Explaining the Change in China's Attitude toward UN Peacekeeping: a norm change perspective

China's attitude towards UNPKOs has experienced two shifts since the 1980s. One is about changing from non-financial-support, non-voting, and non-participation concerning peacekeeping to financial-support, voting, and participation in 1981. The other shift concerns China's gradual change in its attitude toward non-traditional peacekeeping over the 1990s. This paper provides a norm perspective on the issue. Specifically the author argues that China's attitude toward UNPKOs changed as a result of the change in international norm from prioritizing sovereignty to prioritizing human rights, and the diffusion of the norm of human rights into China through a variety of agents such as foreign policy elites and two special groups of PLA officers.

China's Private Economy:Challenges and Solutions

For the first three decades of the People's Republic, the Chinese economy consisted solely of state-owned or collectively owned enterprises.The emergence of private businesses following China's reform and opening-up in 1978 ushered in a private economy that has since grown to account for up to 50 percent of the country's GDP,70 percent of its jobs and 30-40 percent of its tax revenue. However,2008 has been a challenging year for China's private enterprises,particularly small and medium-sized ones,as rising labor and raw material costs,the appreciation of the RMB,and a downturn in exports caused by the U.S.sub-prime loan crisis have combined to drive some out of business,and to lead others to shift from conventional manufacturing to technology-intensive production.     

价值视阈中的政治认同：一个基本的分析视角

目前学界对政治认同的研究主要采用利益分析法,但利益分析方法面临认同客体性与主体间性的冲突、理性与情感层面的碰撞、多元利益博弈、＂承认的政治＂等的挑战。本文认为,价值是政治认同的核心变量,多元价值冲突是现代政治认同困境发生的根本原因。政治认同困境的消解呼唤社会核心价值观的重构,而政治认同归根结底是对社会核心价值观的认同。因此,从价值视角审视政治认同有利于对传统政治认同分析路径的反思,对于政治认同重构提供了方法论的意义。

Shaping China's Energy Policy: actors and processes

This article develops an analytical framework for examining China's energy policy-making processes, and uses it to explain the recent shifts in the country's energy priorities. The authors analyze the decisive factors in China's energy sector reforms by looking at the different stages from agenda setting, through policy choices, to decision making and implementation. The article attempts to identify the actors behind, the drivers for, and the constraints to, the progress of energy sector reforms in China since 1993 and to follow the evolution of these drivers and constraints. This will allow a better understanding of the possible future trends of energy sector reform, the institutional limits to policy change and the constraints to implementation.

China's Move to Preferential Trading: a new direction in China's diplomacy

China was a latecomer to the preferential trading bandwagon that has swept East Asia in the years since the financial crises. The Chinese government was unwilling to go down the path of negotiating bilateral and minilateral agreements until the terms of its accession to the World Trade Organization were finalized. Since then, it has become one of the most active participants in the negotiation of preferential trading arrangements, currently being engaged in negotiations with more than 20 countries. The paper will address the following questions about China's move to preferential trade: (a) What forces are driving China's approach to the negotiation of preferential trade agreements? (b) To what extent is it possible to untangle economic and political motivations in China's choice of partners for PTA negotiations? And, which economic interests are being pursued most aggressively? (c) How are conflicting domestic interests reconciled in the policy-making process? (d) To what extent will the new PTAs facilitate Chinese-dominated production networks in the regions? (e) What overall impact will the PTAs have on the Chinese economy?

财政与我国金融稳定关系初探

金融稳定的公共产品特性和金融危机的负外部性决定了财政应当在维护金融稳定中担当重要角色。我国财政部门在推进金融体制改革和化解金融风险方面发挥了积极作用,但也存在着职责界定不清、缺乏制度化安排以及职能缺位等问题。为适应金融危机后建立健全系统性金融风险防范预警体系和处置机制的现实需要,有必要进一步充分发挥财政部门的作用,包括建立和完善跨部门的金融稳定协调机制、强健国家财政、实行跨境资本流动税收调节机制以及建立金融稳定准备金等。     

China's consumer revolution: The 1990s and beyond

Since 1980 China's economic revolution has enabled more households to allocate labor to market‐related activities to earn more income. In 1992 an even greater surge in market economy growth took place when urban households began abandoning state‐related occupations and took their chances in the marketplace. The increase in consumer spending that followed reflects a new pattern of household spending for the first time in China since 1949: the share of spending for food relative to spending for other categories of goods and services is fast declining. This new trend, already strongly evident among high income‐earning households, is rapidly being replicated by other households as their incomes rise. During the 1990s new consumer patterns have emerged in the cities of the coastal provinces that strongly indicate that a consumer revolution is under way. This revolution has revived traditional gift‐giving between the Chinese people, thus facilitating the strengthening of their social, economic, and political ties and encouraging people to emphasize social and political stability.
