EDITORIAL: FINANCIAL CREATIVITY

This paper sets out the developments in world shipbuilding policy that have occurred in the past decade. It reviews and outlines the situation that existed in the late 1990s, when an Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) agreement on the elimination of shipyard operating subsidies was tantalisingly close. After the Introduction, the second section provides a brief review of the development of the industry over the past three decades, setting the context for developments since 1997. The third section discusses the complaint of the European Union (EU) to the World Trade Organization (WTO) concerning the Republic of Korea's support for its shipbuilding sector, and its counterclaim over the EU's temporary defence mechanism (TDM). It is argued that the core of the EU's case at the WTO was flawed, and that the reintroduction of an operating subsidy via the TDM was a mistake. The only prospect for regularizing competition in this area lies in the negotiation of the OECD agreement that was completed, but not ratified, in 1994. Given the souring of relations between two of the main players in this area, the prospects for such a settlement seem remote. The fourth section uses Olson's theory of groups to argue that the European Commission's actions were driven primarily by industry pressure groups, and failed to consider the potential views of other European stakeholders, in particular the taxpayers. Given the failure of the EU's action at the WTO, the future direction of European shipbuilding policy will have to focus on strategies for internal development and improved industrial competitiveness.     

Cultural Models of the Coast in Australia: Toward Sustainability

Cultural models of the coast affect—and are affected by—our marine ethics, frameworks for coastal ownership, and management practices. The coast can be seen as an ecosystem with intrinsic values, a commodity that can be bought and sold, a community place where people meet, a landscape with aesthetic appeal, a productive system that generates profits, a property to be managed, or a spiritual realm that relates to proper order and reverence. Each of these cultural constructions interacts with the others and this can create conflicts over rights and responsibilities. Each construction has implications for who should manage the coast, to what ends, and by what means. This article explores the negative and positive implications of seven cultural models to the Australian coast and makes suggestions about the value of Australian Indigenous and sustainability perspectives to a durable human relationship with the coast. Examples are drawn from recent coastal developments in Australia, such as Native Title debates, the marine protected area process, and Coastcare.     

中国传统文化对现代法制教育之影响探究

传统文化对现代法制教育的影响有两个大的方面:其一,中国"德主刑辅"的传统文化,使法律工具化,法律教育成为道德说教的附庸:其二,.中国传统文化注追求人际和谐,教育侧重法律的否定价值,而无法律信仰的培育。现代法制教育的目标和方向应当是培育公民信仰法律的价值观念和思维方式,从传统社会的权力文化向现代文明的权利文化的转换是法制教育的主题。     

论高校英语教学中"文化导入"模式的实施境况及演绎佳境

语言是人际之间有效的交流工具,故而语言离不开文化渲染,文化也必然依凭语言加以体悟.为此,高校英语教学中应注重加强文化内容的情趣化导入,继而要求学生洞察目标语的文化以及相关的人文观念、交际期待和审美情趣,力求规避不同的文化在词汇、句法、篇章等诸多方面存在的差异,涤除语言迁移中的交际障碍或语义误解,从而有效地提升大学生的综...
