中韩钢铁产业内贸易及影响因素研究

针对中韩钢铁产业的总产业内贸易、水平型产业内贸易和垂直型产业内贸易的发展和特征进行了实证研究,发现在汇总水平上水平型产业内贸易是中韩钢铁产业内贸易的主要形式,而具体贸易产品组的产业内贸易模式却以垂直型产业内贸易为主.对中韩钢铁产业内贸易的影响因素分析表明,总产业内贸易和水平型产业内贸易与平均市场规模、人均国民收入差距、中国实际利用韩国的直接投资额以及中韩钢铁产业的贸易总额均有长期稳定的正相关关系,而与中国钢铁产业的规模经济以及中韩两国钢铁产业的技术差距负相关;垂直型产业内贸易除了与规模经济的相关关系为负之外,与其他影响因素的协整关系均是正向的.这种研究结论对我们的政策制订有一定启示作用.     

新疆对外贸易与环境保护协调发展思路探析

国际贸易与环境的协调发展问题越来越引起人们的关注。近年来新疆对外贸易连续增长，成为新疆经济增长的动力，但同时我们也不应忽视对外贸易所带来的环境污染问题。文章运用对外贸易的环境效应分析方法．得出新疆对外贸易的环境总效应为负的结论，认为，要扭转这种负效应局面，必须从转变经济增长方式、调整进出口商品结构、以环保为基点培育外贸竞争优势这几个方面做好工作。     

The Economic Partnership Agreements: Rationale,Misperceptions and Non‐trade Aspects

The European Union and the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries entered a new era in 2008. The Cotonou trade regime and the WTO waiver legitimising it have expired, and the long anticipated, and much debated, move to Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) has begun. This article explains the background and analyses the ‘alternatives’ to EPAs, in order to tackle common misperceptions. Moving on from what has been the focus of debates, namely, the reciprocal liberalisation required under WTO rules, it sheds some light on the non‐goods trade aspects of EPAs which, while integral to economic policy, are inherently hard to quantify and often skimmed over in existing studies or addressed in ideological terms.     

Economic Partnership Agreements: A ‘Historic Step’ Towards a ‘Partnership of Equals’?

This article argues that the EPAs initialled between the EU and less than half of the ACP countries do not represent a ‘historic step’ in EU‐ACP relations, but are the outcome of asymmetric power relations. Many ACP countries submitted hastily drawn up liberalisation schedules that did not consider whether their commitments were in line with those of their neighbours — with significant implications for regional integration processes. Further, the enforcement of EPAs is unlikely in some cases, given the decreasing attractiveness of the EU market and the Commission's dwindling capacity to sanction non‐compliance by withdrawing preferences. If the EU wants to see EPAs implemented, it is vital that the process and outcome are owned and supported by both sides.

香港对外律师服务贸易法律制度

香港对律师实行政府立法、法院监管、律师协会具体行使管理权的模式。按香港现行规定,外国律师可以在香港登记执业,但在执业资格、业务范围、执业组织形式等方面受到严格限制。面对经济全球化和国际律师服务贸易自由化的深入发展,香港是继续维持现有的限制措施,还是改革对外律师服务贸易法律制度、进一步开放市场,是香港律师管理部门不得不面临的一个抉择。     

明代重农抑商政策的演变

明代统治者对工商业的政策是复杂而又多变的，在不同时期有不同的特点。简单地以重农押商来概括明代工商业政策既不符合历史实际，也无法解释其问政策变化的情况，更无法说明明中后期社会经济生活中出现的新现象。文章试图通过从制度、制度环境和明中期出现的社会现象入手，对明王朝的重农押商政策和举措进行分析，以探究其政策的内在逻辑和演变规律。     

The Permeable Border: Examining Responses to North American Integration in Video Art

Abstract

In this essay, I suggest that artistic production provides valuable insights into the nature of the Canada-US border during the late-twentieth century when significant changes were occurring to dominant understandings of Canada in relation to North America. Focusing on the medium of video art, I trace the sustained engagement of Canadian contemporary artists to respond to and comment on the move towards continental integration through free trade. I contextualize my discussion in relation to trade developments that opened Canada’s border with the US, such as the 1989 implementation of the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement. This agreement, along with the later North American Free Trade Agreement, led to increasing continental integration at the end of the twentieth century, as well as hope for hemispheric integration with the subsequent negotiations towards the Free Trade Area of the Americas. With attention to works by Lisa Steele and Kim Tomczak, Eva Manly, and Clive Robertson, I foreground cultural contributions to redefining the Canada-US borderlands. Here, I chart the artists’ intention to echo narratives of the border’s porousness and address the power dynamics between the Canadian state and its trade partners. Examining themes of cultural imperialism, colonialism, and national identity, I point to the importance of cultural production in assessing the borderlands and, more broadly, histories of free trade in North America.
