At the Movies: A Continuing Dialogue on the Challenges of Teaching with Film

As part of ISP's ongoing effort to provide a scholarly venue for the exchange of ideas on a variety of topics, this issue's ISP Forum presents one set of reactions to the February 2001 article by Lynn Kuzma and Patrick Haney titled "And Action . . . ! Using Film to Learn About Foreign Policy" (February 2001:33-50). Vincent Pollard's comments represent what we hope will be the first in a series of comments on teaching international studies with film. Profs. Kuzma and Haney in their rejoinder urge for an ongoing discussion of the topic, as they see the use of film growing in the field. More broadly, the Editors of ISP invite readers to submit their own comments and reactions on this and other pieces that appear within the pages of ISP. Please note that all submissions undergo a peer review process.

The Rise of the Far Right in Europe and the Refugee Crisis

The rise of the far right in Europe has captured the attention of the international community in recent years.Its specific features are:an unprecedentedly strong influence,an obvious trend towards the moderate line,horizontal collaboration to expand its reach,and a very adept use of social media networks.The refugee crisis has given the far right an historical opportunity.The rise has also had a profound effect on European politics;it has deepened the political divide inside EU member states,and shaken up the traditional political values and the foundation of the union.The rise of the far right will likely not change Europe's political landscape,but problems of EU governance over its handling of the refugee crisis cannot be ignored.     

日本对能源危机的应急管理——以第一次石油危机为例

日本面对战后第一次国家危机,先是组建应急管理机构,以此为基础,从行政号召、政府指导和法律管制等层面制定了诸多措施,并很快形成了具有"防火墙"作用的应急管理体系。该体系为调整危机状态下的国家权力、公民权利以及国家权力与公民权利之间的各种能源经济关系,充分发挥行政、法律对社会无序状态、紧急状态的防范和矫正功能起到了关键性的作用。在应急危机管理中,日本政府所发挥的6大能效,也为日本从无预防性的应急管理向未雨绸缪的预防管理转型提供了极为宝贵的心理储备、经验借鉴和制度遗产。     

Sovereign Debt Crisis in Euroland: Root Causes and Implications for European Integration

This article considers the likely impact of the global crisis on the prospects for the European project. First, it considers the nature of the current crisis. It argues that it is comparable, in terms of its deep structural character, to the one in the 1930s. The crisis manifested itself first in the financial sector, but was caused by underlying problems of overaccumulation, which explains the succession of speculative booms and busts from the 1980s onward. The article then analyses how the financial crisis transmuted into the current sovereign debt crisis in Europe. It identifies a number of interdependent factors responsible for this: the bailouts of banks following the credit crisis; the stimulus programmes necessitated by the danger of a deep economic recession; the structural problems of the European Monetary Union leading to the accumulation of debt in the peripheral members; and finally the catalytic action of speculation in the financial markets. Finally, the article discusses responses to the debt crisis, outlining the contours of two alternatives (muddling through and Europeanisation), their implications, and some of the conditions for success. The conclusion is rather pessimistic: chances that an effective, timely and sustainable solution will be realised do not seem high.     

Terrorism and Counterterrorism: An Integrated Approach and Future Research Agenda

In this commentary, we make the case that the analysis of terrorism and counterterrorism must be based on an integrated theory that links both issues together. Terrorist groups’ ultimate goals must be distinguished from their strategic goals and the strategic logic by which they employ terror and select targets to further their ultimate goals. The strategic logic of terrorism is thus key to understanding patterns of terrorism and the counter-reaction by governments against it. We make the case for a unified approach and suggest major areas for future research.     

Engaging International Data in the Classroom: Using the ICB Interactive Data Library to Teach Conflict and Crisis Analysis

The challenges of teaching quantitative research methods in international relations are well documented. The key to igniting interest and engaging students lies in creating a participatory learning environment in the classroom. This article discusses these challenges and describes a new piece of software that may be helpful in that regard. The ICB Interactive Data Library , or the ICB Library for short, enhances access to the information available in the ICB data by organizing it into an interactive software package (Brecher, Hewitt, and Wilkenfeld, 2000). The ICB Library is an especially valuable teaching tool because it allows students to easily access the resources from a major data collection project which, in turn, exposes them to the challenges and opportunities offered by quantitative research in international relations. After describing the ICB Library , this article will discuss how it can be used in the classroom via problem-based learning techniques.     

后金融危机时期中日韩货币合作研究

后金融危机时期,基于共同利益的需求,东亚货币一体化成为一个不可逆转的发展趋势。中日韩3国货币合作在东亚区域货币一体化过程中起着至关重要的作用。3国货币合作具有经济基础:3国经济力量雄厚,产业结构和资源互补性强,贸易增长迅速,汇率波动差异趋小,货币政策方向也渐趋一致。计算3国货币合作的OCA指数表明,与危机前相比,3国进行货币合作的成本已经有了明显改善,3国2011年的OCA指数与1995年欧洲各国与德国间的OCA指数相近,这表明与当初的欧盟相似,3国已具备进行深入货币合作的条件。人民币和日元的协调与合作对3国货币合作具有重要意义和现实基础,中国应谨慎而积极地分阶段推进人民币国际化进程。     

