论WTO区域贸易协定透明度机制委托执行机构的结构调整

区域贸易协定透明度机制经过四年多的实践,其运行模式已经得到WTO各成员方的普遍赞同。然而,实践中所暴露出来机制委托执行机构工作上的职权模糊和运行冲突,被不少成员归咎于现有委托执行机构机构的不合理。一些成员方因此提议简化现有的委托执行机构,形成由区域贸易协定委员会单一运行的结构模式。然而,单一的委托执行机构不仅难以解决当前的实践问题,还会给透明度机制的实施带来更大的困境。在保留目前委托执行机构机构结构的前提下,归纳总结目前机制所暴露的瑕疵,明确机构职能的划分,进而通过简化数据提交,规范通报和审议文本,无疑能使透明度机制的运行更加顺畅,整个体制也更加完善。     

近百年来地域文学研究的回顾与反思

前人很早就关注到了文学的地域性,但多停留在感悟式体验层面上。地域文学进入理性的研究阶段始于刘师培,不过,地域文学研究在上个世纪并未受到重视,学者的研究多处在自发阶段。进入本世纪后,地域文学研究开始由自发阶段向自觉阶段转变,地域文学研究也日趋火热。但由于地域文学本身较复杂,研究起步也较晚,因而还存在诸多问题,后继研究者须引起重视。

Applications and Implementation A SEPARABLE PROGRAMMING APPROACH TO EXPECTED COVERAGE: AN APPLICATION TO AMBULANCE LOCATION

The maximum expected covering location problem (MEXCLP) is reformulated using a separable programming approach. The resulting formulation—nonlinear maximum expected covering location problem (NMEXCLP)—guarantees optimality and also solves more quickly than previous heuristic approaches. NMEXCLP allows two important extensions. First, minor formulation changes allow the specification of the minimum number of times each node is to be covered in order to satisfy expected coverage criteria. Second, coverage matrices can be constructed that consider two different types of coverage simultaneously. Both extensions are useful for ambulance location problems and are demonstrated in that setting.

Presence Through Absence: Phylloxera and the Viticultural Imagination in McLaren Vale,South Australia

Grape phylloxera is an insect pest that has destroyed vineyards and brought ruin to winegrowing regions worldwide. In South Australia, however, strong biosecurity regulations have ensured it has remained absent. In this absence phylloxera takes on powerful symbolic value, and regional viticultural identities may be imagined in relation to the presence of phylloxera elsewhere. This paper draws from ethnographic research with grape growers and wine producers in McLaren Vale, a region whose vineyards are understood through this ‘phylloxera-free’ paradigm. The article specifically explores controversies around modification of South Australian biosecurity regulations in a way that favoured large winegrowing corporations’ need to more easily move material between regions, to the perceived detriment of vineyard security. The phylloxera risk has economic, social and symbolic dimensions in McLaren Vale, where the insect has become symbolically aligned with the most impersonal, pervasive and destructive aspects of globalised wine capitalism.     

Policy Diffusion and Policy Transfer in Comparative Welfare State Research

For many years, comparative welfare state research has followed a ‘methodological nationalism’ in the sense that countries were treated as independent units. Yet the recent ‘spatial turn’ in comparative politics has also influenced welfare state research. For some years now, the field has been witnessing a growing interest in questions about interdependencies and policy diffusion between countries. In this article, we provide a structured overview of the state of the art in the policy diffusion and transfer literature that deals specifically with social policy. We present and critically evaluate existing theoretical concepts and quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches that enable the analysis of interdependencies between countries. Moreover, we summarize the empirical findings of quantitative and qualitative studies on the diffusion and transfer of social policy, from some pioneering studies to the latest findings. Against this background we point out what we believe to be promising avenues for future research. We focus on five areas: theoretical work on the mechanisms underlying diffusion and transfer; methodological approaches; the impact of domestic institutions and policy characteristics on social policy diffusion and transfer; programme‐specific dynamics; and the systematic combination of horizontal and vertical interdependencies.

China’s GDP: Examining provincial disparities (1952–1998)

Accompanying rapid economic growth in China, there have been provincial disparities. This article presents and analyzes the evolution of Chinas provincial GDP per capita disparity between 1952 and 1998. First, an examination of some basic indicators of disparity is carried out, and a test for unconditional convergence is performed to explore the dispersion features. Then, a more comprehensive regression analysis, allowing insights into the evidence of conditional convergence and highlighting the main determinants of growth in two main periods of the recent history of China (i.e., prereform and postreform) is presented. Finally, a discussion and conclusion are provided.
