俄罗斯远东煤炭工业现状

俄罗斯远东的煤炭工业在经济改革的10年间陷于危机中,产量一直下滑。在全俄煤炭工业开始好转的1999年,远东煤炭产量继续下降,从2001年起,远东煤炭工业开始走出困境,产量连续两年上升。

关于东北亚区域经济合作的若干思考

20世纪初期俄国远东地区对中国东北农畜产品的需求

20世纪初期,俄国远东地区人口继续增加,对农畜产品的需要量亦持续增长。但由于该地区农牧业落后,其产品远远不能满足需要,于是,中国东北便成为俄国远东地区获得所缺农畜产品的主要来源之一。中国东北农畜产品的大量出口,一方面满足了俄国远东地区对粮食和肉类的需要,支持了该地区农产品加工业的发展;另一方面,对中国东北农牧业及农畜产品商品化的发展也起了较大的促进作用。     

东北亚地区投资环境与投资趋向

进入新世纪以来,东北亚的投资环境发生了较大变化:在政治环境方面,朝鲜半岛局势缓和、中俄两国签署了《中俄睦邻友好合作条约》;该地区经贸关系发展迅速;东北亚日趋成为亚洲的投资重点。     

当前远东经济形势的某些特点

1998年俄罗斯爆发金融危机之后,卢布大幅度眨值.卢布眨值效应使远东经济出现回升.这一回升与全俄经济回升相比既有共性,也表现出自己的特点.远东市场出现了两种趋势;一方面由于居民生活水平下降而造成消费需求下降;另一方面却是工业生产出现增长.其原因是工业产品的生产者在全俄经济回升的鼓舞下对未来经济形势有较好的预期,提高了对开展企业活动和投资活动的信心.但认为投资环境已"转暖"还为时尚早.     

日朝关系的发展及其意义

日朝关系是东北亚地区国际关系中的重要方面之一,在战后半个世纪的历史进程中,日朝关系发展历程经过了“五起四落”。值此新世纪到来之际,与朝鲜半岛北南和平统一进程加速化相伴随,日本虽然有可能加大对朝关系正常化的谈判力度,但若不把以往对朝政策做一番战略调整,其对朝关系发展仍很难摆脱“起起伏伏”的局面,其邦交正常化目标亦很难尽快实现。     

试论东盟对东亚共同体形成所起的作用

近十余年来,由于受到全球化大潮的冲击,在东亚也出现了地域化思潮。面对同样的挑战,东亚各国已经意识到采取共同的经济文化防卫机制的迫切性与重要性。其中,东盟各国表现出了强烈的主体性与话语意识。本文力图从经济、贸易的角度分析东亚地域所产生的地域化、本土化趋势的实质,确证东盟各国对东亚共同体形成所产生的作用。     

Energy cooperation problems in Northeast Asia: Unfolding the reality

It is a truism that Northeast Asian states could benefit very much if they were to cooperate in the energy security realm. However, to many, especially economists, their behaviour to this common sense solution has been bewildering: there has been simply no progress towards this end and it still remains a puzzle, even to many energy specialists. This article attempts to answer a simple question: Why do the Northeast Asian states, namely China, Japan, Korea, and Russia, not cooperate? For its analysis, the author of the article relies on content analysis of recently released official governmental long-term energy policy and strategy documents of these states, and notes that cooperation for energy security reasons at the regional level is conspicuously absent, which possibly implies a lack of desire and willingness to do so amongst themselves. The article, however, deliberately omits from its study Korea, simply because no such long-term energy policy exists today. It attributes the major cause to the strong propensity by energy specialists to interchangeably use the concepts of ‘energy cooperation’ and ‘energy security’ in their analysis.     

Characteristics and prospects for East Asian economic integration: a Korean perspective

In terms of economic regionalism, East Asia lags far behind other major regions. It was only recently that institutionalization of regional economic integration was started among East Asia countries. However, functional economic integration has continuously proceeded among East Asian economies even without a region-wide RTA. This paper analyzes the trends of functional economic integration both in terms of trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) among East Asian economies, and reviews recent developments of economic regionalism in East Asia. It also addresses the prospects for a region-wide FTA in East Asia and draws some policy implications for East Asian countries at this juncture of economic regionalism in East Asia.
