Though international relations are constantly adjusted, the world is by no means more stable and orderly. International order reshaping triggered by the 2008 financial crisis is deepening, with chaos of various kinds popping up here and there. In the sociopolitical field, the"Trump phenomenon"and Brexit indicate serious weakening of the authority of traditional political systems and elites. In major country relations and international security, the world is witnessing the rise of emerging countries and the and fall of the West, fiercer US-Russia and Sino-US wrestling of strategic significance, and greater global and regional security risks. In global governance, while adjustment of UN-centered global governance is laboring along, national rivalries touch core issues, making global governance more urgent.展开更多

Notwithstanding, the present debate on national security and nuclear proliferation, Anglo-American "special relations" continue to be a subject of vigorous discussion influenced by the impact of new international emergencies as unstable countries acquire nuclear power and refuse "to reign" in their nuclear programmes (The Globe and Mail, 12 January 2012). Along these lines the 71st anniversary of the Anglo-American Manhattan Project presents a unique opportunity to reappraise the Anglo-American wartime collaboration (or lack of) in atomic energy developments that resulted in the tragedy of nuclear weapons escalation. The Quebec Agreements of 1943-1944 were crafted to address the controlled flow of scientific information. But did this mean a trend toward more effective collaboration or toward greater American control of the atomic project? This study explores the subject of nuclear politics from an unique vantage point of Anglo-Canadian and American-Canadian atomic diplomacy. In doing so, it will show that both the American and British atomic policy makers violated the Quebec Agreements. It seeks to demonstrate that (1) in the tangle of competition replacing cooperation, Canada was more important to the American atomic monopolists than the Anglo-AmcTican partnership, (2) the US-Canada Trade and Defence Agreements contributed to United States retaining exclusive control of the "absolute weapon", and that (3) their post-war nuclear energy agenda delayed Britain's atomic venture and isolated Britain from full participation in Arctic research. In practical terms, the emerging atomic policy in Washington boiled down to maintaining the American edge, come what may, and reducing British prestige in the post-war world. The article concludes by raising the question: did the United States, Britain, and Canada really work for atomic control?展开更多

The data of mean daily air temperature of 1961-2009 from 106 meteorological stations in the northeastern China were chosen in this study. Using statistical methods and isoline method, the spatio-temporal changes of various decadal ≥10℃accumulated temperature and the climatic means of ≥10℃ accumulated temperature were studied in this paper. The results showed that 1) The geo- graphical distribution of ≥10℃ accumulated temperature in the northeastern China could be influenced directly by the latitude, longitude and altitude. If latitude moved one degree northward, the average decrease amplitude of the climatic means was 101.9℃ in the study area. 2) The means of decadal ≥10℃ accumulated temperature rose since the 1980s, and their increase amplitudes became larger in the 1990s and the 2010s obviously. Compared with those of the 1980s, ≥10℃ accumulated temperature increased by about 100℃ in the mountainous and plain areas in the 1990s; compared with those of the 1990s, ≥10℃ accumulated temperature increased by about 200℃ in the Hulun Buir High Plain and the Songnen Plain, and 100℃ in the Sanjiang Plain and the Liaohe Plain in the 2010s. 3) The means of the decada ≥10℃accumulated temperature for 106 meteorological stations in the northeastern China increased with the rate of 145.57℃/10yr in 1961-2009.4) The climatic means of ≥10℃ accumulated temperature increased from 1961-1990 to 1971-2000 and 1981-2009. Compared with the climatic mean of 1971-2000, that of 1981-2009 had increased by above 50℃ in most of the study area, even up to 156℃. Compared with the climatic mean of 1961-1990, that of 1981-2009 increased by above 100℃ in most parts of the study area, even up to 200℃. 5) The maximum northward shift, eastward and westward extension amplitudes of3100℃, 3300℃ and 3500℃ isolines were larger among all isolines for the climatic means of the three phases. Compared with the positions of the isolines of 1961-1990, those amplitudes of 31000C isoline of 1981-2009 were 145 km, 109 km and 64 km, respectively; those of 3300℃ isoline were 154 km, 54 km and 64 km, respectively; and the maximum northward shift of 3500℃ isoline was about 100 km.展开更多

China and the countries along the Belt and Road continue to promote cooperation, actively use the existing bilateral and multilateral cooperation mechanisms to promote the regional and inter-regional energy cooperation. Countries along the Belt and Road are rich in oil and gas resources; their demand on the diversification of export meet with the diversification demand on imports of consumption countries; and their oil refining and chemical technology as well as construction capacity is weak, which provides a lot of new opportunities in cooperation for Chinese enterprises. However, the energy cooperation of Chinese enterprises are also facing some challenges in the complex environment of energy cooperation, the interference of big powers, non-traditional security threats, and energy policy factors. Finally, the paper puts forward the strategic thinking of China's international energy cooperation under the new situation.展开更多

