The Influence of U. S-Iraq War on World System and International Order

The ongoing U. S. -Iraq war is the focus of various governments, peoples and media of the world. Analyses can be made from different angles. I want to discuss the influence of the U. S. -Iraq war on current and future world system and international system. The U. S. -Iraq war is not a war in a traditional sense, but the first comprehensive war in the new century, involving military, political,

The Struggle for Establishing A New International Order

The 20th century is a century when both intra-national order and internationalorder were frequently changing. The struggles have never stopped focusingon setting order. Today with the East-west cold war over for 10 years, there arestill strong appeals for peace and stability, and demands for establishing a newinternational order. The War on Kosovo in the end of the 20th century is a sig-nificant attempt from the U. S. and other major Western powers to set up a newworld order without caring whether by means of force or even of war. This

The Transition of the international Order and China's Role

The international order is built on the principles of sovereign equality,national interests,great powers and respect for human rights among others.International rivalry and cooperation have existed side by side over the past few centuries,while the foundations of an international order have solidified.We are now seeing a transition in the international order that requires new innovative ways of thinking.China is seen as the key driver of these changes because of its unique status,pattern of growth and future potential.China should embrace this historic opportunity and take on its obligations to contribute to the birth of a new modern international order.

On the “International Law-Based International Order”

In recent years,some countries have advocated a“rules-based international order.”However,they have not explicitly defined the“rules”here as“international law”and thereupon elaborated on their view of the rules for the international order.In fact,a series of legal practices implemented by these countries indicate that what they pursue is largely a view of rules that prioritizes domestic law over international law and regional international law over universal international law,and that politicizes international law.This view of rules undermines the role of international law in the international order and violates the requirements of the times for improving global governance and promoting the establishment of a more just and reasonable international order.To correct the view of rules pursued by these countries through the advocacy of a“rules-based international order,”China proposes an“international law-based international order.”The view of rules embodied in the“international law-based international order”recognizes that international law based and centered on the UN Charter is the authoritative system of rules governing international relations,while not excluding the role in the international order of other rules that do not violate international law.

Reforming the International Order

The accusation that China is seeking to overhaul the current international order is often lobbied by Western nations in their attempts at provocation and containment.But is China really fomenting such a change?The remarks of Chinese President Xi Jinping on numerous international occasions suggest not.China is in fact a beneficiary of the current international system,and the process of reform and opening up continues to adapt China’s domestic conditions to better fit this

Current International Order and China's Role

It is our great pleasure to meet and exchange views with you all.For scholars like us,who care about and do research on international situation,the key is to grasp the essence through phenomena.At the current stage,the world economy is experiencing a slow recovery and the geopolitics undergoing profound changes,

世界进入新的动荡变革期与新时代的中国

The world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century.As the changes are accelerating,their impact is intensifying.International politics is experiencing a return to realism,and the rise of hegemonic power is antagonizing global relations.Globalization has encountered setbacks,and world economic growth is contracting.The international order is tumbling and is facing reconstruction.Nontraditional security threats have become more diverse.Great power conflicts are looming large.The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has drawn a magnificent blueprint for constructing Chinese-style modernization.China,a responsible power in its historic rise,will be a stabilizing force in a turbulent world and a constructive force for global transformation.China provides stability,positive energy,great global peace,and development opportunities.

国外同性婚姻在我国的法律适用问题

法律界和医学界对待同性恋的立场经历了宽容、视为罪孽、视为病态、视为正常的历史演变。世界上已经有越来越多的国家和地区立法认可同性恋和同性婚姻。目前我国不承认同性婚姻,法院在审理国外同性婚姻所涉及的案件时对其均以公共秩序保留予以排除。实践证明,完全否认国外同性婚姻的域外效力会导致诸多不良后果,特别是依附该关系而成立的其他民事权益将无法保护。国外同性婚姻在我国的法律适用方面的立法尚属空白,我国应该借鉴国外经验并加快立法构建。

从俄乌危机看非国家行为体的作用与影响

TheRussia-Ukrainecrisiswas araremilitary crisis between European powers after the end of the Cold War,which led to confrontation between Western countries and Russia.Such a crisis also triggered the extensive involvement of nonstate actors,such as international capital giants,small and micro technology enterprises,emerging international platforms,and multinational corporations.Nonstate actors play an important role in international politics.Benefiting from the development of globalization and the accelerated evolution of the digital age,nonstate actors have exerted a significant influence on the international pattern by intervening in the competition between countries,participating in the process of global governance,and influencing the thoughts of science and technology.These actors have become an important variable affecting the world.The rising role of nonstate actors has many implications for China to expand its strength and safeguard national interests and security.

新冠疫情与百年变局

The COVID-19 pandemic can be compared to a world war that makes the existing international order unsustainable.The pandemic is interacting with global changes unseen in a century and exerting major impacts on international politics,world economy,major-country relations,the geostrategic landscape,global governance,and development models.In the next three to five years,the international landscape will be a chaotic situation,highlighting not poles but competing states and transformation,thus making it more difficult for major countries to cooperate while medium-sized and small states have to huddle for warmth and seek a way out within their respective regions.Although further observation is required during the ongoing pandemic and worldwide economic recession,some major trends in the world have emerged.A restart to China's international relations is called for.

