Green, Reform, Win-Win

Boao Forum for Asia this year enjoys three highlights,namely＂Green,Reform and Win-Win＂. The old but hot topics attracted accumulated attention from the whole world,and more fresh ideas were ushered in.     

The Defects of WTO Anti-Dumping Rules and Related Reform

Since Canada made the first anti-dumping code in 1904,United States,Australia and France made their domestic anti-dumping codes successively.In 1947, the contracting parties made anti-dumping rules part of GATT （Article VI）.Due to the broad use of tariff and non- tariff trade barriers,few countries turned to anti-dumping measures in 1950s.Recently,because of the reduction of tariff and the restrictions on non-tariff barriers,the number of anti- dumping cases increases very quickly.For example,the total anti-dumping initiations in 1980 are 69,while the number of anti-dumping initiations in 2001 is 366.

Zero Stamp Tax？

A Third Eye On Two Sessions

China announced March 11 that it would reorganize the central government by creating five so-called superministries,including one responsible for improving environmental protection. But the plan stopped short of creating a single agency to oversee the contentious issue of energy oolicy.     

More Dangerous than a Safety Problem？

Made-in-China？

新兴市场应从波兰大变革中吸取的七条经验教训

人们普遍认为,后社会主义的转型是从波兰开始的。但这种说法并不全面。虽然促成1980年代深刻变革的各个进程确实在波兰获得了最大的推动力,但是其他中欧和东欧国家也并不是一成不变。另外,人们普遍认为,后社会主义的转型是从1989年开始的,发轫于波兰,然后在整个区域产生了连锁效应。对这个巨大转型带来的挑战,波兰在许多方面都比其他国家做得更好。其他国家,尤其是所谓的新兴市场国家必定能从波兰的转型中吸取到不少经验。对什么起作用,为什么起作用？什么不起作用,为什么不起作用等问题作更深入的考察,是有价值的。     

如何认识体验经济

一、体验经济的提出 自1998年美国Strategic Horizons LLP公司两位创始人B.Joseph Pine和JamesH.Gilmore在同年<哈佛商业评论>(Harvard Business Review)7/8月号期刊上发表<欢迎进入体验经济>(Welcome to the experience economy)一文以及1999年由哈佛商学院出版社出版两人合著的<体验经济>(The Experience Economy)一书以来,体验经济的提法日益受到人们的关注,尤其是在IT业更是备受青睐.然而值得回味的是,在之前近30年,著名未来学家阿尔文·托夫勒于1970年在其所著的<未来的冲击>一书中,虽早已提到继服务业发展之后,体验业将成为经济的支柱,但一直没有引起人们的注意.究其原因,一方面是因为托夫勒先生虽然提到继服务经济发展之后体验经济将会出现,但没有象前面提到的两位美国企业家那样作深入细致的分析;另一方面更重要的原因在于,世纪之交一系列经济和社会环境的变化,使得体验经济的重提,恰逢其时.那么有哪些变化使得体验经济的概念在世界范围内能够迅速传播呢?大致说来,主要有以下几个方面:     

如何利用全球价值链进行联合防御

转变的必要性过去30年间美国国防部一直致力于提升本土国防能力,保障内部资金运转。虽然有一定成效,但远赶不上科技变化和全球化创新及生产速度。与此同时,逐渐稀缺的资源和购买力的减弱也限制了国防部缩小技术差距的能力。(一)全球工业创新环境考虑到预算缩减的问题,国防部目前将主要精力集中在保护核心利益、平稳渡过财政危机以及尽量减少对现有运作模式的影响上。和国防部相关的技术研发
