'Golf ball diplomacy': Richard Nixon and Japan, 1969-74

Nixon was one of the first American politicians to advocate the building of a strong US-Japan economic alliance and the Nixon administration laid the foundation for the healthy post-Vietnam dialogue that the Carter and Reagan administrations cultivated with Tokyo. This article examines that foundation, and its contribution to the general post-World War II US-Japan relationship. Vietnam changed America, and it even changed the way a once arch-cold warrior, Nixon, viewed the significance of US-Japan relations. After years of Washington's scoffing at or ignoring Japanese interests, this American 'discovery' of Japan was an important development in itself. Hence, this article also examines a relationship in transition which, for Nixon's America, was an important first step in the construction of a post-Vietnam view of Asian/Pacific cooperation.     

Richard Nixon and Economic Nationalism in Latin America: The Problem of Expropriations, 1969-1974

During the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Nixon administration confronted the problem of how best to protect US economic interests in Latin America during a period of rising economic nationalism. After extensive debate, the president approved a policy designed to deter expropriations and rein in nationalist economic sentiment by threatening to terminate US and international financial assistance to countries that expropriated American holdings without prompt and adequate compensation. As it turned out, however, this policy was little short of a disaster. Nixon's stance heightened American unpopularity during a period when US credibility in Latin America was already on the wane, and failed to have any restraining effect on either the number of expropriations by Latin American countries or the strength of economic nationalism in the area. Informed by domestic and bureaucratic pressures and the same ideological proclivities that have long characterized American relations with the underdeveloped world, Nixon's policy on the expropriations issue ultimately proved ineffective and even pernicious to US interests in Latin America.

中国与GMS国家贸易结算障碍问题研究——以中国云南省为例

引言大湄公河次区域(the G reat M ekong Subre-gion,以下简称GM S)合作经过十余年的发展取得了一定的进展,现阶段合作领域主要集中在商品流通(有形商品贸易、劳务输出)和投资领域。但是,由于老挝、越南、缅甸和柬埔寨的人均国民收入低、购买力缺乏、经常项目逆差造成外汇短缺使贸易结算方式五花八门,各国贸易商和投资者被迫进入黑市进行货币交易,制约了经济合作的拓展。同时,由于这些国家货币币值的极不稳定,中国商业银行在境外设立分支行及代理行的积极性很低,客观上使跨境结算的方式受到制约,相互间的贸易与投资规模受到极大影响。目…

日韩老年人护理保障制度比较与借鉴

继日本2000年实施"护理保险制度"以来,2008年,韩国也公布实施了"长期疗养制度".韩国的长期疗养制度在吸取日本护理保险制度教训的基础上进一步完善了老年人护理保险制度.从参保人员或服务对象范围来看,韩国把参保对象扩大到全体国民,而服务对象却限定在重症老人上.从国家财政负担来看,在韩国,国家只负担全部财源的20%,而在日本,国家和地方自治体负担全部财源的50%.从管理运营体系来看,韩国采取中央集权主义方式;而日本采取的是地方主义方式.因此,对日韩老年人护理制度进行比较的基础上寻找适合中国国情的老年人护理保险制度显得尤为重要.     

Ideas and Influence: Scholarship as a Harbinger of Counterterrorism Institutions,Policies, and Laws in the People's Republic of China

Building on the linkages between scholarship and policy-making, the article suggests potential avenues for policy reform in China's current counterterrorism architecture.     

Not as bad as it seems: EU and US democracy promotion faces China in Africa

The rise of China in Africa is often described as a major challenge to the United States (US) and the European Union (EU) democracy promotion policies. China is accused of providing important volumes of loans, development aid, trade and investments without “political strings” attached, thereby undermining the US and the EU's possibilities to set material incentives for reforms. This article investigates Ethiopia and Angola as two cases where one would expect that the growing presence of China has made it more difficult for the EU and US to support reforms. Empirical findings presented in this article go against this argument. In both countries, the EU and the US face substantial difficulties to make the respective government address governance issues. However, the presence of China has not made it more difficult for the US and the EU to implement their strategies. Instead the empirical analysis suggests that domestic factors in Ethiopia and Angola, notably the level of challenge to regime survival both governments face, influence both governments’ willingness to engage with the EU and US.

贸易对中日韩经济周期协动性的影响研究

对中日韩贸易对经济周期协动性的影响进行分析,可以得出结论:双边贸易强度对经济周期协动性的影响取决于双边产业内贸易强度的大小。产业内贸易强度大,则双边贸易强度与经济周期协动性为正相关;产业内贸易强度小,则双边贸易强度与经济周期协动性为负相关。另外,中日贸易中纺织纱线等6种行业的贸易有助于提高经济周期协动性,而服装等2种行业的贸易降低经济周期协动性;中韩贸易中有色金属相关行业等6种行业的贸易有助于提高经济周期协动性,而塑料等2种行业的贸易降低经济周期协动性。

Involuntary Resettlement as an Opportunity for Development: The Case of Urban Resettlers of the Three Gorges Project, China

The restoration of livelihoods in the event of involuntary resettlementis commonly based on providing compensation to those who aredisplaced. This policy has led to a series of horror stories.For this reason, it is proposed that by conducting resettlementas a development project in its own right, the performance ofresettlements can be improved and the benefits will accrue tothe local population. The Three Gorges Project on the YangtzeRiver is the first project in China in which the policy of resettlementwith development was translated into practice. This paper usesthe results of a survey of urban resettlers in two countiesto demonstrate that development policies have been unevenlyapplied across the Three Gorges Region and that in some countiesthe policies have had some success in maintaining and raisingthe incomes of resettlers.

中国与亚洲地区主义

相对于一个制度化、一体化程度更高的欧洲来说，传统的亚洲是制度上欠发达的。然而，近来亚洲正在发生变化，且已经历了一个充满生机的成长、发展和区域合作的过程。自亚洲金融危机以来，亚洲的区域合作获得了动力和活力，且已成为整个地区转变的催化剂，在这个转变过程中，中国扮演了一个积极和建设性的角色。正在变化着的中国，同东盟和其他国家一起，大大加强了亚洲变化的趋势，并影响着它上升的轨迹。     

中、日、韩在美国市场上的竞争性分析

应用显性比较优势指数(RCA)和斯皮尔曼等级系数测量1999-2003年中、日、韩3国在美国市场上的竞争情况及其变化发现,从总体上讲,中、日、韩3国在美国市场上存在竞争,而且中国和日本、中国和韩国的竞争有不断加剧的趋势,日本和韩国的竞争性虽有不断下降的趋势,但总体竞争性还是比较强。3国有比较优势的产品都集中在工业原料和制成品上,但在产业内部3国间的互补性还是存在的,所以建立自由贸易区对3国都有利。
