中国新能源产业出口竞争力研究:智能电网产业

作为新能源产业的一个子产业,智能电网产业出口竞争力评价是新能源产业出口竞争力研究的重要组成部分.该文依据1998年至2010年全球主要经济体的智能电网产业海关进出口数据,就中国智能电网产业出口竞争力展开分析研究.虽然TC指数分析显示中国智能电网产业出口竞争力水平处于劣势,而发达国家的该产业出口竞争力水平较高,但通过在第三方市场研究发现,中国智能电网产业出口额在美国、欧盟及日本市场均呈现快速增长趋势,且市场占比均逐年加大,表明中国智能电网产业出口竞争力在逐步增强.     

Can Democracy Cope?

The success story of democracy over the twentieth century has given way to doubts in the twenty‐first, as democracies struggle to cope with difficult wars, mounting debts, climate change and the rise of China. This essay uses intellectual history to explain the link between long‐term democratic success and short‐term democratic failure. It distinguishes three distinct views of what can go wrong with democracy, and identifies the third (which I call ‘the confidence trap’, an idea that originates with Tocqueville) as the key to understanding our present predicament. Democratic success creates blind spots and a reluctance to tackle long‐term problems. I use this idea to explain and put in context Fukuyama's claims about the end of history, and to examine the link between democratic failure and market failure.     

ECFA签署后两岸资本市场的合作研究

伴随着贸易、投资等经贸活动的日益频繁,两岸对资本市场的金融服务需求也越来越大。然而一直以来,两岸资本市场合作严重滞后于两岸经贸关系的发展,使大量进入大陆的台资企业融资渠道匮乏,面临共同的融资困境。ECFA签署后,两岸资本市场合作将迎来一个崭新的历史阶段。在新形势下,两岸监管当局、证券从业机构应利用自身的优势,把握机遇,稳步推进两岸资本市场间合作,营造互利双赢的合作格局。     

The stem family and labour markets: Reflections on households and firms in Japan's economic development

This paper examines a view that the traditional stem family system was one of the preconditions for Japan's modern economic development, focusing on labour markets and skill formation practices. The paper begins with a brief look at the Japanese stem family household formation rules. Then, exploration is made, first, on the self-employed, the largest sector of the early modern economy; second, the merchant house and its employment patterns as an origin of present day large corporations' employment system and skill formation and human capital management practices; and third, workshop industries, which formed middle and lower layers of the manufacturing sector in the period of industrialisation. Finally, women's marriage behaviour is examined in relation to labour markets, especially changes in real wages. All this is an attempt to go some way towards a better understanding of the ways in which the family economy and corporate firms worked in economic development, rather than to suggest an alternative hypothesis on the relationship between family and household factors and subsequent economic development.     

新时期地方政府网络舆情危机及其控制探析

在我国经济社会发展处于矛盾凸显期和网络社会迅速纵深发展的时代背景下,准确把握正确应对各类政府网络舆情危机,具有十分重要的战略意义。     

浅析网络舆论对公共政策制定的影响

随着信息技术的高速发展,网络舆论对公共政策制定的影响和作用开始凸显,并已成为公民影响公共政策制定的一条新途径。与此同时,网络舆论对公共政策的制定也存在一些不利影响。所以,政府在公共政策制定过程中要正确利用网络舆论,以便更好地实现公民参与,促进民意与公共政策的有效互动。     

论网上侦查

犯罪嫌疑人在实施犯罪以及社会日常生活过程中必然要遗留与之相关的信息,这些信息可分为物质化信息与数字化信息。公安机关能够掌握的与犯罪嫌疑人有关的数字化信息分为四大类：违法犯罪记录信息、人口管理基本信息、社会活动信息和刑事案件发破案信息。网上侦查模式的运行过程就是依托各种信息资源分析平台,通过对四类数字化信息的整合、交叉碰撞比对,自动或半自动地揭示蕴藏在各类信息资源中的犯罪嫌疑人的活动规律轨迹和作案信息,从而发现破案线索以及准确定位在逃犯罪嫌疑人,进而将其缉捕归案。网上侦查作为一种全新的侦查模式,自成系统,构成这个系统的要素之间相互作用从而实现网上侦查的功能。     

Smuggler’s Blues: Examining Why Countries Become Narcotics Transit States Using the New International Narcotics Production and Transit (INAPT) Data Set

We examine the global determinants of the illicit international narcotics trade and the specific roles that states play in it, a topic understudied by international relations scholars. We develop the first comprehensive global data set of state involvement in international narcotics trafficking and then use the data set to empirically test hypotheses concerning the likelihood of countries to serve as transit states for the transshipment of illicit drugs. We find that more-globalized countries are more likely to act as transit states and that the size of the economy, as well as state corruption and a weak rule of law, are positively related to the probability of acting as a transit state. States with a more stable political environment are also more likely to be transit states.     

Online crisis communication response: A case study of fraudulent banking transactions in South Africa

Abstract

The emergence and advancement of information technology – specifically the replacement of face-toface services with innovative self-service technology, such as banking transactions on the Internet – is forcing companies to adopt a proactive approach to online crisis communication response, and to combine the management and control of online messages during a crisis. In the financial services industry, deregulation and the rapid growth in technology have removed entry barriers in the online environment, forcing financial institutions to transform from the traditional brick-and-mortar to click-and-mortar service delivery, while at the same time allaying customers’ fears (and the perceived risk) of fraudulent online transactions. Although studies have been conducted on the adoption, use, perceived risk and purchase intention of self-service technology, limited research has examined the knowledge management of an online crisis communication response. Knowledge management, which focuses on the acquisition, transfer and assimilation of information, is one way in which to manage messages effectively before, during and after an online crisis communication response situation. The main aim of this article is to identify and characterise typologies of the management and control of messages in an online crisis communication response, through an interpretative and critical analysis of fraudulent websites, based on the main premises of the knowledge management approach. This is done through a case study approach: the website of one of the top ten banks in South Africa was studied in terms of it dealt with fraudulent banking transactions, specifically from the knowledge management paradigm.     

Measuring knowledge management in a virtual chat room: A case study

Abstract

Many organisations deem the virtual workplace to be a solution to challenges such as global competition, accelerated product development, improved quality and customer service, to mention but a few. In spite of the success of virtual communities on the Internet and although a significant amount of research has been conducted on virtual organisations, very few studies have focused on the evaluation of the combined effects of the theoretical variables of knowledge management in virtual communities. Advanced web analytics have been used in some instances to test the content of virtual communities, like discussion forums, hat rooms and the like. Because a plethora of chat rooms are devoted to special interest topics that may implicitly contain information and insights on consumers, knowledge creation and sharing, it creates the ideal opportunity to measure the management of knowledge therein. The aim of this article is, therefore, to measure knowledge management in a virtual community (an online chat room of an academic institution). Firstly, the article propounds a brief overview of the theoretical underpinning of the study by proposing a conceptual framework for the measurement of knowledge management in virtual communities. Secondly, the methodology to measure the knowledge management in a chat room of an educational institution is outlined. Finally, the research results are presented and recommendations are made for future research.
