Central Asia’s Foreign Relations:A Comparison Between the Soviet and Post-Soviet Era

Central Asia’s pivotal geographical position allowed it to play an essential role in relations among nations of Eurasia in the Middle Ages,as the bridge between China and Europe.Yet,during the Russian and then the Soviet rule on Central Asia,the region’s republics had no independent position in international community as foreign relations were formed and managed by central government in Moscow.The collapse of the Union of Soviet in 1991 made salient the geopolitical,economic,and cultural importance of the five former Soviet Central Asian republics.Accordingly,the republics reemerged as independent actors in the global interstate system and could play a role in international affairs during the last three decades.This paper aims to compare Central Asia’s foreign relations in the Soviet and Post-Soviet era.

Iran-Turkmenistan Relations:Cross-Border Ethnic Groups and Comprehensive Governance Strategies

This study delves into the bilateral relations between Iran and Turkmenistan,focusing on the multidimensional impacts of cross-border ethnic groups,cultural diplomacy,and energy cooperation.The research reveals that despite challenges in security cooperation,such as regional political ideological differences and uneven power distribution,Iran has adopted diverse strategies to enhance cultural identity,social cohesion,and promote economic cooperation.Iran actively seeks to repair relations with Turkmenistan by emphasizing shared historical and cultural backgrounds,particularly the presence of cross-border Turkmen ethnic groups.Specific measures include developing cultural tourism,organizing cultural weeks,and establishing commemorative days.In the economic sphere,the two countries have signed significant natural gas supply agreements,strengthening energy cooperation.Iranian leaders often emphasize“blood ties”and deep cultural connections in diplomatic statements,combining cultural diplomacy with practical economic cooperation.The study’s findings indicate that Iran’s initiatives have led to the reorganization of national space and social reconstruction in border regions,promoting changes in public policy.By integrating cultural identity,historical connections,and economic interests,Iran has adopted a sophisticated diplomatic approach,laying the foundation for more stable and enduring bilateral relations while contributing to regional stability and sustainable development.

Shifting Great Power Relations: Toward Consolidation of US Hegemony

The series of unilateral foreign policies taken by US President Donald Trump has worsened relations between the US and other powers including China, Russia, the EU and Japan, prompting their officials to turn to seeking bilateral arrangements when need arises. Though among these countries there is willingness to cooperate, the US seeks to consolidate hegemony. The US focus is to contain China and sanction Russia in economic and trade fields. In geopolitics and security, the EU and Japan are heavily dependent on the US and follow the US lead.

The Redirection of US Foreign Strategy against the Background of Globalization

American foreign strategy has had strong continuity since World War II despite differences among successive presidents. Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign revealed ideas and goals for US strategy and strategy adjustment that differ significantly from those of predecessors. The decline in relative gains and rise in cost for US involvement in globalization are reasons for Trump to redirect US foreign strategy. The relative decrease of both US trade and foreign direct investment in the US, amid security threats and the identity crisis of the American people, has tremendously increased the pricetag for US involvement in globalization.

Trump’s America:International Relations and the Construction of They-Images

Unequal power balances(or power ratios)between human beings,including unequal power ratios between nations,distort mutual perceptions in systematic,recognizable ways.And changes in power ratios over time are associated with shifts in perception.The power position of the USA in global affairs affects Americans’“we-images”of their own country and their(often inaccurate)“they-image”of the outside world.It also affects the outside world’s they-images of the USA.Norbert Elias’s theory of established-outsider relations is drawn upon to suggest how these may all be affected by the relative decline of American power.

Ethiopia’s Foreign Policy in the New World Order System: Foreign Policy Direction and its Determinants

Similar to other countries in the world,there is a linkage between domestic and international actor forces involved in the formulation of Ethiopian foreign policy,since 1991.Obviously,this is due to the fact that foreign policy and domestic politics are interdependent and could spill over into each other.As the goal of every country’s foreign policy is promoting national interest,Ethiopian foreign policy among other things achieving economic development through economic diplomacy.This study aimed to explore determinants of Ethiopian foreign policy in the post 1991.Methodologically,it employed secondary source of data collection and data analysis.The result of this study would shade light on the set of factors that determine Ethiopian foreign policy with the change of global world order from bipolar to multi polar system.It highlighted the challenges and opportunities faced in realizing policy goals by taking into account certain bilateral relations Ethiopia has as case study.The change of global political order witnessed within the end of Cold war has also implications on the Ethiopian foreign policy.As a result of New World Order system,Ethiopian foreign policy orientation is changed from purely stubborn Marxist ideology,to flexible developmental state with numerous alliances,paying great emphasis for economic development,at the expense of security issue.

