Expanding and Diversifying South Mediterranean Exports through Trade Facilitation

This article explores whether trade facilitation – i.e. improved and simplified trade procedures – could be an important part of the reform agenda of the Barcelona Process. Adopting a Southern perspective by focusing on exports to the European Union (EU) from non‐EU Mediterranean countries, it tests whether the efficiency of trade procedures affects (i) bilateral volumes of exports and (ii) the number of products exported. The findings suggest that trade facilitation could lead to substantially increased export volumes and export diversification.

Making it Work: Supporting Group Representation in a Liberal Democratic Organization

Providing oppressed social groups with rights of representation is one suggestion for counteracting bias towards privileged groups in society. In order to counteract a bias towards their white, male, heterosexual, able‐bodied membership, a number of trade unions have provided social groups with resources to self‐organize and represent their group interests to mainstream decision‐makers. However, enabling group representation at the same time as individual representation is problematic in trade unions that are organized along liberal democratic lines. This case study of UNISON shows that while the union supported the self‐organization of oppressed social groups, these groups were excluded from matters affecting pay and working conditions. The article argues that this outcome reflects the difficulty of reconciling the representation of social groups with the representation of individuals in a liberal democratic organization. The implications of this organizational framework are illustrated by contrasting the organizing strategies of two women's self‐organized groups. While one strategy (the organization of women shop stewards) fits the prevailing organizational structure, the other (the organization of all women) attempts to be different and may have more potential for counteracting the bias towards privileged groups in the future. The article argues that a radical organizational framework is required if oppressed social groups are to gain real power within trade unions.     

工人对工会的“不满”——来自湖北省三家国有汽车企业的实证研究

本研究基于对于H省三家国有汽车生产企业512名职工的问卷调查和30名管理者、工会官员和工人的半结构访谈的基础上完成.文章描述了职工对于企业工会的总体评价;职工个人特征与其对工会不同评价的关系.尽管工人中明显存在着对工会的不满,但绝大多数工人认为工会是必要的.文章讨论了职工对工会不满的表现和他们对于工会的不同期望.文章提出,仅仅将工人组织进工会是不够的,只要满足工人的期望,工人才可以真正地"保持"在工会中.     

Trade, education, and innovation: Prospects for the U.S. economy

This paper examines international trade issues as vital indicators of the economic prospects of the United States and other developed economies. In particular, it challenges misuses of the doctrine of mutual gains from trade and instead argues that comparative advantage does not guarantee increases in benefits to both trading partners—especially when one partner seeks to distort the market mechanism in its favor. In the face of such mercantilist or protectionist practices, efforts to advance innovation, without retaining manufacturing jobs, will not ensure continued prosperity, as the number of jobs entailed in the invention process is small compared with the number of jobs associated with manufacturing an innovative product for mass consumption. These matters call for the urgent rethinking of trade policy by the United States and other developed nations, if they are to balance their imports and exports and ensure continued economic growth.     

金丽使节“贡赐贸易”探析

金朝与高丽间的使节贸易分为四种类型,即贡赐贸易、私觌贸易、自由贸易和走私贸易。其中,金朝与高丽间的贡赐贸易存在＂三年一大聘＂的规则。同时,金丽两国对贡赐贸易的态度不尽相同。金朝看重的是在贡赐贸易中要始终保持其对高丽的宗主国地位,而高丽更加看重的是其所得的经济利益。在这两种不同态度的影响下,两国交流的内容也必然有所不同。     

会展业竞争力与省际贸易壁垒研究——基于中国省级数据的实证分析

现代会展业作为一种区域间联系的纽带,已日渐成为省际经贸合作的重要载体,正确认识会展业对贸易的激励作用有利于带动中国省际贸易与国际贸易的协调发展。文章通过构建会展业竞争力模型,衡量了中国29个省市的会展业竞争力水平,并对会展业竞争力与省际贸易壁垒的相关性进行了检验。实证结果表明,会展业竞争力与省际贸易壁垒之间存在负相关关系,会展业的繁荣有助于降低我国的省际贸易壁垒,推进省际贸易发展和国内经济一体化,缓解国内市场分割的现状。     

加快我国服务贸易发展的战略对策

我国服务贸易起步于20世纪80年代,虽然起步较晚但发展速度较快。目前我国服务业对外开放水平进一步提高,部分新兴服务贸易领域加快发展,出口增速正在赶超发达国家,服务贸易已具备了快速发展的条件。但同时我国的服务贸易发展总体仍比较落后,存在着服务贸易部门结构不平衡等诸多问题。文章分析了当前我国服务贸易的发展状况,针对当前所存在的突出问题,提出加快我国服务贸易发展的战略措施。
