中俄东部毗邻地区合作振兴与开发对策研究

中俄先后提出两国东部毗邻地区经济振兴与开发战略，为双方通过互动合作实现振兴与开发提供了难得的历史机遇，尤其是2009年9月中俄两国正式批准了《中国东北地区与俄联邦远东及东西伯利亚地区合作规划纲要（2009--2018年）》（以下简称《中俄地区合作纲要》），为两国东部毗邻地区开展经济合作及相互投资指明了方向。     

中俄东部区域合作研究综述

中国和俄罗斯互为最大邻邦,发展区域合作拥有不可比拟的地缘优势。21世纪以来,随着世界经济一体化程度逐步加深和中俄两国经济的快速增长,双方规模化多领域的区域合作开始发展起来。中俄毗邻地区经济合作一直是两国政界、学术界关注的重点,特别是2009年《中国东北地区同俄罗斯远东及东西伯利亚地区合作规划纲要(2009—2018年)》(以下简称《规划纲要》)签订以来,中俄东部区域合作成为两国关系研究的热     

西伯利亚联邦区经济开发与中俄区域合作

西伯利亚联邦区是俄罗斯东部大开发的重要组成部分,也是俄罗斯与中国经济合作的重要战略基地。俄罗斯政府一贯重视西伯利亚经济开发并给予政策支持。中国应积极参与西伯利亚承接的2009年《中俄合作规划纲要》项目,从中寻求中俄经济合作的新空间,以更好促进中俄双方的共同发展。     

中俄《规划纲要》的实施与辽宁对俄科技合作的路径选择

经过多年的努力,辽宁与俄罗斯的科技合作取得了一定进展,但与东北其他省区以及山东、广东等省相比,辽宁对俄科技合作相对滞后。2009年9月中俄地区合作《规划纲要》将建设和发展中俄科技合作园区作为中俄地区合作的主要内容之一列入其中,为辽俄科技合作提供了新的发展机遇。辽宁应切实重视并提高俄罗斯在辽宁对外科技合作中的地位;以《规划纲要》为契机,大力推进辽宁省中俄科技合作园区的发展;进一步完善对俄科技合作平台建设;加紧培育对俄科技合作人才队伍;在加强对俄科技合作的同时,拓展与独联体其他科技大国的合作。     

建立东北地区对俄合作协调机制的必要性及可行性分析——基于俄罗斯远东国际合作地区协调机制的经验

2009年9月中俄两国首脑正式签署了《中国东北地区同俄罗斯远东及东西伯利亚地区合作规划纲要(2009～2018)》。自此,我国东北振兴与俄罗斯东部开发互动合作进入实质性的实施阶段。在制定和落实中俄地区合作发展战略的诸多工作中,政府管理协调机制起着至关重要的作用。目前,除了国家发展改革委员会东北振兴司负责政策制定和统一规划、协调沟通之外,东北地区缺乏地区性对俄合作的协调机构,而长期以来的对俄合作中,形成的是各自为政、独自行动甚至是恶性竞争的不良局面。基于对俄罗斯远东国际合作协调机制经验的分析,当前亟须建立东北地区对俄乃至对东北亚国际合作的地区性协调机制。     

发展中国西伯利亚学的巨著──评徐景学教授的《俄罗斯东部经济研究》

利用俄远东开发机遇 推进辽宁对俄务实合作

俄罗斯从1996年开始对远东及外贝加尔地区进行中长期规划，经过2002年、2007年、2008年和2010年几次大的修改和调整，开发远东的目的由平衡区域经济发展和加强经济安全向融入亚太和保障经济可持续增长演进。由于俄远东开发与中国东北振兴时间同步、内外环境相似、地域毗邻，因此互为发展机遇。二者从互动到联动，从普通贸易到投资合作，使中俄毗邻地区合作越来越紧密。辽宁省作为落实《规划纲要》的实施主体之一，在中俄经济稳定增长和友好关系加深的大环境中，应借力东北四省区一体化平台，发挥自身优势，推进对俄务实合作。     

俄罗斯东部能源发展战略评析

东西伯利亚和远东对于俄罗斯的整体发展具有十分重要的地缘政治和社会经济意义。2009年11月13日,俄联邦政府通过的《2030年前俄罗斯能源战略》对其东部地区给予了特别关注,俄能源部门发展的5个战略性倡议中有4项直接涉及东部能源产业的长远发展问题。作为世界经济增长速度最快的区域,亚太地区是最值得俄罗斯期待的能源出口市场,俄参与亚太能源合作的程度主要取决于其东部地区资源开发的潜力。从目前情况看,双方继续深化能源合作的意愿与现实条件均已具备。从长远看,随着俄东部地区资源开发的步伐加快,以及一系列通往亚太国家的能源基础设施草案的顺利实施,俄罗斯必将在亚太能源安全保障方面发挥自己应有的作用。     

俄东部地区开发与中国东北振兴的互动发展

2003年,中国政府做出了振兴东北老工业基地的战略性决策。与此同时,俄罗斯政府将东部地区作为重点开发区域。中国东北老工业基地与俄罗斯东部地区毗邻,双方具有广泛开展交流合作的基础和条件。中俄毗邻地区同步开发,为两地的经济互动发展提供了极好的机遇。东北老工业基地的振兴为俄罗斯东部地区的发展提供了商机,有助于俄罗斯东部地区经济的发展。同时,俄罗斯东部地区也是东北振兴不可或缺的舞台,双方的交流与合作能够对东北老工业基地的振兴起到积极的促进作用。     

