Abstract: Even though the foregoing theories on international relations give different interpretations on this issue, they are actually interactional and overlapping. Also they seem to share more and more common features. With the acceleration of economic globalizationsince the end of the Cold War, nation states are increasingly interdependent in the energy sector while competition and coordination become the mainstream of international energy politics. Consequently all parties have put growing importance on international energy cooperation and its institutional construction. They believe that energy security should be achieved through international cooperation and coordination, for it is closely linked with sustainable development of economy and society as well as the external political and economic relations of nation states.
[摘要]上述国际关系理论虽然对这一问题给出了不同的解释,但实际上是相互影响、相互重叠的。而且他们似乎有越来越多的共同特征。冷战结束以来,随着经济全球化进程的加快,各国在能源领域的相互依存日益加深,竞争与协调成为国际能源政治的主流。因此,各方对国际能源合作及其机制建设日益重视。双方认为,能源安全与经济社会可持续发展以及民族国家对外政治经济关系密切相关,应通过国际合作与协调来实现。

Abstract: In the context of globalization, although governments maintain the leading role in shaping the image of states, the increasing bilateral economic and trade exchanges are gradually becoming an equally important, if not more important, element. The recent years have witnessed a continuous growth of trade between China and Arab countries – a newly established crucial trading partner and platform for practicing the “going-out” strategy. Thanks to both sides complimenting each other, a positive win-win situation has been achieved. However, as more and more Chinese merchandises and enterprises have entered the Arab world, certain problems have emerged, such as poor quality of merchandises, illegal operation of enterprises, and difficulties of certain Chinese employees integrating into local life. These economic and trade elements have become key factors in shaping China’s image in the Arab countries, and hence should not be left unattended.
摘要:在全球化背景下,虽然政府在塑造国家形象方面仍然发挥着主导作用,但日益增多的双边经贸往来正逐渐成为一个同样重要的因素,如果不是更重要的话。近年来,中国与阿拉伯国家贸易持续增长,成为中国“走出去”战略的重要贸易伙伴和平台。双方相互称赞,形成了积极的双赢局面。然而,随着越来越多的中国商品和企业进入阿拉伯世界,也出现了一些问题,如商品质量差、企业非法经营、部分中国员工难以融入当地生活等。这些经济和贸易因素已经成为塑造中国在阿拉伯国家形象的关键因素,因此不应置之不理。

Abstract: The global resurgence of religion and the return of religion from the so-called “Westphalia Exile” to the central stage of international religions have significantly transformed the viewpoints of both media and academia toward the role of religion in international relations (IR), and the challenges posed by religion to the contemporary international relations are often described as entirely subversive. The author argues that as a second-tier factor in the foreign policies of most countries and international affairs, religion and religious movements could neither shake the dominant role of “norm-setting” sovereign states in the international system, nor serve as a basis to “rebuild” IR theory. The paper concludes with a discussion on the implications of religion’s growing influence in IR for China, the importance of religion to the construction of China’s international image, and the feasibility of religion being developed as a resource for China’s public as well as people-to-people diplomacy.
摘要:宗教在全球范围内的复兴和宗教从所谓的“威斯特伐利亚流亡”回归到国际宗教的中心舞台,极大地改变了媒体和学术界对宗教在国际关系中的作用的看法,宗教对当代国际关系构成的挑战往往被描述为完全颠覆性的。作者认为,作为大多数国家外交政策和国际事务中的二线因素,宗教和宗教运动既不能动摇“制定规范”的主权国家在国际体系中的主导地位,也不能成为“重建”国际关系理论的基础。本文最后讨论了宗教在国际关系中日益增长的影响对中国的影响,宗教对中国国际形象建设的重要性,以及宗教作为中国公共和民间外交资源的可行性。

Abstract: There is growing concern among the users of financial statements about the level of frauds occurring in the business organization. The unexpected collapse of corporate giants such as Enron and WorldCom has driven those interested to pay more attention to the unethical practices in accounting systems. The phenomenon of Earnings Management (EM) is seen as one of the most problematic issues facing the accounting profession during the last few decades. It has been argued that EM misleads the users of financial statements. This is because when the managers alter earnings, the financial statements do not accurately reflect the economic wealth of the company, which ultimately leads to the gross violation of stakeholders' trust. The objective of this paper is firstly to address the ethical issue of EM and evaluate the progress of research in dealing with this issue where Islamic Structural Framework, based on Islamic creed (aqidah), can provide some insights into the behavioral pattern and actions that could be undertaken to reduce or eliminate the practice of EM. Hence, the paper proposes a structural framework of Islamic Aqidah and the practice of EM that functions as a guidance to direct the intentions as well as behaviors of managers towards a proper manner (derived from the Quran and Sunna).
摘要:财务报表使用者越来越关注企业组织中舞弊的程度。安然(Enron)和世通(WorldCom)等企业巨头的意外倒闭,促使那些感兴趣的人更加关注会计系统中的不道德行为。盈余管理(EM)现象被视为会计行业在过去几十年中面临的最大问题之一。有人认为新兴市场误导了财务报表的使用者。这是因为当管理者改变收益时,财务报表不能准确反映公司的经济财富,最终导致严重违背利益相关者的信任。本文的目的首先是解决EM的伦理问题,并评估在处理这个问题的研究进展,其中伊斯兰结构框架,基于伊斯兰教义(aqidah),可以提供一些关于行为模式和行动的见解,可以采取减少或消除EM的做法。因此,本文提出了伊斯兰Aqidah和新兴市场实践的结构框架,其功能是指导管理者的意图和行为走向适当的方式(源自古兰经和逊那)。