新时代中国国际法学科体系的构造

构造新时代中国国际法学科体系,既是为了进一步落实习近平有关学科建设的指示精神,也是为了改变国际法在整个法学体系中的地位与中国世界大国的地位不相称的状况,以及弥补我国涉外法治人才严重短缺的短板。中国国际法学科体系的构造,需要进一步厘清涉外法、涉外法治、对外关系法、国内法与国际法的关系,以及涉外法学、国际法与法学一级学科的关系。在中国国际法学科体系构造的过程中,最为重要的是构建国际法学一级学科专业。未来中国国际法学发展的任务主要包括:弘扬国际法治理念、为人类命运共同体的构建提供法治保障,传播中国国际法观、提升中国国际法理念的国际影响力,提高运用国际法的能力以及补齐涉外法治的短板等。涉外法治人才培养和推动国际法研究的理论创新,则成为今后中国国际法学者的应然使命。未来中国国际法学的发展方向涉及架设国际法与国内法沟通的桥梁、谨慎使用“涉外法学”名称,以及在国际法教育与研究中凸显中国的国际法理论与实践等。

习近平法治思想指导下国内法治与涉外法治的统筹推进——基于中国式现代化法治国家的构建视角

作为新时代习近平法治思想的重要组成部分,统筹推进国内法治与涉外法治是在准确把握国际国内两个大局的基础上,又立足法治中国建设的实践进程和面临的风险挑战,为更好地维护国家主权、安全和发展而提出的,对中国式现代化法治国家构建有着积极作用。既符合时代发展逻辑,更能加快法治中国建设步伐,有助于国际法治朝着良性轨道发展,是内蕴开放性、包容性和多元性理念的关键选择。统筹推进国内法治与涉外法治,应当在习近平法治思想指导下,以党的二十大精神为指引,以构建中国式现代化法治国家为出发点和落脚点,以厘清国内法治与涉外法治间的相互关系为基本逻辑,以明晰与完善国内国际双重法律规制为具体实践路径。不仅要重点解决国内法治与国际法治的良性对接问题,完善国内法律体系以应对国际法治变革,更要认真审视国际法律规范在我国域内的适用,积极推动国际法规则的发展演进。

涉外法治人才的分类与培养模式探讨

习近平总书记指出:“要加强涉外法治人才建设”。涉外法治人才包括涉外法律人才和国际法治人才。他们因工作侧重点不同,职业素养和外语能力要求也不一样。涉外法律人才与国内其他类型的法律人才没有本质区别,都是适用中国法律解决具体问题,只不过涉外法律人才因其工作的涉外特点,还要了解相关国家的法律和掌握这个国家的语言。国际法治人才是适用国际规则处理国与国之间的关系和解决全人类共同关心的问题。因此,除了熟悉相关国际条约,国际法治人才还必须精通国际通用的工作语言。涉外法律人才用他们的法律专业知识化解各类涉外纠纷,推动我国的经济建设和对外开放;国际法治人才在处理好国与国关系的同时,还要履行维护世界和平、促进全人类共同繁荣的使命。

