越南与美国经贸合作发展的历程、现状与前景

自1986年革新开放以来,越南大力发展外向型经济战略,积极融入世界经济体系。1995年越南与美国正式建立外交关系,双方由过去的军事对抗转向全面经贸合作,两国关系翻开了新的历史篇章。近年来,越美双边经贸合作取得了令人瞩目的成效,双边贸易实现了快速增长,合作领域逐渐拓宽,合作层次不断提升。目前,越美双边关系已成为越南对外关系的核心。在WTO框架下,越南与美国的经贸合作关系将会得到进一步发展。     

落实共识，促进云南省与越南的经贸合作

一、云南省与越南经贸合作的新发展 云南与越南山水相连,有3个地州、8个县与越南的红河、莱州、老街三省接壤。双方的友好交往有着悠久的历史。中越关系正常化10年来,云南省与越南的睦邻友好关系与经贸合作不断发展。     

欧盟—南共市经贸合作:基础、动力与进展

本文主要采用历史分析的方法,基于历史与现实结合视角,探讨欧盟—南共市经贸合作的动因、进程与影响。经贸合作是欧盟—南共市战略伙伴关系的重要支柱。双方经贸合作具有良好的历史和现实基础,冷战结束后,在多方面动力的推动下,合作程度不断加深并迈向自贸新高地。在促进自贸合作的各种因素中,双方的经济利益与战略考量构成了最主要的驱动力。然而双边关系的不对称性以及一体化程度的差异,使得双方的利益诉求和政策目标不尽相同,由此导致自贸协定谈判进程充满艰难曲折。但欧盟和南共市克服困难最终达成了自贸协定,这既是双方历史合作的深化延续,也是当前国际政治经济形势剧烈变化背景下双方利益需求汇合所导致的结果,因此它不仅对双方意义重大,而且对世界政治经济格局也有重要影响。展望未来,由于依然存在着诸多制约因素和挑战,欧盟—南共市自贸协定的实施与双边经贸关系的发展或仍不会一帆风顺,但双方合作的大趋势不会改变。     

越南与中国台湾地区的经贸合作

自20世纪90年代以来,越南与中国台湾地区经贸合作取得了令人瞩目的成效,双方贸易实现了快速增长,合作领域日益拓宽,合作层次不断提升。二十年来,越南已成为中国台湾在东南亚地区的重要合作伙伴之一。在WTO框架体系下,越南与中国台湾地区的经贸合作将会得到进一步发展。     

“中国云南－越南经贸合作”国际研讨会综述

为进一步推进滇越经贸合作,在越南贸易部和云南省政府倡导支持下,越南贸易部贸易研究院与云南省社会科学院于2002年10月16～17日在越南河内联合举办了“中国云南——越南经贸合作”国际研讨会。这是继2001年6月在昆明举行“中越地区经贸合作研讨会”以来的又一次重要的双边经贸合作研讨会。双方代表在滇越经贸合作的成就、问题和今后的合作等方面取得了共识,对进一步推进滇越经贸合作提出了积极建议。     

吉林省与俄罗斯经贸合作的现状、前景与对策

吉林省与俄罗斯经贸合作，将进入相对稳定的发展时期。经过１９９５～１９９６年中俄双方经贸政策的调整和对边贸公司的整顿，中俄经贸合作已向国际惯例国际规范化靠拢。两国国家关系更加友好，已上升到战略协作伙伴关系，这种友好的国家关系必将推动双方经贸合作的进一步发展。俄罗斯远东地区经济协调会议已将中国确定为俄罗斯远东地区对外经济贸易合作的主要伙伴。我国已制定有关政策，将促进边境小额贸易和边境地区对俄经贸合作的稳定发展。吉林省应发挥地缘优势，大力发展与俄罗斯远东地区的经贸合作。     

莫迪政府时期印度与越南全面战略伙伴关系：新进展、驱动因素与局限

莫迪执政时期,为进一步推动印度与越南关系的深化,两国构建了更深层次的全面战略伙伴关系。在两国政府的积极推动下,印度与越南持续推进战略对话及经贸、防务、能源、疫情防控等领域的合作。印度与越南地缘政治诉求、经贸合作需求、企图利用南海问题制衡中国等因素推动两国全面战略伙伴关系发展。与此同时,印度与越南全面战略伙伴关系仍存在诸多局限：两国仍缺乏稳定的双边合作机制;印度外交战略的核心是以美国为首的西方大国,而非越南等东盟国家;两国关系受大国关系制约等。因此,印度与越南全面战略伙伴关系的地缘政治影响力仍然较为有限。     

中朝金融合作的驱动因素与对策分析

2000年以来,中朝双边经贸关系迅速发展,人民币跨境流动规模不断扩大,但双方金融合作滞后于经贸合作,制约了经济资源在两国间的流动和有效配置。加强金融合作应立足于中朝经贸合作的长远规划,加强中朝双方中央银行的沟通与合作;推动双方边境地区的金融合作;发挥双方银行结算主渠道作用;加强双方金融监管合作;以"两岛一区"经贸合作带动双方金融合作。     

梅德韦杰夫执政以来的中俄关系

梅德韦杰夫执政后,中俄关系发展始终比较平稳,两国在政治、经济、人文等领域的合作取得了重大进展.目前,两国关系正处于历史最好时期,双边关系发展已经比较稳定和成熟,但依然存在经贸合作不稳定、人文合作缺乏民间动力、俄罗斯民众对中国的快速发展存有疑虑等问题.今后,双方在考虑自身利益时,如能够兼顾对方利益关切,两国战略协作伙伴关...

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.     

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     

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.     

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.

Privatisation,multinationals, and corruption

Recent initiatives from the OECD, the World Bank, and others on the subject of corruption have received widespread attention. However, the author argues that the incidence of corruption is closely connected with contracting-out, concessions, and privatisation, where multinationals based in OECD countries stand to gain profitable business. The encouragement of privatisation by the World Bank, and the economic benefit to OECD multinationals from this business, mean that action against corruption needs to involve effective sanctions by developing countries against multinationals which engage in corrupt practices; greater political transparency to remove the secrecy under which corruption flourishes; and resistance to the uncritical extension of privatisation. This article looks at empirical evidence on this subject.