中俄农业台作前景广阔——中俄农业十大互补性探析

中俄两国农业具有广泛的互补性:(1)俄土地资源丰富,中国人均土地资源较少;(2)俄出现人口危机,农业劳动力资源匮乏,中国农业劳动力资源丰富;(3)俄近期是中国农机产品的广阔市场;(4)中国将长期进口俄罗斯钾肥;(5)明日的俄罗斯可能成为中国的粮仓;(6)俄将是中国园艺产品的长期市场;(7)俄是中国传统的茶叶市场;(8)俄将是中国猪肉和禽肉的主要出口市场;(9)中国将是俄罗斯牛肉和乳制品的主要出口市场;(10)中俄双方农业科技各具优势,互补互利,加强合作,可促进两国农业经济共同繁荣。中俄农业有着坚实的合作基础和美好的合作前景。目前中俄农业合作仍然存在一些限制因素,但是只要中俄双方都从战略协作伙伴关系的大局着想,从中俄睦邻世代友好的长远利益着想,这些问题都会在不断合作与理解的过程中逐步得到解决。     

Population, Prophets, Pensions, and Politics

As immigrant populations in Western welfare states grow at a faster rate than the native populations, whose birthrates have declined dramatically in recent years, Europe's tradition of democracy and tolerance is threatened. The reasons for the birthrate decline and the resultant aging of the native population are many and complex, but one important contributing factor is the pay-as-you-go pension system, which reduces people's immediate dependence on children. Moreover, the payroll and social security taxes that support the welfare state reduce the earnings capacity of men and women of the traditional age for having children, thus pushing down the birthrate. It is time to consider whether modern Europe's small-size families and high pensions are sustainable     

Terrorism,counter-terrorism,and critique: opportunities,examples, and implications

This article explores the parameters, value and limitations of different critical strategies for those dissatisfied with the contemporary politics of terror. It argues, first, that the prominent (counter-)terrorism paradigm – in which terrorism is approached as a ubiquitous and very specific security challenge meriting appropriately exceptional responses – is far more critiqued than we might anticipate. And, second, that such critiques – which can be found across political language, popular culture, everyday life, and beyond – employ distinct critical resources to serve varying ends. Reflecting on these, the article offers a new heuristic distinguishing five critical strategies which seek to: (i) repudiate; (ii) question; (iii) subvert; (iv) replace, or (v) deconstruct the prominent counter-terrorism paradigm. This typology, it argues, offers scope for optimism and strategic resources for those attracted to a critical terrorism studies project going forward.     

Norway,Spitsbergen, and America, 1905-1920

In the Spitsbergen treaty of 1920, Norway acquired sovereignty over the Spitsbergen Islands. Rather than Woodrow Wilson, the American president, the architects behind the treaty were Robert Lansing, Wilson’s secretary of state, and, behind the diplomatic scene, the mining investor, John M. Longyear. In 1906, Longyear established a mining company to exploit the coal deposits at Spitsbergen. He induced Congress, the State Department, and the White House to forge an American policy for the European Arctic, including the appointment of Lansing, an international lawyer, as a counsel in the State Department. Lansing was a leading expert on both international law and the lack of state authority at the terra nullius, Spitsbergen. In 1915, he became secretary of State and, at the Paris Peace Conference, decided American policy regarding the Spitsbergen question. This analysis shows how the outcome of the Spitsbergen question was a result of American mining interests, supplemented by Norwegian-American shared interests in conflict resolution based on international law.     

Pakistan,India, China,and the United States: Energy,Climate Change,and National Security

This article focuses on the interplay of energy, climate change, and national security issues in Southwest Asia, using the newer definition of “national security” to include energy security, economic development, and climate change, as well as traditional security focusing on the military aspects.     

Indigeneity,Ethnicity, and the State: Australia,Fiji, and New Zealand

This article draws on the politics of indigeneity to distinguish the claims of first occupancy from simple ethnic identity politics, illustrating that relative political marginalization in Australasia is not so much a function of minority status but of indigeneity itself. The politics of indigeneity's aim is to create political space for self-determination and a particular indigenous share in the sovereign authority of the nation-state itself. The Australasian states are compared with Fiji to demonstrate that the significance of historical constraints on political authority transcend the withdrawal of a colonial power and the restoration of collective indigenous majority population status.     

International relations in Malaysia: theories, history, memory, perception, and context

The article makes a preliminary survey of the teaching of internationalrelations (IR) in Malaysia. It starts by describing the originsof the field, and the emergence of an IR epistemic communityjoining both academia and government. This account is necessarilyderived from the experiences of the four most established Malaysianuniversities distinguished by length of existence and officialfavor. Subsequently, the survey would describe course contentand influences going into their design. The penultimate sectionswould attempt to place the evolution of Malaysian IR teachingwithin a historical context. This survey nonetheless concludesthat nationalist aspirations continue to remain a secondaryinfluence when compared with intellectual dependence upon theWest in the design of IR education in Malaysia.

Culture,liberation, and 'development'

Most of the socio-economic changes taking place in Africa and much of the South are externally driven. External agencies, often in league with the State, by-pass working people and do not involve them in the decision-making processes. Their economic approaches ignore people's cultures and their world view. This denies working people a creative capacity to adapt new techniques and knowledge to their own concrete reality. This article argues for the importance of the historical frame of reference and for the centrality of culture in socio-economic processes. The author argues against approaches which are not culturally familiar to working people.     

The roles of,and relationships between,expatriates, volunteers,and local development workers

This article reports on exploratory research based on interviews with expatriate and local aid workers employed by local and international NGOs in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Thematic analysis of the interviews found that personnel were placed in groups based on their job category – consultant, volunteer, or permanent staff – regardless of experience. These categories logically reflect each worker's pay level, purpose, and role, but they may also have an implicit power meaning which reinforces group differences and inhibits inter-group relationships. Relationship building was reported to be the most important factor contributing to the success of capacity-development initiatives. Four sub-themes were identified: communication, friendship, reciprocal learning/teaching, and confidence.