应对金融危机:从比较中看俄罗斯经济的转型与发展

1998年和2008年的两次金融危机俄罗斯都没能幸免。两次危机中,虽然诱因不同,但俄罗斯均表现出了股市下挫、银行遭遇流动性危机、卢布贬值等特征。就危机前的宏观经济背景而言,两次危机期间都发生了国际原油价格的大幅下挫,但石油价格下降的原因、幅度及其对俄罗斯造成的影响却有所不同;两次危机都使俄罗斯受负债拖累,但1998年以主权债务为主,而2008年以企业债为主。从根本上来讲,两次危机都暴露出了俄罗斯依靠油气收益和外国低息贷款来发展经济的致命弱点,并且显示出近十年的经济转型与发展尚未从根本上改变其经济结构和发展模式。通过两次危机的对比,也再次证明市场经验不足的转型与发展中国家一定要慎重对待金融的开放与自由化。     

当前俄罗斯银行体系发展战略评析

面对金融全球化和金融自由化的浪潮,转轨国家不断调整其金融开放政策,特别是制定开放条件下的金融发展战略成为转轨国家最为重要的过渡安排.俄罗斯银行体系发展总体呈现趋好态势,然而直到目前,一系列内外因素依然抑制俄罗斯银行部门的发展.尤其值得关注的是,俄罗斯银行体系稳定发展面临两个无法回避的问题的挑战:银行信贷扩张问题和银行的资本化比率提高问题,这也是俄罗斯制定银行发展战略必须考虑的问题.总的来看,2005-2008年,俄罗斯银行部门发展的主要目标是提高银行体系的稳定性和银行部门运行的效率;提高银行部门在经济中的作用也是国家制定银行战略的最重要的任务之一.     

中日两国人力资源管理特点的比较研究

随着我国加入WTO,国内企业面临外来企业的冲击,为了能在这种冲击狂潮中生存,中国企业必须尽快建立自己的具有竞争力的人力资源管理模式。比较研究中日两国的人力资源管理模式和特点,可以证明两国的人力资源管理在改革方式、员工素质侧重、员工职业生涯规划、招聘、企业文化建设等方面存在差异。中国的人力资源管理模式还存在平均主义、论资排辈、任人唯亲、官本位等不足,需要中国的企业进行文化建设、设计完整的薪酬体系、加强员工培训及绩效管理等,以有效地促进中国人力资源管理的战略性发展。     

不容乐观的东北亚区域合作走势分析——对吉林省对外经贸战略的若干思考

历经坎坷的东北亚区域经济合作虽巳展现雏形,但并没有取得实质性成果,图们江地区开发也是进展缓慢,与合作的有利因素相比,不利因素仍占据主导地位,再加上全球金融危机的影响,东北亚区域经济合作的总体形势不容乐观.对此,吉林省必须从现实出发,围绕对外经贸战略进行重新思考,以推行"全面合理化"为手段,脚踏实地的推进"质量立省"战略的实施,为今后参与可能出现的东北亚区域经济合作积蓄力量和奠定基础.     

17世纪西西伯利亚军役人员：形成、编制与管理

西西伯利亚军役人员形成于16世纪末至17世纪初，是俄国统治西伯利亚主要依靠的力量。由于西西伯利亚地域辽阔、人口稀少，其军队的管理机构、数量、等级、兵种、招募等方面与欧俄地区不同。18世纪初，彼得一世进行了军事改革，按照西方建制创立了新型的正规军，西西伯利亚军役人员从此退出了历史舞台。     

Evidence-Based Policy Research to Inform the ENP: Five Recommendations for Europe and its Neighbours

The September 2014 referendum is a milestone in Scotland’s history. After 307 years of union with England and a 15-year experience with devolution, Scottish nationalism is within reach of its ultimate goal. Independence would be consensual and Scotland and the rest of the UK would retain multiple links. The EU dimension looms large in the debate and is entangled with the UK’s own review of its membership. Scotland’s referendum is part of a wider trend seeing other ‘stateless nations’ in the democratic world pursuing independence. Even if opinion polls indicate voters will likely reject secession, Scotland’s experience holds important lessons for the wider world.     

潜力保护、要素培育和制度构建:俄罗斯反危机政策评析

俄罗斯反危机政策是一个短期和长期目标相结合、静态的应急和动态的发展相平衡的综合性政策工具组合。根据俄罗斯经济面对的外部冲击和内在约束条件,俄罗斯政府在保护发展潜力、培育要素基础和构建发展的制度保障体系三个方面采取了相应的对策,根本目的在于鼓励创新,实现国民经济的现代化。     

试论中国大陆学者对东南亚（东盟）区域合作的研究——以博士论文和学术专著为视角

东南亚地区是中国的周边地区,中国一贯重视发展与东南亚地区国家的关系,本文从博士论文和学术专著层面出发,分析和论述了中国大陆学者对东南亚(东盟)区域合作的研究状况和不足,认为:1,从研究领域看,中国大陆学者对东南亚(东盟)合作的研究主要是注重经济领域的研究,尤其是中国与东南亚(东盟)的经济合作;但是,对于其他方面的研究相对比较缺乏,特别是缺乏对东南亚合作的深入研究;2,从研究单位来看,云南省和北京市是中国大陆研究东南亚(东盟)合作的中心;3,从时间来看,中国大陆学者对东南亚(东盟)合作研究的兴趣逐年增加,特别是2003年之后。     

从经营管理看东南亚华商对中国企业的借鉴与促进作用

改革开放以来,东南亚华商对中国大陆的投资引人注目。一般人们对东南亚华商在引进资金、技术和设备等方面的作用强调得比较多。实际上,东南亚华商在中国引进先进的管理经验和适应市场经济发展的经营技能等方面也作出了很大的贡献。而且,东南亚华商投资企业为中国企业的发展树立了学习的榜样,促进了中国企业的成长。
