国际环境技术转移中的知识产权问题刍议

环境技术大多是以专利等知识产权的形式存在,为了实现专利权人的商业利益,跨国公司总是利用知识产权控制环境技术向发展中国家转移,因此,国际环境技术转移对知识产权具有高度的依赖性。《联合国气候变化框架公约》、《京都议定书》等环境公约对国际环境技术转移的规定具有模糊性,并且和《与贸易有关的知识产权协议》的规定存在矛盾。为了实现国际环境技术转移的目的,我国既需要坚持环境公约谈判中的“共同但有区别责任”原则,也需要对国内法进行相关法律制度的完善。     

国际刑法中儿童军承担刑事责任最小年龄研究

世界上没有一场战争是由儿童发动的,但当战争发生时儿童往往不可避免地卷入战争,甚至走向前线参与战事.这些无辜儿童一旦参与战事,就会发生侵害行为,导致严重的国际犯罪,触犯国际刑法.但各国刑法对儿童承担刑事责任年龄规定不统一,加之国际社会对儿童军刑事责任的最小年龄没达成共识,因此在国际刑法实践中导致儿童军的处境差异很大,甚至违背国际刑法人道主义原则.为实现对儿童军刑事责任的合理处理,《日内瓦公约》之《附加议定书》《联合国少年司法最低限度标准规则》《联合国儿童权利公约》《国内法与国际法原则下的未成年人刑事责任决议》都为此进行了努力,并取得了很大进展.但因为国际社会并没有对儿童军承担刑事责任最小年龄做出明确统一规定,加之从欧洲人权法庭司法审判和塞拉利昂特别法庭规约等实践看,国际社会要想合理地解决儿童军的刑事责任,国际社会就应明确统一规定儿童军承担国际犯罪刑事责任的最小年龄.

法治与全球治理机制的合法化

主体重塑是全球治理浮现和发展的重要特征,各种不同类型的政府间国际组织逐步转型为各具特点的全球治理机制是主体重塑的表现之一,但也引发了关于全球治理机制的合法性的追问。全球治理宪法化这一理论就是解决上述问题的一种尝试,但仍有其局限性。全球治理宪法化的主张实际上意味着一种从法治的角度推进全球治理机制改革及完善其合法性的努力。近年来关于联合国和世界贸易组织的法治化进程的讨论展现了这一思考进程的重要性。

Economic growth and welfare: How Foreign Direct Investment contributes to improving social order in less developed countries

Abstract

Does Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) promote development? And does it change social order? The attempt to answer these questions will always be controversial, because, first, the effects differ from context to context, and second, it is highly difficult to measure the (positive) spillovers of know-how and technology etc., as well as of contributions to enhancing social responsibility and improving the standards of living in the host country. The outcome will very much depend on how state governments, international bodies, the business world and non-governmental organizations collaborate. Likewise, interdisciplinary collaboration is required to research the issue, between well-trained economists, investment theory specialists, sociologists and ethicists. For this, our article combines a large number of arguments on market and investment theory, business ethics, John H. Dunning’s eclectic paradigm, etc. It examines whether there is practical evidence to support the assumption that doing business through FDI improves social conditions in less developed countries, and whether the logic for this to happen is rooted in ethical theory. The article contributes to insights from the appropriate sub-stream of the development, FDI and poverty/bottom of the pyramid literature, and to highlighting which trends should be followed in academic research. However, there are limitations to the article, which lie with the limitations of ethics frameworks, as these are often only constructed based on certain moral appeal, and only very few of them examine the incentive compatibility of such constructs.

Power distance and online organization–public relationship building: a comparative analysis of US and Chinese corporate websites

Informed by the dialogic perspective and Hofstede's power distance theory, this study examines mediated organization–public relationship building on corporate websites. The focus is on exploring how cultural differences influence American and Chinese businesses in addressing concerns and interests of a diverse set of publics. Findings show that corporate websites, whether American or Chinese, tend to converge on a global strategy. Business-oriented features tend to standardize, whereas business environment-oriented features are more likely to localize. Specifically, in relation to the former, we find that US and Chinese companies tend to target multiple audiences on their websites; the majority tailor their messages to customers, investors, employees, and the press simultaneously. Regarding the latter, we find that Chinese companies tend to target the government and US companies are more likely to address social corporate issues on their websites. These findings shed light on the longstanding issue in the literature of whether corporate websites should be culturally specific or universal. The managerial implications of the findings are discussed and recommendations for future research are given.     

非传统安全视野下的核问题与国际核合作

流俗的"非传统安全"概念过于狭隘,僵硬地区分传统与非传统安全问题。核问题并非传统安全问题,而是一种典型的非传统安全问题。国际社会应吸取切尔诺贝利核事故以及防治传染病、全球环境治理等方面的国际合作经验,及时展开围绕日本福岛核危机的国际核合作。     

儒家“贵和”思想对当代国际关系的价值

儒家“贵和”思想源远流长,其主要内容有“仁、礼、中和”,其思想精髓为“和而不同”。儒家“贵和”思想是中国古代哲学智慧,给当代国际关系以启迪,它所提倡的“和而不同”、“和不弃争”、“以和济争”、“协和万邦”具有超越时代的普遍意义,构成当代国际关系准则的普世价值,对当代国际关系起到协调作用,也为当代国际竞争优化模式提供借鉴。
