Energy security and Russia’s gas strategy: The symbiotic relationship between the state and firms

The way how Russia ignores the EU’s quest for liberalization and sustains a control over markets and supplies is directly related to her use of gas as leverage. Russia’s strategy affects many European and non-European countries during all stages: demand, supply and transit. It is not, however, possible to generalize a common statement that the EU’s position is based on a policy of market liberalization while Russia pursues an opposing strategy of increased state control. Russian energy strategy leads markets in Europe; sets tone for energy supplies at homeland and abroad, benefiting from a variety of means. This article shows how a symbiotic relationship between the Russian state and Russian energy companies emerge from a structure in which trade, markets and international politics have been embedded within the state interests and firm behavior. It identifies the economic and geopolitical trends with regard to recent developments of Russia’s strategy.     

浅析近年来日本对东南亚的能源外交

印度尼西亚、马来西亚和文莱是东南亚石油与天然气等能源储藏量较为丰富的国家,而日本是石油与天然气等能源资源极为缺乏的国家。长期以来,东南亚是日本开展对外经济关系的重点地区。为减少能源进口来源地过度集中的风险,日本在已有与东南亚国家传统关系的基础上,不断拓展对东南亚地区能源富产国的外交。     

云南省与越南矿产资源开发合作机制研究

中国—东盟自由贸易区如期建成,越南已经成为中国对东盟国家贸易顺差最高的来源市场。中越矿产资源及相关产品贸易值占贸易总额比例巨大,为矿产资源开发合作提供了基础贸易平台。越南矿产资源储量优势明显,云南省具有技术优势和产业优势,双方可以在基础开发平台建设、能源及非金属和金属矿产资源的勘探、开发和利用等领域进行合作,开发油气、煤炭、铝土矿、铁矿和磷矿等重点优势矿种。在合作过程中云南省应当强化制度建设和宏观调控能力,以产业技术为合作关键点,分步骤依托重点项目进行。同时,要注意口岸管理和边境企业的服务和扶持,通过产业、城镇、人才三大集群的培育实现合作规模效应。     

从“东进战略”的实施看印度的东亚合作政策

伴随冷战后对外战略的调整,印度开始一改往日囿于南亚、困于中巴、局限印度洋的状况,在积极发展同美、俄等西方大国关系的同时,致力于实施以东盟为突破口的“东进战略”,并因此成为东亚合作进程中一个日趋重要的域外因素。但是,“东进战略”的实施不可能一直一帆风顺,印度国内问题和印巴危机、印度的大国构想与东南亚国家“平衡外交”策略的冲突、中美日等亚太大国在东南亚的竞争等因素都有可能使其“东进战略”的进一步实施受到制约。印度要想与东亚国家在更大规模和更深层次上开展合作,未来仍将面临诸多困难。     

The Analysis of a World War I U.S. Service Member's Dental Remains Recovered in France

In October 2009, the grave of an unknown World War I (WWI) U.S. service member was exhumed in Rembercourt‐Sur‐Mad Village, in the Lorraine Region of France. The skeletal remains and material evidence were accessioned into the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command's (JPAC) Central Identification Laboratory (CIL). The personnel records for the associated casualty were requested, received, and reviewed. A dental profile was present among the service member's personal information. There were multiple points of concordance between the dental records of the associated casualty, and the recovered dental remains to include eight restored teeth, 15 unrestored teeth, and three antemortem missing teeth. Distinctive restorations which compared favorably included a porcelain crown and multiple gold foil fillings. All lines of evidence (historical, material evidence/personal effects, anthropological, and dental) and the circumstances of loss compared positively with the associated casualty. On April 1, 2010, the previously unaccounted‐for U.S. service member was positively identified and on June 23, 2010, was buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery.
