南对话合作的产物和东盟自身发展的需要,是我国实行对外开放政策的重要成果之一。作者在对我国与东盟经贸关系现状进行考察和分析的基础上,提出并阐发了进一步发展我国与东盟各国经贸关系必须采取的贸易对策、投资对策、人才对策以及信息对策等。     

中日对东盟投资的比较分析

随着中国企业与东盟合作步伐的进一步加快,日本作为东盟传统的贸易与投资大国,已成为中国企业在东盟投资的主要竞争对手。本文试图通过对中国和日本在东盟地区投资的现状及比较优势进行分析,探索中国企业应如何发挥自己的优势,提升对东盟投资的竞争力,抓住目前良好的机遇,更有效地加快对东盟地区的投资。     

东盟区域经济合作的投资效应研究

在2002年东盟自由贸易区建成之际,学术界用各种指标深入分析了其贸易效应。但东盟发展的目标却是要成为一个具有竞争力的投资区。因而要更好地理解和评价东盟区域经济合作,必须对其直接投资效果也进行分析。本文通过回顾20世纪90年代以来东盟吸收FDI的变化,考察了东盟区域经济合作的直接投资效应,并重点分析了其投资效应不显著的原因在于其对东盟综合区位优势的改善不明显,并没有有效地提高东盟区域整体竞争力。     

欧盟与东盟经贸关系发展现状与前景

欧盟与东盟经贸关系发展现状与前景黄小芳欧盟与东盟国家经贸关系有着悠久的历史，也具有重大的影响。欧盟是东盟的第三大贸易伙伴，而东盟也是欧盟在亚洲的主要市场。近年来，这两大区域集团之间的贸易、投资及其他经济合作形式不断发展。在当今世界多极化和区域化日趋发...     

东亚区域整合的非对称结构与广东经济发展战略

在贸易和投资的带动下,东亚形成了区域生产网络,但网络内部存在各经济体对日本技术依赖和对美国市场依赖的结构性缺陷,在世界经济衰退中加剧了东亚各经济体结构调整的困难和危机传染的风险.广东地处我国与东亚板块的结合带,最为直接而敏感地深受其影响,故应从宏观上与东盟进行纵深合作、中观上深化粤港澳合作和微观上对中小企业进行分类指导,力求既能克服网络结构性缺陷对自身经济的负面影响,同时又有可能对其进行逐步的纠正,达到合作共赢.     

东盟特惠贸易安排:回顾与评价

东盟特惠贸易安排是东南亚早期区域经济合作中的一项主要内容。从1977年的《东盟特惠贸易安排协定》开始,东盟各国围绕商品关税减让等主要方法,对增加东盟区内的贸易往来作出了持久的努力。本文回顾了东盟特惠关税安排的缘起与发展,分析了该项目所取得的成就与问题,并从东南亚区域经济合作整个发展史的角度评价了东盟特惠贸易安排的历史地位与意义。     

“一带一路”贸易投资指数:进展、挑战与展望

"一带一路"倡议涵盖了政策沟通、贸易畅通、设施联通、资金融通、民心沟通等五大方面,其中,贸易投资是"一带一路"互联互通合作的重中之重。为了量化沿线国家贸易投资互联互通水平,文章构建了"一带一路"贸易投资指数指标体系,覆盖贸易投资水平、贸易投资设施、贸易投资环境等3个一级指标以及9个二级指标。2016年度总体得分情况反映了中国与"一带一路"沿线国家整体贸易投资合作的程度,即总体上处于合格水平,并呈现整体水平偏低、发展不均衡、竞合关系复杂等特征。鉴于此,文章提出若干政策建议:推动区域物理、市场和体系多维连接;突破贸易投资合作的短板和瓶颈;着力解决贸投设施"联而不通、通而不畅"问题;共同优化和完善"一带一路"贸易投资环境等。

日本研究开发投资现状与存在问题及启示

本文研究发现，在“科技立国”政策背景下，日本研发投资居发达国家首位，但全要素生产率增长率有所下降。其根本的原因是日本研发投资成果没有得到有效利用，最终造成研发投资成果质量水平较低、专利市场的占有率有下降趋势、高科技产业附加价值收益、国际市场份额及贸易收支比下降等问题。应采取强化基础研究、充实对服务业的研究开发、发挥大学和政府的作用、推进企业、大学及政府协作、强化国际合作、确立和保护知识产权和强化知识管理等措施才有可能改变其被动局面。     

亚太经合组织中区域利益和成员利益的冲突与协调——APEC成立十周年回顾与展望

亚太经合组织（ＡＰＥＣ） 是区域利益的代表。作为成员利益的集中体现,ＡＰＥＣ 的区域利益主要由贸易投资自由化和经济技术合作两大部分组成。由于发达成员和发展中成员在以上两个方面有不同的利益追求,ＡＰＥＣ 中区域利益和成员利益一直存在着冲突。在过去的十年中,贸易投资自由化和经济技术合作的不平衡发展使这种冲突逐渐表面化。展望未来,ＡＰＥＣ 的持续发展有赖于成员经济体享有充分灵活性的基础上,通过协商一致,处理好发达成员和发展中成员的利益分歧     

