美国与东亚经济失衡及东亚区域合作构想

美国与东亚经济失衡与摩擦对东亚区域经济一体化的影响巨大而复杂。一方面,为应对与美国的经济摩擦,东亚先进经济体往往通过对外直接投资将国内失去比较优势的产业转移到区内后进经济体,将其作为自己的出口平台,从而促进东亚地区产业分工与国际生产网络等经济一体化的形成;另一方面,作为东亚区域经济一体化进程中最重要的外部因素,美国对东亚经济一体化的立场、东亚对美国市场和美国货币的非对称依赖都在一定程度上限制了东亚地区一体化的发展。     

冷战后日缅关系及日本对缅政策

1988年9月缅甸军政府上台之后,日本于1989年2月对其予以了承认,由此成为西方阵营中最先承认缅甸军政府的国家。日本希望通过与缅甸军政府保持建设性接触的方式,来促使缅甸逐步走向民主化进程。与欧美等国的强硬做法相比较,日本政府强调与缅甸军政府开展对话的重要性。在处理缅甸问题上,日本的政策表现更为稳健、温和。日本还会继续对缅甸采取建设性干预的政策,并在指导缅甸走向市场经济的过程中发挥更大的作用。

How to bring about change in the Bangladesh civil service? Attempts to change mindsets,behaviours and practice

This article addresses three critical questions central to many donor funded programmes which seek to enable pro‐poor reform and growth. In the context of Bangladesh, the research asks first, does the civil service has a role in promoting change of this kind? Second, can a senior civil service development programme succeed in creating reform minded civil servants? And, third, if so how might the contribution be made both more substantive and of value? These questions are addressed systematically through a literature review and evidence drawn from Managing at the Top (MATT 2)—a DFID funded programme. Some tentative conclusions are drawn in the final section. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
