2014年中国在东南亚地区领事保护状况、问题及改善对策研究

2014年可称得上是在东南亚地区的中国海外公民频遭突发事件的一年,马航MH370事件、上海女游客被劫持事件、越南暴力打砸中资企业事件等使东南亚地区安全形势严峻,对中国领事保护工作提出了严峻挑战。在一带一路战略的大背景下,中国与东南亚各国的经济、贸易、文化等领域的合作往来将进一步加强和深化,而由于政治局势、恐怖袭击、社会治安问题、排华反华、自然灾害等风险因素的存在,中国海外公民的人身安全仍面临重大威胁。本文梳理总结了2014年东南亚地区中国海外公民遭遇的主要安全事件,结合2014年东南亚地区的安全形势和中国领事保护工作的现状,分析存在的问题,提出相应的改善对策建议。     

国际海洋法实践的若干观察与思考

1982年《联合国海洋法公约》的诞生使国际上的海洋法实践开始走上规范化的轨道。但是,由于各国的“海情”有异,经济与社会发展的要求不同,在海洋法实践中遵循一个固定不变的模套是不可能的。本文试图通过对到目前为止各国进行海洋法实践的观察,提出若干规律性的思考,以加深人们对海洋法理论和实践的某些认识。

ABSTRACT

The United States was at least partly culpable for the failure of denuclearisation agreements with North Korea concluded during the presidencies of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush in the 1990s and early 2000s. American failure to implement commitments in a timely manner arose from a combination of domestic and presidential politics, the constraints imposed by international partnerships, and bureaucratic structures and procedures. For its part, North Korea implemented its commitments faithfully until its leadership’s increasing disenchantment with American tardiness and perceived lack of good faith.     

基督教原教旨主义与美国法律

美国学者约翰·H·加维是研究北美基督教原教旨主义神学理论及基督教原教旨主义运动的权威之一。在对基督教原教旨主义的宗教观、政治主张及其与美国现行法律的冲突进行深入考察之后,他认为基督教原教旨主义者最突出的特征是他们对《圣经》的虔诚并将其视为政治智慧的源泉,他们的观点虽然与美国法律有一定冲突,但并不主张恢复殖民时期马萨诸塞殖民地那种政教合一的政权模式。现将其主要观点摘介如下:一、基督教原教旨主义者的宗教特征(一)个人信仰的虔诚。基督教原教旨主义者提倡个人的宗教虔诚,其突出特征是一种“重浴再生”的思想突变体…

Microstates are unique participants in the international arena. Many of the world's microstates are located in the Pacific basin and are characterized by limited natural and human resources. Because they are so small and isolated, the Pacific microstates are frequently overlooked diplomatically in the larger, international system. Conversely, diplomacy is often their only effective instrument of statecraft for making an impact within the international system on issues critical to their national interests.

In contrast to the belief that the microstates are mere pawns in international relations, this text will view the Pacific microstates as active participants in diplomacy by exploring their involvement in two broad strands of Pacific Rim diplomacy: ? The political struggle between the People's Republic of China and Taiwan for influence in the Pacific region, diplomatic recognition, and support in the United Nations and other international agencies.

? Fishing issues between Japan, the microstates, and other regional powers as illustrated within the International Whaling Commission.

The article will show that reciprocity is the key concept and mechanism governing their diplomatic arrangements with Taiwan and Japan. The conclusion suggests two ideas for these microstates in dealing with their larger neighbors on the above issues, and summarizes their active, rather than passive, diplomatic role in Pacific Rim international relations.
