New Approaches to Old Problems: Project in Four Central and Eastern European Countries

This case study of Partners for Democratic Change's Local Ethnic Conciliation Program in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia examines: different social psychological processes and perspectives for resolving ethnic minority-majority conflicts; the adaptation of a western conflict resolution model in Central and Eastern Europe; challenges and opportunities for strategic organic development of citizen-based initiatives; and the role of conflict resolution efforts in social change and civil society development in these Central and Eastern European countries. The study suggests a theory-based framework for evaluating interventions into ethnic conflicts and offers recommendations for future applied research and project development.     

新世纪俄罗斯与中东欧国家关系探析

苏东剧变后,俄罗斯与中东欧国家之间的关系先一度紧张,后有所改善。此后,中东欧国家先后加入了北约和欧盟。在此过程中和过程结束后,俄罗斯与中东欧国家之间在一定程度上仍然相互敌视,它们之间依然存在着一些矛盾,但是,如较少考虑外部因素的影响,仅从相互关系现实的各个方面来看,双方的关系正不断地加强。这既体现出俄罗斯外交越来越务实的特点,也折射出俄罗斯对外交战略层次的考虑。     

中东欧国家的罗姆人民族问题

A Probe into the Economic Growth Model of Central and Eastern European Countries

The Central and Eastern European countries are special transitional states. In the past 20 years, they have to realize the transition from planned economy to market economy on the one hand and, on the other, transform their own economic system in accordance with the requirements of the great unified market of the European Union so as to achieve economic integration.     

欧盟东扩对中东欧国家的负面影响分析

在研究欧盟东扩对东扩国的经济影响时 ,很多研究学者过分强调了东扩可能给中东欧国家带来的经济收益。本文认为 ,欧盟东扩是一个利益重新整合的过程 ,因此欧盟东扩在让中东欧国家受益的同时 ,也给其带来了很多负面影响。本文主要从欧盟现有政策中的共同就业及劳工政策、共同环境保护政策和共同农业政策等三个角度探讨欧盟东扩对中东欧国家可能产生的负面影响 ,并集中考虑东扩国今后应采取的发展策略。     

Economic Reforms and Ethnic Nationalism in the Context of Transition to Democracy: The Case of Four Eastern European Nations

The end of communism stimulated an increase of nationalism in east central European countries. It is argued that this resurgence of ethnic sentiments is a consequence of prior severe suppression during the communist rule. An important research question that arises is whether nationalism is compatible with the goals of democratization and economic reform that east central European countries set out to accomplish. This article explores the relationship between the choice of economic reforms and the use of nationalistic rhetoric as a mobilization tool. It proposes that the commitment made by any one government to liberal economic reforms is likely to be negatively correlated with the nationalism expressed in social policies. It analyzes the issue by constructing specific indicators reflecting levels for both economic reforms and nationalism embedded in social policies. The research includes four countries: Bulgaria, Slovakia, Romania and Ukraine, over a period of six years. Results lend support to the hypothesis that the commitment of a government to liberal economic reforms is associated with low levels of official nationalism.     

中东欧和独联体转型国家国有农地制度研究述评

许多独联体和中东欧地区国家转型后对农地所有制进行了变革,但并不彻底,还有一定规模的国有农地被保留。相应成立的土地基金等国有农地管理机构,通过出租、出售等经济手段对国有农地进行管理,目的是形成规模合理的农业生产单位,解决农业所有制转型后存在的土地碎片化和生产单位二元结构等问题,提高农业效率,促进农户生产和现代农业发展有机衔接。一些国有农地管理机构还担负着农村公共服务职能。本文的研究表明,通过农地所有权、承包权和经营权“三权分置”,确保租约稳定,完善配套的法律制度和土地交易制度,优化市场环境,对于提高国有农地的使用效率和增强土地利用的可持续性至关重要。

浅析中东欧国家与俄罗斯的异质性

中东欧国家与俄罗斯在文化归属、历史经历、经济基础和转轨模式方面存在明显的异质性.在某种意义上讲,正是历史文化和经济基础的不同造就了苏东剧变后中东欧国家与俄罗斯的不同发展道路,影响着它们的未来.     

中东欧国家经济增长模式初探

中东欧国家在政治、经济全盘西化的基础上实行以欧盟为依托,主要依靠外资实现经济增长的发展模式.这种模式对促进它们经济增长是有成效的.但金融危机凸现了其弊端及对中东欧国家的潜在风险.

转型国家的政治发展:中国与中东欧国家的对比分析

当代中国和剧变以后的中东欧国家同为转型国家,在政治发展的历史进程中背倚着共同的出发点,即苏联社会主义的政治模式,但是二者在政治发展的启动背景上面临的国内外环境,摆脱传统政治模式的方式,政治发展的路径选择和目标模式设定上截然不同,因此两种政治发展的实践效果差异也比较大,分别构成当今世界转型国家比较有代表性的政治发展的不同图景。     

浅论中东欧国家政治体制的欧盟化问题

中东欧国家在上世纪80年代末发生剧变后,开始了其体制转轨。经过10多年的发展,在政治体制方面出现了与欧盟原有成员国的模式接近并趋同的过程,即欧盟化的过程。这种趋同既有中东欧国家自身的原因,又有欧盟的驱动和压力,欧盟对于中东欧国家的欧盟化过程提供了帮助和支持。当然,中东欧国家与欧盟原有成员国的模式相比仍有较大的差距。中东欧国家既面临本身机制转轨的压力,又面临加入欧盟的压力。这种双重压力在它们入盟后仍将继续存在,并影响其政治体制运行的质量和在欧盟中的地位。     

中东欧国家加入欧盟进程:战略选择与政策调整

中东欧国家加入欧盟战略不仅意味着制度的模式选择,而且也意味着国家现代化和参与国际竞争的方式选择.目前,中东欧10国已经开始了加入欧盟谈判的进程,并按照欧盟设计的政治经济制度范本和法律框架进行整合和政策调整.为加入欧盟所做的准备,一方面加快了中东欧国家市场机制建设和与国际经济法律、惯例接轨的步伐,促进了经济开放和结构改革,另一方面也产生了一系列负面的影响,这些负面影响大都以经济问题直接反映出来,却隐含着深层次的社会政治矛盾.中国参与国际竞争的战略与中东欧国家不完全相同,但都要面对和解决许多相同的问题,研究并吸取中东欧国家与欧盟一体化进程的经验教训对中国如何应对加入WTO后所面临的各种挑战极具借鉴意义.

Regional energy cooperation in North East Asia: Lessons from the European Experience

The three major oil importing countries of Northeast Asia—China, Japan and South Korea—are concerned about future security of energy supplies to fuel their dynamic economic activity. Currently all three countries are highly dependent on imports of oil from the Middle East, a region with inherent political instability. Russia’s rich reserves of oil and gas in Eastern Siberia and the Russian Far East offer an obvious alternative. Given the geographical proximity of Russia and its desire to increase its energy exports to Northeast Asia, there is huge potential for cooperation. So far there has been no real intra-regional cooperation and no common external policy towards Russia. Despite obvious differences between Europe and North East Asia, the European model of energy cooperation, developed over the past 50 years, offers some useful lessons.
