Simulation results show that the arrival time of mode 1 is relatively stable. But, there are some higher-order normal modes which arrive earlier than mode 1, and fluctuate with the appearance of solitary IWs. Explanation of the phenomenon is given based on ray theory. It is shown that, when thermocline falls down to some depths, those higher-order modes with a group of definite grazing angles mainly propagate above the thermocline and arrive earlier.展开更多

Nations are scrambling to gain greater influence. The intemational strategic pattern is being adjusted. Many countries have problems with public management, and are faced with a new array of social trends and increasingly popular movements. The world is entering a new era full of chaos and anxiety. Mankind once again faces significant trade-offs and choices in peace and conflict, development and recession, openness and isolation, liberalism and conservatism. China strives to advocate win-win cooperation and lead the trend of reform and opening to maintain a favorable external environment despite world chaos, and enhance status and institutional fights in the international system. China's 30 years of development was successful in the process of integrating into the existing international system; China is a participant as well as a builder of the international system, rather than a challenger or a subversive. In the future, with a constructive attitude, China will promote the international system in a more reasonable direction together with international partners, in order to better safeguard world peace and security, and promote sustainable development throughout the world.展开更多

South Africa is the leading emerging power in Africa. As the core political philosophy that South Africa has been constructing in recent years, Ubuntu attempts to transcend the Western liberal democratic discourse, the Western African discourse and the nation-state discourse, in an attempt to build cultural confidence with African characteristics and to increase the power of discourse in the international arena. The content within the political philosophy of Ubuntu and the concept of a community of a shared future for mankind have a lot in common, which indicates a trend of emerging powers trying to build local political philosophies to surpass the Western political discourse system and to enhance their soft power in global nolitics.展开更多

In other words, the right to development is a product of the struggle of developing countries to break the old international order. Therefore, to study the right to development is of profound and realistic significance for human rights protection. The author will start from the meaning of the right to development, trace the course of its formation and evolution, and then by taking history as a mirror, discuss the realization and protection of the right to development, propose some relevant suggestions, so as to promote the development of a new international order and meet the new requirements of globalization.展开更多

A peaceful, prosperous and equitable world order encompasses internal order of sovereign states and interaational order of the international systems. Effective state governance nurtures internal order of sovereign states, eschews internal disorder, and prevents the spillover of negative externality into the international systems. In this sense, state governance is the cornerstone for constructing world order. In the meantime, effective global governance constructs world order and assists sovereign states in constructing internal order. In the construction of world order, different actors in the international systems represented by sovereign states inter alia must cooperate with a view to dissolving conflicts of interests and policies among states, managing global public domain, responding to common challenges and sharing responsibilities in assisting internally disordered states to govern effectively. Since the reform and opening up, China has contributed its distinctive part to the construction of world order by means of responsible state governance and global partnership governance.展开更多
