1945年美英贸易谈判和GATT的起源

1945年美英围绕战后国际贸易体制问题展开了一场外交攻防战,出于世界领导权、商业利益及对苏战略的需要,美国放弃了多边自由贸易纲领,转而采取多边谈判程序的安排,形成了美国构筑战后国际贸易体制的政策目标和方法,为多边贸易谈判体制———GATT的产生铺平了道路。     

中国与东盟的贸易和投资关系研究

中国与东盟的经济贸易关系特别是贸易和投资关系,自1967年以来经历了不同的发展阶段,其间出现过波动.但近年来随着金融危机的过去和双边政治关系的改善,经济贸易得到迅速发展.目前,中国与东盟的经贸合作的主要领域是商品贸易、服务贸易、相互投资、区域开发和科技合作等方面,在此基础上,应通过各种渠道协调相互关系,相互给予优惠贸易安排,加强区域合作,加强科技、教育、文化、卫生保健等领域的合作,以促进双边的贸易和投资等进一步发展.     

传统与特色 ：新时代工会组织的服务职责及实现路径研究

中国工会第十七次全国代表大会将中国工会的基本职责修改为"维护职工合法权益、竭诚服务职工群众",这是时代的要求,也是工会工作创新的重要内容。梳理分析工会服务职工群众职责的演进历程可以发现,不同时期对该问题的表述和要求存在差异。但工会组织服务职工群众是始终与维护职工合法权益紧密联系在一起的。各级工会组织在服务职工群众方面进行积极探索,形成了一些影响力较大的服务品牌。在新形势下,工会服务职工工作首先要凸显工会特色、清晰工会组织定位,转变理念,实现以职工需求为导向;其次,应将资源向基层工会倾斜,指导和帮助基层工会,夯实服务职工的组织基础;最后,应探索建立与广大职工群众之间有效的互动反馈机制。     

Navigating Small-Scale Trade Across Thai-Lao Border Checkpoints: Legitimacy,Social Relations and Money

ABSTRACT

Marked in part by a narrow river, the border between the neighbouring provinces of Loei in Thailand and Sayaboury in the Lao PDR appears to be porous and unregulated. While a Friendship Bridge regulates large-scale international trade, an extensive amount of informal, small-scale trade continues to flow across smaller checkpoints and other parts of the river. Trade along these sites is not only highly organised, most of it also happens under the gaze of border officials. This article examines the material and power exchanges that occur at local checkpoints between the different actors involved in the facilitation and restriction of trade. Between Loei and Sayaboury, trade is regulated according to a spectrum of licitness that is constantly negotiated and renegotiated between traders and officials. Negotiations rely on the social relations between these actors and involve practices of gift-giving and bribery, which blur the boundaries between reciprocity and corruption. By focusing on the interactions between state and non-state actors, this article sheds light on the way the informal economy is configured by checkpoint politics.     

Trade Measures and Climate Compliance: Institutional Interplay Between WTO and the Marrakesh Accords

This article examines the potential of trade measures to induce more climate-friendly policies, focusing on the relationship between global trade rules and the Kyoto climate regime. At the core of this interplay is the normative consistency of trade-related rules in the two regimes and any hierarchical relationship between them. The stronger clout of the WTO and its compulsory dispute settlement system suggest that issues involving competing claims would be referred to WTO bodies. Such bodies have so far been restrictive regarding the exceptions in WTO agreements to the general ban on embargoes and discrimination. The normative compatibility of the two regimes will also depend on their participatory interplay, specifically how they differentiate groups of actors as to rights and obligations. Non-members of WTO receive the least protection, and their vulnerability to climate-related trade measures is largely determined by their interdependence with states that consider employment of such measures. Among WTO members, the findings of a dispute settlement body would presumably differ depending on the status of the target under the Kyoto Protocol. A non-complier with Kyoto commitments would be more shielded than a non-party, because by joining the Kyoto regime a non-complier has exposed itself to regime-internal and less trade intrusive measures that should be exhausted first. A third dimension of interplay is linkage, or efforts to influence the regime interplay. To date there has only been moderate cross-agency coordination, but considerable attention is paid within each regime, including in the Millennium Round of trade negotiations, to the desirability of avoiding conflict between them.     

行帮对早期工人运动的影响

行帮是中国历史上曾普遍存在的一种社会团体组织。在早期工人运动中行帮是工人运动的主要组织者,是早期工人组织的主要参照模式;同时,由于行帮狭隘的利益,又影响了工人阶级的内部团结,为早期工人运动带来了诸多负面影响。行帮抵御了近代中国资本主义发展的冲击,表现出较强生命力。行帮既是中国社会进入危机阶段的伴生物,也是中国独特的近代工业发展进程和近代工人阶级队伍形成样式的社会后果,旧式行帮的延续也同时反映了中国特有的"同乡文化"的影响。     

改革发展中的劳动就业与工会的维权工作

就业是民生之本。改革以来,中国在劳动就业方面取得了突出的成就,初步形成了市场导向的就业机制。受人口增长的历史影响,中国当前和今后长时期将面临严峻的就业挑战。当前中国就业环境的变化特征是:劳动力供求矛盾突出,"强资本弱劳工"格局日趋明显;就业结构性矛盾严重,弱势劳工群体问题凸显;劳动力流动性增强,劳动关系的安全性下降;城镇失业率迅猛上升,社会保障亟待完善。劳动就业方面的这些变化特征要求今后工会工作应以中华全国总工会提出的"积极促进就业,稳定就业岗位,减少失业"为中心,在新的起点上,以新的思路、新的标准、新的要求实现新的突破,更好地维护职工的劳动权益。     

依托工会组织优势夺取抗击"非典"斗争的全面胜利

在抗击"非典"的艰巨斗争中,工会组织必须发挥自身优势,加强对职工的思想政治工作,维护职工的合法权益,力争取得抗"非典"斗争的胜利和经济社会全面稳定的发展.     

实践"三个代表"发挥工会的"三个作用"

学习党的十六大精神,深入实践"三个代表"重要思想,是各级工会组织当前和今后一个时期的重要任务.实践"三个代表"重要思想必须结合工会工作实际,必须突出自身优势和特点,发挥好"三个作用".     

关于中俄两国关系面向21世纪发展的战略对策

20世纪90年代以来,中俄两国关系一直处于战略升级态势,但目前却出现了一些问题,主要表现为政治协作与经贸合作之间发展的不平衡,致使两国关系进入了一个转折关头。中俄两国领导人为加强合作、促进发展,签署了《睦邻友好合作条约》,力图把双方战略协作伙伴关系推进到面向21世纪的务实性阶段,其未来发展前景十分看好,并能成为当今世界大国关系的成功范例和操作楷模。
