中美冲突趋向“非零和”

核武器、远程投射和精确制导技术的掌握使中美两国在未来可能的军事冲突中互无绝对的胜算,经济全球化又使中美两国的经济利益交融互补,因此,在军事和经济两方面的钳制之下,中美之间可能被激化的冲突已不可逆转地趋向“非零和”。

Globalization and the German model of capitalism – erosion or survival?

The German business system has been regarded as a particularly tightly coupled system, with embeddedness of even multinational companies (MNCs) in their home base as particularly deep. A study of the impact of companies' changing internationalization, if not globalization, strategies is therefore especially suited to test competing claims about their effects on the German business system. Are we experiencing an erosion of this system, an adaptation in a largely path‐dependent way, or even a greater specialization and stronger crystallization of the German business system? To investigate these questions, the paper examines a small number of German MNCs in their domestic and international context. More particularly, the work focuses on whether and how their emergent globalization activities affect the reproduction or erosion of the three institutional complexes which shape the factors of production: the financial system; the innovation system; and the industrial relations system. The paper concludes that a new type of transformation – hybridization – is emerging. It is regarded as a consequence of German companies' growing integration into a global economic system.     

全球化进程与当代民族主义

全球化是当今世界最重要的特征之一。全球化促进人类社会进步的同时,也使处于弱势的发展中国家为全球化付出了代价。当代民族主义的勃兴一定程度上是全球化代价的承受者所做出的必然反应。全球化进程中的民族主义浪潮反映出当代世界政治、经济、国际关系中并行而又相悖的矛盾现象。     

Globalization and income inequality: Implications for intellectual property rights

This paper examines the impact of globalization on income inequality for a cross-section of 62 developing countries over a period of 17 years (1985–2001). The results of the study indicate that globalization explains only 15% of the variance in income inequality. More specifically, the results show that (1) strengthening intellectual property rights and openness are positively correlated with income inequality; (2) foreign direct investment is negative and significantly correlated with income inequality but this is not robust to different model specifications; (3) the institutional infrastructure is negatively correlated with income inequality. The study's findings and the review of the literature suggest that globalization has both costs and benefits and that the opportunity for economic gains can be best realized within an environment that supports and promotes sound and credible government institutions, education and technological development.     

Strangers in a Strange Land: Shock,Disappointment, and Adjustments Experiences of Expatriates in Central Asia

Increasing globalization is driving an increase in diversity and interaction. A more mobile and international workforce frequently requires that individuals try to understand the norms of their “new” society. This paper provides a preliminary exploration of the types of issues and concerns raised by expatriates working in a new foreign environment. In particular, the paper uses a hybrid survey/interview methodology to identify specific issues raised by expatriates working in Kazakhstan, Central Asia.

Globalization and global identification: a comparative multilevel analysis

This paper focuses on the relation between national and global identification and the impact of globalization on this relation. The multilevel approach drew survey data from 89 countries, country-level measures of globalization enabling an examination of globalization effects on the relation between national and global identification. A negative link obtained between national and global identification in most of the countries, the cross-country variation of this link is related to globalization. Countries characterized by rapid globalization exhibit a lower negative relation between national and global identification than those marked by lower levels of globalization change.     

全球化时代的资本主义和民主斗争路径——艾伦·伍德与哈特、奈格里之争

针对全球化和民主的关系问题,艾伦.伍德采取马克思主义对资本主义的总体性批判方法,沿着政治经济学的进程分析了"新帝国主义"的本质并提出了全球化时代的民主反抗方向;哈特和奈格里则在后现代主义的思维方式下重新定义了"帝国"并构想"全球公民权"以推进全球民主事业。比较而言,伍德的方法和结论对于我们剖析资本主义新阶段的特质和民主事业的前景更具有启发和示范意义。     

后现代社会的消费文化及其审美特征

王宁认为,消费文化是后现代消费社会特有的产物,与现代主义的精英文化有着明显的差别;它的一部分格调高雅的产品有可能被提升为精英文化产品,但更多的产品则会随着时光的流逝而成为过眼云烟。王一川指出,中国当前消费文化并没有简单地按费瑟斯通所铺设的"商品世界及其结构化"大道迈进,多重文化因子在其中起着复杂的拉动作用,形成彼此错时或错位关联,因而使出现了身体在热烈消费而头脑却在冷峻思考的悖谬现象。包亚明认为,消费主义的逻辑不仅成为了社会运用空间的逻辑,而且也成为了主导日常生活的文化逻辑;在全球城市的风景背后,精英阶层的消费文化"诉求"已经被合理化、自然化为与世界接轨的先决条件。陆扬认为,消费文化的全球化面临着美国文化主导其中这个难以回避的问题,假如认为美国文化纯粹是由图像和声响刺激起来的消费主义,那将是过低估计了它对中国文化发扬光大自身民族传统构成的挑战。