从新冠疫情管窥国际政治新旧时代转换

Three recent crises,namely the 2008 financial crisis,rising populism and the COVID-19 pandemic,have revealed inherent defects within the liberal international system,the shaky international power structure bemired in major power competition,the crumbling post-Cold War world order and a misty future for international politics.Together,institutions,power structures and states are determining the direction of a new international order;with all three variables holding multiple possibilities,the future is far from certain.The shift from old to new world orders usually takes several decades,with the transitional period being the most turbulent and disorderly.Major events can accelerate,precipitate or put these changes to the test.The COVID-19 pandemic in particular has cast significant impacts on the international order,and the disparities between countries in their response to the pandemic will affect international power dynamics and the building of a new world order.

Realization and Protection of Right to Development after Victory of World War Ⅱ

This year marks the 70 th anniversary of the anti-Fascist war, and the right to development is also born during the war. In other words, the right to development is a product of the struggle of developing countries to break the old international order. Therefore, to study the right to development is of profound and realistic significance for human rights protection. The author will start from the meaning of the right to development, trace the course of its formation and evolution, and then by taking history as a mirror, discuss the realization and protection of the right to development, propose some relevant suggestions, so as to promote the development of a new international order and meet the new requirements of globalization.

Alternative Order Without Alternative Norms?

The Chinese government,especially under President Xi Jinping,is willing to propose an alternative to the existing US-led international order.Accordingly,new or alternative understandings of and approaches to the international order that are more finely attuned to China are increasingly sought,and it is therefore not surprising that the Chinese International Relations(IR)community is attempting to establish the conceptual or theoretical sources and normative rationales for an alternative international order by developing indigenous IR theories that reflect“Chinese characteristics”.However,whether China is able to define and actualise a“new normal”in international relations—whether,that is,it can have and exercise“normative power”—is contingent on the recognition of Chinese discourses of that alternative by other actors.A key question,then,is:if and to what extent are Chinese alternatives recognised beyond China?I address this question,with a focus on the issue of knowledge transmission and sharing in three large East Asian IR communities.More specifically,I analyse their conceptual,theoretical,and epistemological orientations.I also compare the orientations with American IR scholarship,using various forms of evidence,including the most recent Teaching,Research,and International Policy survey data.

Arrival time fluctuation of higher order normal modes caused by solitary internal waves

The sensitivities of the normal modes arrival time to solitary internal waves （IWs） are analyzed by using the SW06 environments. Simulation results show that the arrival time of mode 1 is relatively stable. But, there are some higher-order normal modes which arrive earlier than mode 1, and fluctuate with the appearance of solitary IWs. Explanation of the phenomenon is given based on ray theory. It is shown that, when thermocline falls down to some depths, those higher-order modes with a group of definite grazing angles mainly propagate above the thermocline and arrive earlier.

Toward a Two-Dimensional Supramolecular Organic Framework with High Degree of Internal Order via Amphiphilic Modification

Solution-phase self-assembly of two-dimensional(2D)networks with a high degree of internal order and long-range periodicity is a great challenge.Herein,we report a rational design to improve 2D self-assembly in water through amphiphilic modification of the building block.An amphiphilic tritopic molecule(1)is designed and synthesized by introducing three hydrophilic oligo(ethylene glycol)moieties and three hydrophobic hexyl chains.The assembly of 1 and cucurbit[8]uril(CB[8])leads to the formation of a Janus 2D supramolecular organic framework(SOF),which further creates unique bilayer supramolecular networks and exhibits an unprecedentedly high degree of internal order and long-range periodicity.In contrast,the assembly of a nonamphiphilic analog(2)with CB[8]only generates a 2D SOF with a lower degree of internal order,suggesting that the inherent amphiphilicity of 1 plays a crucial role in improving its 2D self-assembly in aqueous phase.

Nationalism inside out:an ethical review

The roles that nationalism has played in modern history are highly controversial.While the growing literature on the subject has offered refined empirical analyses,it leaves major ethical inquiries out of the picture.This paper fills the void by examining the prevalence of nationalism through the lens of a fundamental philosophical divide between communal particularity and human universality.I first discuss the tension between moral/cultural relativism and liberal internationalism to understand the crux of the‘nationalism problem’;and then I move to consider the bright and dark sides of nationalism with reference to its historical manifestations so as to explore its potentials as a constructive force in future political life.I argue that nationalism is a response to the ambiguous normative underpinnings of the world system.It seeks to come to terms with the fragmentation of politics caused by the diversification of social values.As a living concept,nationalism continues to evolve with new trends of modern life.This research looks beyond the scope of national politics to examine the‘nationalism problem’.To reify nationalism as a fixed set of extremist doctrines and practices risks undermining the international society’s capabilities to engage nationalistic events wisely and creatively.
