全球经济变局与两岸经济一体化

2008年以来,国际金融危机发生后全球经济的深刻变革,两岸经济各自步入历史性转型升级期,两岸关系呈现和平发展新局,两岸经济关系的发展环境随之发生重大变化。两岸贸易投资布局与结构正在发生历史性转换,并几乎与两岸经济合作机制的建构同步展开;传统的两岸经济关系发展方式面临新瓶颈,两岸经济合作由快速推进逐步进入“深水区”,在全球经济再平衡和亚太区域经济合作进程加快形势下,两岸应加快推进经济一体化进程,积极共同参与亚太区域经济合作进程,以更好应对全球变局的冲击。     

The Symbolic Construction of Rival Nations: Radio Japan's Coverage of U.S.-Japanese Trade Disputes

Although there is an extensive research literature on the ideological uses of news particularly during times of war there has been little investigation of how media present news in support of their nations' position in international economic conflicts This study analyzes the newscasts of Radio Japan during a period of major trade disputes between Japan and the United States It identi fies the way in which a clear and serviceable image of an international trade rival can be constructed as a cumulative product over an extended period of newscasts     

海峡两岸关系未来发展的中华传统文化基础

今日海峡两岸关系问题,从某种意义上讲,是中华传统文化影响而生的中国式问题。按"和平统一、一国两制"构想,未来两岸关系发展,应是"求同存异"前提下互利合作不断加深。作为两岸"共同语言""共同兴趣爱好"的传统文化,正是未来两岸关系发展的坚实基础。传统文化在两岸关系中的这一重要角色作用,过去并未受到足够重视,没有发挥应有作用。文化上的"中国"或"中华"因素的充分适当运用,也许是推进未来两岸关系发展的最重要方略之一。     

建构主义视角下的中韩关系

自大韩民国成立,直到1992年中韩两国建交,处于东西方两大对立阵营中的中韩两国建构了长达近半个世纪的敌对身份关系。建交后,中韩两国开始建构积极的角色身份关系。从金大中的“合作伙伴关系”、卢武铉的“全面合作伙伴关系”,到李明博的“战略合作伙伴关系”,中韩关系呈现逐步提升的态势,两国的角色身份呈积极的认同关系。展望未来,尽管两国间存在诸多妨碍积极角色身份建构的因素,但继续加强全面合作,促进东北亚地区的安全与稳定,是中韩两国共同的愿景。因此,中韩两国建构康德文化下的朋友角色身份是值得期待的。     

韩中关系与东北亚国际合作体制

东北亚国际合作机制的提出始于20世纪80年代,此后这一议题进入具体讨论的阶段。由于地缘冲突、安全困境等多种原因,目前东北亚地区还难以推行以国际机制或国家理性选择为基础的国际合作机制。从政治外交、经济、人文等合作机制的发展状况来看,目前韩中关系正朝着更高的合作方向发展,这可以说是东北亚国际合作机制建设的重要基础和参照。不过,这其中的一些困扰因素仍然不可小觑。本文主要从经济、政治外交、社会文化三个方面讨论韩中关系的发展,由此分析韩中关系对构建东北亚国际合作机制的重要意义,探讨韩中两国尚未解决或难以妥协的矛盾分歧对东北亚国际合作机制的构建及其发展的重要影响。     

Homosexuality as cultural battleground in the Middle East: culture and postcolonial international theory

The culture wars over homosexuality in the Middle East are studied here in the context of the theoretical debate on culture in International Relations and, more specifically, through a critical examination of postcolonial international theory. The paper argues that, although postcolonialism can offer a useful framework, it also has, in its poststructuralist variants, significant limitations in addressing the controversial issues surrounding homosexuality as cultural battleground in the Middle East. These limitations derive from an unconvincing interpretation of the relationship between the Middle East and modernity; and a problematic approach towards moral agency. The paper serves a dual purpose. Through the use of the empirical material, it furthers the debate within postcolonial international theory by bringing evidence to bear in support of its humanist or materialist strands. The theoretical discussion, in turn, by highlighting the intertwining of culture and power in the debates on homosexuality, strengthens the case for respecting homosexual rights in the Middle East region.     

Small Business’ Place in the South Korean State–Society Relations

Korean small businesses have come a long way as sources of industrial power more important than heretofore credited. The nation's undemocratic dirigisme had largely slighted small businesses to the country's disadvantage. Although the government's policy bias against them started to change in the early 1980s, its support of them remained less than fully-fledged. Despite tough socio-economic conditions, however, both the first and second generation small entrepreneurs have strived to prove their self-worth as viable business enterprises and constantly—and increasingly over time—contributed to the incremental improvement of the economy. By shedding light on the little-known motivations, perceptions, and performances of the small business people, this article offers a more balanced and nuanced account of the past and present state of small businesses in the country, which provides a tentative basis for considering alternative vision for future development.     

美国重返亚洲战略下的中国与印度关系

印度因其特殊的地缘政治环境被美国视为抑制中国“崛起”的控制阀和其重返亚洲、构建遏制中国包围网的重要节点。但印度在政治经济上对美国借重的同时亦和中国在国际上有着诸多共同利益诉求,并为加速本国经济腾飞而不得不倚重中国高速增长的经济,其角色的特殊性决定了在中美新博弈中印度将左右倚重并制衡。因此,在经济利益为国家相互关系主导因素的背景下,中国应与印度构建共赢发展互动关系,推动两国经济持续快速发展。     

What Can Pro-Democracy Activists in Arab Countries Expect from the European Union? Lessons from the Union's Relations with Israel

In this article, we analyze the European Union's (EU) approach to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, showing that there is a wide gap between its normative opposition to the occupation, Israel's expanding settlement project, and the EU's foreign trade policy. Our argument is not only that there is no evidence of norm diffusion from the EU to Israel, but that within the EU itself there is no diffusion from the normative political stance to the EU's economic interests. The Israeli case suggests that the pro-democracy activists of Tunisia, Egypt, and Syria should be aware that the trade interests of the EU Member States will ultimately trump the EU's political declarations.     

政府间财政平衡体系与府际关系的调整——以统一后的德国为例

自1990年10月3日两德统一后,德国向东部地区提供的天文数字般的转移支付被视为人类历史上以金钱实现政治目的的经典范例。德国政府间财政平衡体系遵循财权事权相统一、创造与保障联邦国土内生活水平的一致性及均衡不同地域经济实力两大原则,并由纵向与横向两大维度构成。自统一以来,在政府间财政平衡体系的作用下,其府际关系呈现出联邦政府趋于强势、西东各州矛盾重重、均衡性(对称性)被打破等新动向。
