探索建立行政执法部门岗位风险防控新机制——以通州工商局“三联三防工程”为例

“三联三防工程”是通州工商局探索建立的岗位风险防控新机制。“三联三防”是指行政执法部门主动联合纪委建立岗位廉政教育工作机制，重点防控廉政风险；主动联合法院建立依法行政工作机制，重点防控执法风险；主动联合检察院建立预防职务犯罪工作机制，重点防控渎职风险。这一机制的建立，有效地整合了资源，借助多方专业力量，形成风险联防合力，从而打破了当前政府部门廉政建设内部循环的封闭格局，提高了行政执法部门廉政风险和履职风险防控的水平。     

International cooperation in exchange‐rate management: Coordination of U.S. and Japanese intervention, 1977–1990

What are the determinants of international cooperation in exchange‐rate management? To answer this question, coordination of foreign exchange intervention by the United States and Japan from 1977 to 1990 is analyzed. An examination of the data raises two empirical puzzles: (1) Why do the periods of active intervention and high cooperation coincide?; (2) Why does Japan intervene unilaterally more often than the United States? Some hypotheses drawn from various theories of cooperation are tested, but none of them receive strong support. Instead, intervention volume and learning by U.S. administrations account for the variance in coordination. These findings resolve the two puzzles: (1) The periods of active intervention are the time of high need for cooperation; (2) Japan is obliged to intervene unilaterally while the United States is learning to cooperate.     

厦漳泉同城化背景下厦金合作析论

厦漳泉同城化在建设闽南大都市区、推进闽南金三角区域经济一体化的同时，也对区域社会整合发展、生态环境协同治理与保护提供新契机。而作为区域核心城市的厦门，则负有带动大都市区域经济集聚发展、引领区域社会转型发展和生态文明建设的责任。值此背景下，“厦金合作”将拥有更广阔的腹地支撑和发展纵深，同时也应赋予更高的发展立意：不只是经济合作诉求，还应着力在社会、文化、环境等方面的多元推进。厦漳泉同城化为厦金合作提供了新的作为空间，也为其提供了可资借鉴的实践路径———以同城化理念贯穿厦金合作，推进“厦金同城化”，进而“厦漳泉金同城化”。这一新思路，对于促进海西建设和两岸关系和平发展都具有重要的战略价值和现实意义。     

Coming in from the Cold: Grenada and Cuba since 1983

Abstract

The Grenada Revolution’s radical course was stamped by the bold turn to Cuba in April 1979. Cuban commitment to Maurice Bishop’s regime was crucial to its consolidation. In 1983 counter-revolution and invasion ruptured Grenada–Cuba ties and damaged Havana’s relations with Caribbean Community states. Since the demise of the Cold War, Havana’s survival strategy has prioritised regional integration and cooperation in the Americas. In the Anglophone Caribbean, Grenada has been at the centre of this rapprochement since 1993. Despite Washington’s disapproval, Grenada champions expanded ties with socialist Cuba. The rekindled alliance brings tangible mutual benefits and validates the strategy of South–South cooperation advocated by Maurice Bishop’s People’s Revolutionary Government and New Jewel Movement.     

Perceptions,identities and interests in South–South cooperation: the cases of Chile,Venezuela and Brazil

The relevance acquired in recent years by South–South cooperation seems to be connected with deeper structural transformations occurring in the international system. However, the variety of cooperation models promoted by new providers in the South requires the identification of complementary factors to help explain current patterns. A set of socio-cognitive elements, related to each country’s perceptions, identities and interests, can yield greater understanding of the variety of South–South cooperation models. Such an approach is here applied to the cases of Chile, Venezuela and Brazil – three important providers from the South – in order to explore their different cooperation models.     

Old bottle new wine? The evolution of China’s aid in Africa 1956–2014

Abstract

China’s aid is frequently portrayed as a challenger to established Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) norms, but it is unclear when the distinct ‘Chinese-model’ of aid emerged and how it has evolved over time. Using new historical data on Chinese aid in Africa and the case of Ethiopia, we have three main findings. First, China developed a distinct model of mixing ODA-like aid and commercial forms of economic engagement only after the mid-1990s, reflecting institutional reforms for allocating and managing foreign official finance. Second, social sectors have played a much greater role in China’s aid programme than is commonly perceived. Finally, Chinese aid to productive sectors has changed substantially whereas in social sectors it is relatively consistent.
