金砖国家崛起与全球治理体系

后金融危机时期的世界面临三大机遇同时也是三大挑战。其一,全球治理体系进入一个新阶段：美国提供公共产品的能力下降;联合国体系难以适应新的全球问题;传统大国和新兴大国开始共同设定全球治理的议程。     

国际货币体系呼唤全球治理

从匹兹堡峰会看国际金融体系改革的推进

如果说前两次金融峰会为国际金融体系避免系统性崩溃、世界经济避免全面深度衰退发挥了重要作用,2009年9月25日在美国宾夕法尼亚州的匹兹堡召开的二十国集团领导人第三次金融峰会,则重在引导全球经济实现持续稳定复苏,推动国际金融体制改革取得实质性进展。此次峰会在完善国际金融机构现行决策程序和机制、二十国集团地位等方面取得积极成效,但是国际金融体系改革整体推进仍旧迟缓,同时美元持续走软问题威胁到国际货币体系的稳定,影响国际金融体系改革顺利进行。     

"Global Civil Society" and the Political Depoliticization of Global Governance

Activists, officials, and academics alike have often linked observations about an emerging global civil society to an incipient democratization of world politics. Global civil society is assumed to bring public scrutiny and "bottom-up" politics to international decision making "from outside" formal political institutions. Based on an analysis of uses of the concept of global civil society in 1990s global governance discourse (especially related to the major UN world conferences), this paper argues that the presumed democratization of world politics is better understood in terms of a double movement: on the one hand, "global civil society" depoliticizes global governance through the promotion of "human security" and "social development"; on the other hand, the emerging international public sphere (in the UN context) operates as a subsystem of world politics rather than opposing the system from outside. Practices of depoliticization are thus part of the political logic of (neo-)liberal global governance. The argument draws on Luhmann's systems theory and Foucault's analysis of governmentality.     

蒙古国经济理论体系的发展与创新

自20世纪90年代初，伴随蒙古经济转型，西方经济学的一些新兴理论模式和分析方法日益为蒙古的经济学界所接受和推崇，并被应用于蒙古的经济改革实践，对促进其经济学理论体系的发展产生了一定影响。与此同时，如何加强对本民族经济发展史和思想史的研究，对本国经济运行做出自己的解释，解决经济学的“本土化”问题，成为蒙古的经济学界面临的一项新课题。     

Rebalancing the Global Economy

The United States accuses China of subsidizing its entire export economy through artificially undervaluing its currency. China accuses the United States of fiscal profligacy while flooding the world with easy credit to keep its economy afloat. This dispute reflects the reality that the world's two largest economies are built on opposite dynamics of production and savings vs. consumerism and debt. In Europe, the wages of unsustainable debt that financed the welfare state have also come due. Rebalancing the global economy in this context is not only a matter of fixing exchange or interest rates and extending the retirement age. It must also involve a recalibration of democracy in both East and West. Two Nobel economists, the Greek prime minister, a ranking Chinese economist and the former chief economist of the IMF address these issues.     

Global Capitalism and the Transformation of State Socialism

The article outlines the footprint of international economic interests under state socialism, and considers in more detail the economic integration of the postcommunist countries into the world system in the post-1989 period of the building of capitalism. The focus of the article is on the extent of economic globalization of countries and their economic corporations. It is contended that the globalization of capitalist companies and the direct role of global economic forces had little importance under state socialism. Since 1989, policy in the former state socialist countries has been geared to “joining” the world system, optimistically its core. Important differences have developed between the postsocialist states with respect to economic penetration and exposure to the world market. The outcomes have not fulfilled the expectations of early advocates of transformation and entry to the world economy. Although the new member states of the European Union have entered the world economy as formal members of the “core,” they are not economically equal to the dominant “old” members of the EU. In all the postcommunist countries, there is an absence of large scale global companies, of comparable levels of innovation, research and development. Russia is a resources rich country, a “hybrid” social formation containing elements of state economic control, national capitalism, and global capitalism. I conclude that the semi periphery is not a transient category in the world economy; it has potential for persistence and renewal.

Assessing Aid and Global Governance

This analysis argues for a system of global economic, social and political governance in which development aid is part of wider global redistributive mechanisms to foster social progress and development in the twenty-first century. The study provides two arguments in favour of setting up a new system of global governance, and the role of aid in such a new system. First, since in the current international economic system aid cannot cope with adverse external shocks, a new system of global governance is necessary in order to protect LDCs from the volatility of the international economic system. Second, it is argued that a new system of global governance is needed to improve redistribution at the global level to foster social progress and development.     

Global poverty and orthodox security

This article examines the way in which the discourses of security and development have merged in the past decade as an important strand of global governance. It shows why this merging of discourses has occurred and assesses whether the newly embedded security-development discourse provides adequate conceptual tools for understanding the causes of global poverty. It concludes by setting out three paths that emerge from this security-development discourse and suggests that the ontological and epistemological claims at the heart of this understanding of International Relations and global poverty serve to reinforce global hierarchies of social power and privilege.     

中国参与全球治理的地方支持——兼论长三角次区域的地方全球联系与责任

全球化时代的加速推进、全球性问题的凸显,以及中国走和平发展道路的实际需要,都促使中国参与全球治理。在这一进程中,中国地方为中国参与全球治理,提供了政治经济动力、建制经验与智力支持。长三角次区域作为中国沿海三大经济区域之一,其突出的地方全球联系促进了区域内经济社会发展,并承担起国际组织落地、国际社区形成、国际智力开发以至分散外交压力等责任。随着改革开放的深化,中国外交既需要国际制度的内化,也要有央地关系的优化,以实现对外关系和国内发展的相互促进。     

Global capitalism and major corporations from the Third World

Most major transnational corporations (TNCs) are domiciled in the First World and are owned and controlled largely by citizens of these countries. On the basis of an analysis of the largest corporations outside the USA by revenues published annually by Fortune magazine since the 1950s, this paper demonstrates that there have been major corporations from the Third World for decades. Most of the literature on Third World TNCs concentrates on the large number of relatively small companies that have operations abroad in low technology sectors. The argument of this paper is that systematic study of major corporations from the Third World is important for debates about the national bourgeoisie, comprador capitalism and the controversy that currently surrounds the contentious concepts of the developmental state and globalization.