Large-Scale Upheaval in the Middle East and China’s Diplomatic Reactions 中东大规模动荡与中国外交反应

Abstract: Arab countries have been faced with a large scale Middle Eastern upheaval, which has attracted the attention of all the Middle Eastern countries and international community. The current situation is primarily related to the important location of the Middle East. Nearly all the Arab countries are involved in the upheaval. Omnifarious appeals are claimed by the people, including political, economic and social aspects. The problems have been accumulating for years, and the Middle East upheaval in 2011 was an overall outburst of people’s dissatisfaction. The cost of the unrest is high despite the social progress it may promote. At present, a fragile peace is realized in Syria though the prospect of future development is unclear. Since the outbreak of the Middle East upheaval, China has adopted a principle of “non-intervention in other’s internal affairs” and “mediating for peace while promoting talks” policy, which is appropriate and proactive. China should adhere to this practice in the future despite the voices of opposition and temporary misunderstanding.
摘要:阿拉伯国家面临着大规模的中东动乱,引起了中东各国和国际社会的高度关注。目前的局势主要与中东的重要位置有关。几乎所有的阿拉伯国家都卷入了这场动乱。人民提出了各种各样的要求,包括政治、经济和社会方面。这些问题积累了多年,2011年的中东动乱是人们不满情绪的全面爆发。尽管动乱可能会促进社会进步,但它的代价是高昂的。当前,叙利亚实现了脆弱的和平,但未来的发展前景并不明朗。中东局势动荡以来,中国奉行“不干涉内政”、“劝和促谈”的方针,是恰当的、积极的。尽管有反对的声音和暂时的误解,中国今后也应坚持这一做法。

The Oil Politics & Geopolitical Risks with China “Going out” Strategy toward the Greater Middle East 中国大中东“走出去”战略下的石油政治与地缘政治风险

Abstract: China- the Greater Middle East oil relations are of strategic importance to China's energy security. Beijing's energy security is mainly that of geopolitics in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). As the geopolitical conflicts in the MENA are defined as long-running and insolvable in the foreseeable future, oil supplies from these regions are inevitably unstable, which exerts direct impact not only on international energy market and oil prices, but also on China's energy security itself. Despite the substantial progress made ever the years in China-the Greater Middle East energy cooperation, restrictive factors such as resource nationalism are many, obstructing further development in this regard. Up to date, major cooperative breakthroughs are yet to be achieved in China's involvement in the exploration and production of the upstream sector in oil-rich Gulf countries. Pipeline politics is another challenge. Overall, China's incapability and policy for oil politics and geopolitical risks, the energy geopolitical risk will pose long-term impact on China's energy security. Accordingly, the paper tries to come up with some reflection concerning policies or policy proposals that may help to push China-the Greater Middle Eastern energy cooperation.
摘要:中国与大中东地区的石油关系对中国的能源安全具有战略意义。北京的能源安全主要是中东和北非(MENA)的地缘政治。由于中东和北非地区的地缘政治冲突在可预见的未来是长期性和不可解决的,因此该地区的石油供应不可避免地不稳定,这不仅对国际能源市场和油价产生直接影响,也对中国自身的能源安全产生直接影响。近年来,中国与大中东地区能源合作取得了长足进展,但资源民族主义等制约因素较多,阻碍了大中东地区能源合作的进一步发展。目前,中国参与海湾富油国家上游油气勘探和生产的合作尚未取得重大突破。管道政治是另一个挑战。总体而言,中国应对石油政治地缘政治风险、能源地缘政治风险的能力和政策将对中国能源安全构成长期影响。在此基础上,本文试图提出一些有利于推动中国-大中东能源合作的政策或政策建议。

Abstract: From crisis management to the overall planning, China’s response to the unrest in the Middle East has achieved great success. Today China must understand the influence of the unrest in the Middle East by taking the overall international and domestic situations into consideration, namely, understanding its influence as ’’tests in the external environment’’ and the changes it causes to the international setting of China; China must review its experiences of coping with the unrest in the Middle East and correct any flaws in its present policies; China must work out scientific, mid- and long-term strategies for the Middle East and corresponding measures. In particular, she should better its understanding of the strategic position of the Middle East and enhance her participation in Middle Eastern affairs while adhering to its traditional diplomatic principles.
摘要:从危机管理到整体规划,中国应对中东动乱取得了巨大成功。今天的中国必须从国际和国内的大局来认识中东动荡的影响,即把中东动荡的影响理解为“外部环境的考验”,理解为中东动荡给中国的国际环境带来的变化;中国必须回顾应对中东动荡的经验,纠正当前政策的缺陷;中国必须制定科学的中东中长期战略和相应措施。特别是在坚持传统外交原则的前提下,加强对中东战略地位的认识,加强对中东事务的参与。

