Measuring Trade Profile with Granular Product-Level Data

The product composition of bilateral trade encapsulates complex relationships about comparative advantage, global production networks, and domestic politics. Despite the availability of product-level trade data, most researchers rely on either the total volume of trade or certain sets of aggregated products. In this article, we develop a new dynamic clustering method to effectively summarize this massive amount of product-level information. The proposed method classifies a set of dyads into several clusters based on their similarities in trade profile—the product composition of imports and exports—and captures the evolution of the resulting clusters over time. We apply this method to two billion observations of product-level annual trade flows. We show how typical dyadic trade relationships evolve from sparse trade to interindustry trade and then to intra-industry trade. Finally, we illustrate the critical roles of our trade profile measure in international relations research on trade competition.     

Toward a Pragmatic Model of Public Responsiveness: Implications for Enhancing Public Administrators’ Responsiveness to Citizen Demands

Public responsiveness, or bureaucratic responsiveness to citizen demands, is central to public administration theories. It is a key concept regarding the appropriate role of bureaucracy and professional administrators in a democratic political system. By exploring the complexity of the concept, this article proposes a pragmatic model as an alternative to the two mainstream models of understanding public responsiveness. The theoretical implication of the pragmatic model is also discussed. Future research should address administrators’ instrumental concerns in fostering public responsiveness.

Sino-Japanese Energy Security and Regional Stability: The Case of the East China Sea Gas Exploration

The Sino-Japanese dispute over the East China Sea maritime resources was triggered by the unsettled maritime boundary and the territorial dispute over the Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands. The dispute has been ascribed by many to intensified competition between China and Japan over energy supply. However this article attributes the fundamental cause of the conflict to power politics and political distrust, which are deemed to have the key role in preventing the two governments from finding a solution. The article analyses the origin and the causes responsible for the Sino-Japanese dispute over the East China Sea gas exploration, and then proceeds to investigate the diplomatic dialogues to reveal the key obstacles in the process.

对英国集体谈判制度形成过程的历史考察

英国是资本主义的先行者,也是最早成立工会、最早进行集体谈判的国家。随着工人运动的发展,英国的集体谈判也经历了萌芽、非法到合法的过程,并形成了独特的传统：自由放任。这一传统既是英国资本主义经济政治特征的体现,也是工人与资本家斗争的结果,对英国劳资关系的发展有着深远影响。     

自认证据化:表征、法理辨正与矫正路径

民事诉讼中的自认在规范层面及实务层面经常被降格为某种“证据”加以运用。自认证据化的程序设定成因在于我国自认的形式、阶段及对象均较为宽泛,导致自认与证据等心证来源混杂。自认证据化并不契合自认制度的理论根据和程序机能。基于民事诉讼诚实信用原则所导出的真实义务、法官心证原则以及虚假自认损害第三人利益之结果,仅能否定少数特定情形下的自认具有刚性拘束力,这也契合辩论主义之意蕴,并能与自认撤销制度相协调。据此,应在限缩自认程序设定的前提下普遍确立自认的刚性拘束力,在此基础上列举否定自认效力的例外情形。
