The Eurasian Economic Union: Development Prospects and Possible Obstacles

This article analyzes the development prospects and problems for the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). It examines issues of integration within the EAEU, as well as interactions with other countries, both CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) and non-CIS. The main problem of integration within the EAEU is the dominance of redistributive motives over productive ones. This article assesses the extent of Russian oil and gas transfers to EAEU partners and the impact of tax maneuvers on their size. It shows that the creation of mechanisms for redistributing profits within the EAEU will allow a positive economic effect to materialize from free trade agreements with non-CIS countries. The article assesses the risks for the EAEU related to Russia’s introduction of a unilateral ban on food imports from countries on the sanctions list and to the possible establishment of tariffs on trade with Ukraine.     

How do countries choose their monetary policy frameworks?

This paper investigates the determinants of countries’ choices of monetary policy framework. A brief narrative focused on groupings of countries motivates an econometric analysis which draws on previous work on the determinants of exchange rate regimes, bringing in standard factors as well as the trade networks of potential anchor currency blocs and the financial market depth that are emphasised in the narrative. The model turns out to be able to predict three quarters of countries’ choices, and there is no obvious systematic pattern in the errors. The results have important implications for how countries should choose their monetary policy frameworks.     

试析布哈林国民经济综合平衡发展理论

列宁逝世以后，布哈林继续坚持和捍卫列宁的新经济政策思想，并结合俄国的实际，针对当时苏联国民经济发展中出现的一系列问题，总结过去经济建设中的经验教训，系统地阐发自己的观点，从而形成了关于国民经济综合平衡发展的比较全面系统的理论。他认为，要使国民经济持续健康发展，必须尊重客观经济规律，重视市场调节的作用，使工业和农业、重工业和轻工业、农业内部、积累和消费之间保持综合平衡。在建设有中国特色社会主义的今天，重温布哈林的国民经济综合平衡发展理论，无疑会给我们以很好的教益和启迪。

美国对外贸易政策的历史考察

自北美独立战争结束以来,美国的对外贸易政策大致经历了五个阶段.其中保护主义始终贯穿于美国的对外贸易政策之中.虽然自由贸易有时偶占上风,但这种所谓的自由贸易是有条件的、相对的,是美国打着"互惠、公平、非歧视"的幌子,欲抢占别国市场.为了实现大资产阶级利益的最大化,美国总是将贸易保护政策奉为圭臬,这一政策才是无条件的、绝对的.

欧元长期低迷的外在制约因素分析

现在美国的经济增长速度开始放缓 ,而欧盟的经济状况在经历两年的调整之后进入一个比较稳定的发展阶段。从理论上来讲欧元的汇率应该有一个坚挺的趋势 ,但事实却相反 ,欧元却一直走弱。本文通过欧盟和美国对欧元态度的对比 ,对这种现象做了一些分析。美国出于自身的利益考虑不希望欧元走强 ;而欧盟各国也都乐于看到欧元疲软 ;与此同时市场投资者也对欧元信心不足。这些态度其实成了解释欧元汇率的走势为什么屡屡出乎预测家的估计 ,一直保持相对弱势的关键原因

Global Visions: Global Civil Society and the Lessons of European Environmentalism

To illuminate the obstacles to the development of a global civil society, the experience of the most developed transnational social movement—the environmental movement—in the most developed supranational political system—the European Union—is considered. National differences are shown to be persistent and there is little evidence of Europeanization. It is argued that the impediments to the development of a global civil society are yet greater and that, despite the advent of antiglobalization protests, global civil society remains an aspiration rather thanan accomplished fact