Central Asia and Xinjiang,China: Emerging energy,economic and ethnic relations

On an energy‐equivalent basis Central Asia is predominantly a gas producing region, with Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan contributing substantially to the regional total. Kazakhstan is the primary oil producer in the region. Xinjiang, one of the poorest areas of China, is noted for its vast oil, gas and coal resources, though still largely undeveloped. As a means of facilitating economic development and prosperity in Central Asia and nearby Xinjiang, officials are promoting trade and investment among the countries in the region. This paper examines emerging economic relations within Central Asia and Xinjiang, with a focus on the lucrative oil and gas sectors. Importantly, the cooperation is being influenced by centuries‐old cultural and ethnic ties.     

Afghanistan reconstruction in regional perspective

The reconstruction of Afghanistan is in part dependent upon the reintegration of Afghanistan into the international community. Reintegration, in turn, is dependent upon Afghanistan's trans-border infrastructure of communication, trade, transport, water, power and investment. Accordingly, increased regional economic cooperation is a key element of Afghanistan's reconstruction. This article analyses regional economic cooperation in the South and Central Asian region in terms of logic, institutions, actors, and expectations. The article argues in favour of inclusiveness to enlarge the number of beneficiaries of economic benefits of regional economic cooperation while avoiding the pitfalls of risky strategies of faulty collective action.     

China’s environment: Foreign trade and investment and international organizations

Not only is China’s environment in decline, but China’s contribution to global environmental deterioration is significant. Because of the global implications of China’s environmental pollution, international action is needed. Foreign trade and investment should be encouraged to incorporate environmental concerns and technology transfer, especially in the area of energy efficiency. Continued and enhanced international cooperation as well as loans and investment through international and regional organizations should also contribute to improving China’s and the global environment. Finally, China should assist in this process by continuing domestic economic reform and the open door policy. Environmental and economic benefits will result from efforts in these three areas.     

The Korean experience in FDI and Sino-Korean relations

The possibility of regional cooperation in the Yellow Sea Rim (YSR) area has been discussed since the early 1980s. In recent years, Korean outbound foreign direct investment (FDI) has increased rapidly and it will be growing much further. In the new phase of the global economy and the post-cold war political environment, Korean firms consider the socialist countries, especially China, to be attractive new partners for trade and investment projects. Foreign investment contributed to economic growth in developing countries. In the early stage of industrialization in the 1970s, the share of foreign firms amounted to about one-tenth of the total manufacturing employment in Korea. Similarly, outbound Korean FDI could also play an important role in the industrialization of the LDCs in Southeast Asia and China. A case study of a Korean multinational corporation reveals that the direct employment effect of Korea’s FDI is extensive in terms of money invested. In spite of the complementarity in economic structure and the phase of development between Korea and China, the prospect of Korea’s outbound FDI is not all clear. However, one can safely assume that the unit scale of FDI projects will increase. Unlike in the past, the large Korean corporations are now preparing more than a few fair-sized projects in China. The positive impact of those FDI will be significant. The YSR cooperation, if successful, could create efficient economic cooperation based on complementarity between Korea and China. The Korean outbound FDI would pave a road to such regional cooperation. This article is the revised version of a paper prepared for the International Conference on Regional Development in the Yellow Sea Rimlands, held February 18–21, 1991. The conference was cosponsored by the Korea Research Institute for Human Settlements, the State Science and Technology Commission of China, and the East-West Center of Honolulu, Hawaii.     

Leveraging South–South cooperation for Africa's development

Optimising the development opportunities presented by emerging powers' growing interest in trade, investment and diplomatic engagement in Africa seems a priority for the continent in the context of a changing global system in which power is more diffuse. Taking into account a reconceptualisation of aid effectiveness as development effectiveness, this paper focuses on the manner in which African states understand and approach new opportunities for cooperation with emerging powers, especially China, India and Brazil, including the crucial issue of whether they seek joint development initiatives with both traditional partners and emerging powers. The central argument is that South–South cooperation, which is value-neutral although rhetorically reflecting the principles of solidarity and mutual benefit, must be part of an effective strategy to draw emerging economies into the national or regional development objectives of African states and the continent at large.     

Economic cooperation and integration in East Asia

Recent developments in the relationship between East Asian countries and prospects for further cooperation are discussed, together with analysis of the driving forces for proliferation of free trade areas (FTAs) and preferential trade arrangements(PTAs), as well as the different types of arrangements. The evolution of the key features of such economic cooperation agreements are outlined and the challenges and issues facing more extensive East Asian economic integration are reviewed. The paper concludes with recommendations for bringing about a viable, effective East Asian economic community that will benefit member countries and contribute positively to global trade.