论涉外法治关系的法理结构及实践意义

本文从一个全新的法理视角来阐释从党的十八届四中全会《中共中央关于全面推进依法治国若干重大问题的决定》(以下简称《决定》)提出的“加强涉外法律工作”到党的十九届四中全会《中共中央关于坚持和完善中国特色社会主义制度推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化若干重大问题的决定》(以下简称《决定》)确定的“加强涉外法治工作”政策术语演变背后的法理依据,并对作为习近平法治思想核心要义之一的“坚持统筹国内法治和涉外法治”的法理内涵进行了创新意义上的解读,其基本分析方法就是打破了传统法理学使用的法律关系概念的逻辑界限,用法理内涵和外延更加丰富的法治关系的概念来分析“统筹”国内法治和涉外法治关系中的各种法律问题,主张应当把制定法规则与法律秩序效果有机结合起来综合性地判断一个主权国家的法治状态,不能仅仅将研究视野停留在制定法规则占优势的传统法理上。本文在分析法治关系概念的建构功能时指出,在涉外法治关系体系中,法治关系的构成要素至少应当分为九个方面,包括法律规则要素、法律关系主体要素、法律关系客体要素、法律关系内容要素(主要是权利义务关系)、法律关系时空要素、法律关系手段要素、法律关系目的要素、法律关系效力要素和法律关系秩序要素。上述九个方面的法治关系构成要素只要其中一个类型的要素中包含“涉外”因素,那么,这种法治关系就具有了“涉外法治关系”的特性,就必须从整体上来协调法律关系中的法律规则与法律秩序之间的价值要求,统筹基于传统法律关系理论形成的“国内法治”与根据法治关系理论产生的“涉外法治”,以具有实效性的“法治”价值来保证涉外法律工作的制度化、规范化,不断提高涉外工作法治化水平。

加强涉外法治体系建设的顶层擘画——论学习贯彻习近平总书记重要讲话精神

习近平总书记在中央政治局第十次集体学习时就加强涉外法治建设所作系列重要论述,是马克思主义法治理论中国化的最新成果。“长远所需”和“当务之急”,凸显了新形势下加强涉外法治建设的重要性和紧迫性。中国涉外法治建设成就巨大、来之不易,但仍存在不少短板弱项,亟待弥补。我国海外利益全方位多层次高速度拓展,外部法律风险与挑战前所未有,干涉与反干涉、制裁与反制裁外交斗争激烈,客观上要求强化法治思维,善用法治方式,“以法斗法”“以法制法”,丰富外交斗争法律“工具箱”,一体推进涉外立法、执法、司法、守法和法律服务,形成涉外法治工作大协同格局。必须坚持统筹推进国内法治和涉外法治,不断完善涉外法治体系和能力建设,为中国式现代化行稳致远营造有利法治条件和外部环境。

普京总统第五任期的俄罗斯对外政策趋向

2024年,在俄乌冲突持续的背景下,俄罗斯迎来总统大选,普京再一次以较高的支持率胜选。普京胜选的主要因素包括:中央垂直管理的加强、制度建设和网络媒体管控,经济在止跌企稳中复苏,对外政策着重维护俄罗斯大国强国地位,民意基础坚实以及反对派势弱等。在新任期内,普京面临俄乌冲突持续、周边形势的恶化、统筹国家安全与经济发展等挑战,“危机应对”与“因势利导”成为俄罗斯对外政策的主要趋向。在可预见的政策时段,俄罗斯的对外政策及其团队和人员将保持稳定发展的特征。普京将会延续务实灵活的外交风格:对美国、北约和欧洲国家采取不同态度,缓和孤立局面;面对独联体国家对外部势力的逢迎采取不同对策,力求守住防线;因势利导,加速战略“转向”,发展与亚太国家及“全球南方”国家的关系;深化与中国的全面战略协作。困境下,俄罗斯重新布局对外政策,同时对外政策手段将具有更加多元化的体现。

新时代涉外法治人才全球胜任力教育的研究生课程体系改进

当前我国涉外法治人才培养功效不显、作用不彰的问题表明现行涉外法治人才的教育以及课程体系存在不足,未能把符合多元国际社会需要的全球胜任力涵盖其中。作为既能胜任竞争也可胜任合作的多维度能力,全球胜任力具有重要的时代价值,是我国涉外法治人才必须具备的能力,因而是我国新时代法学教育需要增强的领域。目前涉外法治人才培养的研究生课程体系普遍注重的是国际规则的知识与技能传授,却不够重视国际视野的提升,未能把全球胜任力有效地涵盖进去。在研究生课程体系的改进上,应当对“强化模块课程”加以调整,增加蕴含全球胜任力内涵的世界法律文化、比较法、可持续发展、人类命运共同体等专题课程,并将“素质提升课程模块”的讲座模式调整为相对固定的“讲座教授+”模式,注重涉外法治人才视野与价值观的提升。
