孔子学院的发展现状、问题及趋势

孔子学院是以教授汉语和传播中国文化为宗旨的非营利的公益机构，是海外朋友学习汉语了解中国的窗口，也是学习借鉴不同文化、促进多元文化交流发展而构建和谐世界的平台。作为汉语国际推广的龙头产品，孔子学院的建设已经初具规模，发展的势头引人瞩目。本文谨就孔子学院的发展现状、存在问题以及未来的趋势作一概括性的阐述和分析。     

International Tax Competition: A Case for International Cooperation in Globalization

The liberalization of international financial flows and foreign direct investment has induced countries to use diverse measures to attract inflow of foreign capital and foreign direct investment, which is expected to have a positive effect on the growth of GDP and thus a positive effect on social welfare. Tax exemption, reduction of tax rate, tax holiday, or diverse subsidies are some of the most important measures used. In this paper we study international tax cooperation, i.e., countries change and especially reduce tax rate for corporate income or for asset revenues to attract inflow of foreign direct investment. Both theoretical and empirical studies have shown the sensibility of foreign direct investment decision with respect to tax rate differences between home countries and host countries. In general, more inflow of foreign direct investment can be expected if the tax rate of the home country is lower than that of foreign countries. This is the main reason for international tax cooperation. In this paper we propose a simple model to prove the sub-optimal Nash non cooperative solution in a two-country tax-competition game. The model shows that international tax cooperation can improve welfare of the participating countries. How to reach a cooperative solution for an international tax competition game (ITCG) is therefore an important issue for further discussions and studies. International institutions can play a crucial role to reach international tax cooperation or international tax harmonization.     

我国西部发展软件业的战略思考

通过介绍美国犹他州和印度发展软件业的经验，分析了我国西部已经完全具备发展软件产业、成为国际软件外包服务市场的内部条件。IT和网络通信技术的成熟以及经济全球化发展与成本竞争压力，迫使欧、美、日等国企业改变业务流程和进行战略性资源重组，此举不仅促进了国际软件业外包趋势，也给我国西部带来了国际软件外包的巨大机遇。在内部条件和外部机遇都具备的情况下，重点提出了我国西部发展软件业的一些战略性建议。     

促进我国企业海外能源投资的国际法层面探析

分析了当前我国企业海外能源投资所面临的国际法制困境，指出我国政府应积极行动，力求与国外签订有利于我国企业海外能源投资的能源合作双边协定，并参与区域性及全球性有关国际投资、能源合作规则的制定，从而为企业海外能源投资营造有利的国际法制环境。     

国际公法对弱者的保护及其完善

鉴于弱者保护已成为国际社会普遍关注的热点问题,但时下无论是国内立法还是社会各界对弱者的特殊保护都不同程度地存在一些认识问题或实际问题,依照国际社会公认的保护弱者的国际公约,在对其一系列原则、制度和规则予以详细阐述的基础上,提出进一步完善该方面国际国内立法的思考和建议。     

论损害赔偿限额的非正当性——以国际航空运输承运人责任为例的研究

《华沙公约》及其华沙体制的一个显著特点,是建立了统一的损害赔偿限额。围绕损害赔偿限额的正当性与非正当性之争,在华沙体制建立伊始就已经开始了,并且一直是国际航空法上广受争议的问题。损害赔偿限额在侵权法中,并非严格责任或者推定过错责任的本质特征。损害赔偿限额在理论上缺乏正当性。国际航空运输承运人责任中损害赔偿限额的产生与发展对我国民用航空法具有重大的启示。     

中国国防建设的环境分析

在把中国国防建设的环境分为国际环境和国内环境的基础上,分别分析了中国国防建设的国内外环境的有利和不利因素,认为虽然中国的国防建设环境中存在一定的有利因素,但从整体而言,中国国防建设的环境十分严峻,并且针对此提出了自己的对策、建议。     

The ratification of ILO Conventions and the provision of unemployment benefits: An empirical analysis

This article tests the relationship between the ratification of International Labour Organization (ILO) Conventions and the provision of unemployment benefits. Statistical tests focus on two related issues: why countries ratify ILO Conventions on unemployment benefits, and whether ratification influences government spending on unemployment benefits. The main findings are that democracy, region, income, and globalization are the main factors influencing why countries ratify ILO Conventions on unemployment benefits. In turn, the ratification of ILO Conventions is systematically associated with higher spending if countries have ratified more than two Conventions.     

“承认”作为国家秩序与国际秩序的原则

费希特和黑格尔都在国家间的承认和个人阃的承认之间进行类比.在他们那个时代,西方国家的契约社会已经建立起来,个体之间不再需要为承认而斗争;在国际事务中,国与国之间仍然处干自然状态,仍需要为承认而斗争.当今世界,国家之间的相互承认已经成为国际交往的前提,承认范畴已经不再是国际法的逻辑起点.     

国外保障出版自由立法研究

《公民权益和政治权利国际公约》对出版自由以国际公约的形式对各缔国加以约束,不同社会制度、不同文化传统、不同发展阶段的国家的宪法或其他法律,对出版自由一般都有明文的规定。研究世界各国法律、法规对于出版自由的规定,可以对我国出版自由立法形成有益的借鉴,同时紧跟国际形势,推进我国的出版贸易。