However, it is also important to understand that a person's creed-their principles and beliefs-has a tremendous influence on the way in which they will practice business. In recent decades, for example, the fraudulent business practices of major corporations such as Adelphia, Enron, Dynergy, Global Crossing, Merrill Lynch, Qwest, Tyco, and WorldCom, became international news. One after one, major world businesses, which were widely trusted and respected, toppled, leaving in their quake millions of ruined lives. Seemingly respectable and successful business practices were guilty of behaving with criminal intentions; consequently appearing, in the opinion of many observers, little more than common thieves As such, the philosophy of management, especially in relation to Creed vs. Greed, has become increasingly important within today's business world.展开更多

The interpretation of case data with actor network theory (ANT) provides an illustration of power coalitions among banks to create a de facto standard for transnational electronic payment security on the Internet. After a step of protecting its political interests and well-known technological solutions, the coalition understands that its mission becomes a matter of life and death for its members: Brand-new currency has been invented on the Web and one could develop business and monetary transactions without the banks. This interpretative stage tells us much about the transnational mechanisms of regulation and standardization as well as the "translation" steps regarding these transnational organizations. However, an additional step has to be added to this interpretative step, a step of framework construction. The aim is to help managers of the transnational firms involved in regulations and standardization to anticipate the evolutions and make relevant decisions. The framework has three distinctive characteristics: the ability to help conception, the ability to help conceive problems "ex ante", and the ability to facilitate collective conception of strategic maneuvers.展开更多

Previous research has informed us that states with similar security and/or economic interests will experience fewer conflict onsets. This study begins with research treating interest similarity as a "facilitating condition for conflict," and argues that in addition to security interest, capitalist economic policies that lead to the deeper integration of an economy into international markets should be considered one of the ultimate driving forces of peace. By discussing a brief description of bilateral peace in the China-Taiwan dyad, this article concludes that the China- Taiwan dyad has less possibility of encountering military conflict if both governments can maintain similarity in their security interests. Moreover, the author distinguishes different models in capitalist peace theory, which include the free-market and the social-market. Accordingly, this article examines three different prestigious capitalist models: trade, capital openness, and contract-intensive economy as social- market theory. The results suggest that the China-Taiwan case is an appropriate case for the trade (Weede, Economic development, social order, and world politics, 1996) and capital openness models (Gartzke, Am J Polit Sci 51(1): 166-191, 2007). Future studies need to be more aware of the model chosen for capitalist peace on cross-Strait relations.展开更多

文摘China's international energy cooperation and energy security are important parts of The Belt and Road initiatives. China and the countries along the Belt and Road continue to promote cooperation, actively use the existing bilateral and multilateral cooperation mechanisms to promote the regional and inter-regional energy cooperation. Countries along the Belt and Road are rich in oil and gas resources; their demand on the diversification of export meet with the diversification demand on imports of consumption countries; and their oil refining and chemical technology as well as construction capacity is weak, which provides a lot of new opportunities in cooperation for Chinese enterprises. However, the energy cooperation of Chinese enterprises are also facing some challenges in the complex environment of energy cooperation, the interference of big powers, non-traditional security threats, and energy policy factors. Finally, the paper puts forward the strategic thinking of China's international energy cooperation under the new situation.

文摘In the 1930s and 1940s,foreign writers gathered in Yan’an drew the curtain back on recognition of China’s international image through their writings on the“red Mecca.”The international perspective on the image of Yan’an was shaped by the combined efforts of Yan’an writings by foreign writers and journalists in the interlocking cultural context of history and society.With revolutionary individual consciousness and high artistic creativity,the Yan’an narration of foreign writers had striking shared characteristics:a real sense of presence and a realistic significance beyond their times.Their discovery of the revolutionary power generated by the Chinese people and their calling for and shaping of“heroes of the masses”and their pursuit of“the character of the people”represented the spiritual dimension of their Yan’an writings,a dimension that was distinct from that of local writers.The foreign writers’creative practice and the creative experience of local writers refracted off each other,juxtaposing mirror images of Yan’an at home and abroad and promoting the modernity and cosmopolitanism of Yan’an literature in the intertextuality between reality and literature.Together with local writers,writers from abroad participated in the creation of Chinese revolutionary history and culture,bringing their personal discourse into the discourse of China’s new era and completing the restatement of their cultural identity.The global identity of Yan’an went through a difficult process of historical self-creation,breaking through the limitations of its international image and realizing the self-proving nature of modern Chinese history.
文摘Studies in this article support the peace-building effects of interest similarity, and we have to re-evaluate the current world peace through a new lens of interest. Previous research has informed us that states with similar security and/or economic interests will experience fewer conflict onsets. This study begins with research treating interest similarity as a "facilitating condition for conflict," and argues that in addition to security interest, capitalist economic policies that lead to the deeper integration of an economy into international markets should be considered one of the ultimate driving forces of peace.