From Hard Military Bases to Soft Military Presence: US Military Deployment in Iraq Reassessed 从硬军事基地到软军事存在:重新评估美国在伊拉克的军事部署
Pub Date : 2012-09-01 DOI: 10.1080/19370679.2012.12023209
Degang Sun, Y. Zoubir
Abstract: By the end of 2011, the US had closed all hard military bases in Iraq, but its “soft" military presence remained using private security contractors, military and intelligent officers located in the US embassy and in US consulates, US military training officers and consultants, and deployed special operation forces. Such soft military presence is of great importance and significance. At the national level, it helps Washington to stabilize and control the Iraqi situation; at the regional level, it can secure a strategic balance between Shi'a and Sunni sectors, which is essential for the US to respond to a rising nuclear Iran; at the global level, this soft military presence helps to cut US military expenditure and shift its strategic focus from the Greater Middle East to the Asia-Pacific regions. The soft military presence in Iraq reflects Obama's "New Thinking" Doctrine on military deployment in the Middle East, which resembles lily-pads with stronger mobilization and flexibility.
摘要:截至2011年底,美国关闭了在伊拉克的所有硬军事基地,但其“软”军事存在仍然存在,包括使用私人安全承包商、驻美国使领馆的军事和情报官员、美国军事训练官员和顾问,以及部署特种作战部队。这种软军事存在具有重要意义。在国家层面,它帮助华盛顿稳定和控制伊拉克局势;在地区层面,它可以确保什叶派和逊尼派之间的战略平衡,这对美国应对日益崛起的核伊朗至关重要;在全球层面,这种软军事存在有助于削减美国的军费开支,并将其战略重点从大中东地区转移到亚太地区。在伊拉克的软军事存在反映了奥巴马的中东军事部署“新思维”主义,就像荷叶一样,具有更强的动员能力和灵活性。

Political and Economic Analysis on SWFs of Saudi Arabia 沙特阿拉伯主权财富基金的政治经济分析

Abstract: Sovereign Wealth Funds established by Middle Eastern countries occupy an important position in world capital markets in terms of size or activity. However, regarding the establishment and operation of the funds, Saudi Arabia pursues a conservative investment strategy as a regional power, which is quite different from other Gulf countries. It is found that the economic conditions in Saudi Arabia, such as money supply, foreign exchange reserves, external debt and domestic economic development, which are generally considered to be the determining factors for the establishment of SWFs, were not favorable compared with those in the other GCC states in the last decades. However, even when those conditions have been improved since the beginning of this century, the performance of SWFs in Saudi Arabia still lags behind compared with other Gulf countries. As the economic indicators of the country will be studied, so will a political analysis be conducted in three specific perspectives: the significance of US dollar reserve for Saudi-US diplomatic relations, the deterioration of political environment of FDI in western countries after 9/11 and a mix of public and private ownership systems brought by the royal family. In the end, one can conclude that Saudi Arabia is a conservative investor on SWFs.
摘要:中东国家设立的主权财富基金无论从规模还是活跃程度上都在世界资本市场上占有重要地位。然而,在基金的设立和运作上,沙特阿拉伯作为一个地区大国,采取了保守的投资策略,这与其他海湾国家有很大的不同。研究发现,沙特阿拉伯的经济状况,如货币供应量、外汇储备、外债和国内经济发展等通常被认为是建立主权财富基金的决定因素,与其他海湾合作委员会国家相比,在过去的几十年里并不有利。然而,即使这些条件自本世纪初以来有所改善,沙特阿拉伯主权财富基金的表现仍落后于其他海湾国家。在研究该国经济指标的同时,也将从三个具体的角度进行政治分析:美元储备对沙美外交关系的意义,911事件后西方国家FDI政治环境的恶化,以及王室带来的公私混合所有制。最后,我们可以得出结论,沙特阿拉伯在主权财富基金方面是一个保守的投资者。

Abstract: Due to more than one-year's upheaval, many Middle Eastern countries experienced regime change, and Syria is the next target and center of this political swirl. The rise of Islamic force is a serious problem for these countries in transition to deal with. Because of this upheaval, the Middle Eastern configuration is facing challenges; the contradiction within regional powers is experiencing growth and decline. The adjustment of America's Middle East policy has affected the trend of Middle East situation. China's “non-interference in others' internal affairs” principle gains international society's interpretation, and China's diplomacy towards the Middle East is facing important opportunity and enormous challenges. China should seize the opportunity and seek the new development of China-Middle East relations.
摘要:经过一年多的动荡,许多中东国家经历了政权更迭,叙利亚是这场政治漩涡的下一个目标和中心。伊斯兰势力的崛起是这些转型国家需要应对的一个严重问题。由于这一剧变,中东格局面临挑战;地区大国之间的矛盾正经历着增减。美国中东政策的调整影响了中东局势的走向。中国“不干涉内政”原则得到国际社会解读,中国中东外交面临重要机遇和巨大挑战。中国应抓住机遇,谋求中国与中东关系的新发展。
