As there is no global government, global financial governance typically involves a range of actors including states, as well as regional and international organizations aimed at negotiating responses to problems that affect more than one state or region, far from only providing the public good of financial stability through global economy integration and global financial legislation. In geopolitical context of the 21 st century, emerging economies still have maintained a low profile in global financial governance, despite their growing economic power and the rhetoric of being a responsible great power, and there is little evidence that they will seek international leadership. Moreover,compared to the other emerging powers in the BRICS(Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) group,China has under-participated in global governance in terms of contributing personnel, finance and ideas to major multilateral institutions and programs. It is really an interesting question in international economics and politics area. Firstly, this paper examines comparative data on the emerging economies countries' participation in global financial governance and explains the reason why China has relatively low involvement in global financial governance. Secondly, this paper analyzes norms and legitimacy in global financial governance, and thus outlines the emerging economies constraints on public policy of global financial market integration in the light of the foregoing analysis of legitimacy, accountability and democracy. Finally, some global financial governance development strategy and possible policy solutions are discussed as well.展开更多

However, there is no definitive conclusion on which explanation holds sway. Based on non-equilibrium panel data of seven years between 2004 and 2010, this empirical study uses the product market competition variables of ＂inter-sector competition＂ and ＂intra-sector competition＂ and the hierarchy and complexity of pyramidal structure, examines the correlation between pyramidal structure of Chinese private manufacturing listed firms and product market competition and patterns of change, and reveals the major causes of pyramidal structure. Empirical result indicates that, for Chinese private manufacturing listed companies, there is a significant negative correlation between product market competition and the hierarchy and complexity of pyramidal structure, which indicates that the creation of pyramidal structure has a preference on tunneling by controlling shareholders. On the basis of further considerations on corporate tunneling and financing restraint categorization, high-tunneling firms and firms with low financing restraint demonstrate significant tunneling motivations; low-tunneling firms and firms with high financing restraint demonstrate significant effect of financing advantage, which further testifies both theoretical explanations for the creation of pyramidal structure. Conclusions of these studies have not only enriched and supplemented relevant studies on the root causes for the creation of pyramidal structure by Chinese private business groups, but provide practical support for firms to make correct and effective use of pyramidal structure as well.展开更多

文摘In order to promote the sound development of circular economy,strengthen the construction of ecological environment,and deal with the negative environmental externalities caused by the transboundary inflow of solid waste(TISW),China has been gradually tightened up the supervision of TISW.In recent years,although TISW in China has slowed down,the‘hidden’inflow is still relatively prominent by our comparison of the data between the major outflow countries/regions and that of China.Based on China’s institutional environment and evolution path,this study has identified the government as the main body of the TISW governance in China,and the classified supervision of TISW as its basis,with relevant government departments being empowered and coordinated by the law to constantly optimize the governance procedures by promoting the pre-entry checking,port supervising and the self-disciplined compliance of stakeholders.Based on the gravity model and the unbalanced short panel data of 41 kinds of TISW with 6-digit HS coding from 12 major outflow countries/regions in the period of 2012-2017,this empirical analysis by the two-way fixed effect static panel data model and the GMM dynamic panel data model respectively shows that the governance from the Chinese government has a significant impact on the reduction of the volume of TISW.Besides,the significant positive coefficient of GDP also shows that China’s economic growth results in a certain demand for recyclable solid waste,but the variables of TISW catalogue adjustment and international cooperation are not significant.Therefore,in order to further enhance the efficiency of TISW governance,it is suggested that:①The classified supervision of TISW should be up-graded and the identification standards and procedures of TISW should also be scientifically optimized by the cooperation of relevant functional departments.②The TISW governance system at China Customs should be continuously improved by focusing on the pre-and post-entry checking and credit management of stakeholders.③Multi-channel international cooperation and information exchange should be promoted to achieve timely risk prevention and more effective post-entry supervision.
文摘Global governance is the sum of multilateral international mechanisms established by the international community to deal with various global issues.In the absence of a world government,various players,mainly countries,by virtue of international organizations and rules,enter into relatively stable contractual relations.

文摘The modernization of state governance and innovation in governing measures will strengthen the protection of human rights in China, including civil and political rights. Firstly, legal control over public power will reduce arbitrary restrictions on civil rights. Secondly, public participation in policy-making will provide more opportunities for citizens to exercise their political rights. Thirdly, governing by law will better guarantee equal protection of law for all people. Fourthly, an effective accountability mechanism will reinforce people's right of supervision. Lastly, innovation in governing measures will help identify and satisfy citizens' demands.
文摘It is generally believed in academia that there are two theoretical explanations of tunneling and financing advantage for the creation of pyramidal structure. However, there is no definitive conclusion on which explanation holds sway. Based on non-equilibrium panel data of seven years between 2004 and 2010, this empirical study uses the product market competition variables of ＂inter-sector competition＂ and ＂intra-sector competition＂ and the hierarchy and complexity of pyramidal structure, examines the correlation between pyramidal structure of Chinese private manufacturing listed firms and product market competition and patterns of change, and reveals the major causes of pyramidal structure. Empirical result indicates that, for Chinese private manufacturing listed companies, there is a significant negative correlation between product market competition and the hierarchy and complexity of pyramidal structure, which indicates that the creation of pyramidal structure has a preference on tunneling by controlling shareholders. On the basis of further considerations on corporate tunneling and financing restraint categorization, high-tunneling firms and firms with low financing restraint demonstrate significant tunneling motivations; low-tunneling firms and firms with high financing restraint demonstrate significant effect of financing advantage, which further testifies both theoretical explanations for the creation of pyramidal structure. Conclusions of these studies have not only enriched and supplemented relevant studies on the root causes for the creation of pyramidal structure by Chinese private business groups, but provide practical support for firms to make correct and effective use of pyramidal structure as well.
文摘As economic globalization deepens and domestic problems become more globalized,it is increasingly urgent for the international community to tackle the worldwide development deficit.We should analyze in depth the problems and challenges facing global development,and explain the manifestations and causes of development deficit,as well as China’s governance practices.That will not only help us better understand the influence of developing countries in global development governance,but also provide useful lessons for promoting sustainable development and the reform of the global governance system.
文摘The international community currently has high expectations for a rising China to play a greater role in global governance. China＇s role in global governance has even become a prominent theme for academic and policy research in some countries.1 China, as an increasingly integrated member of the global community, must further participate in global governance. This will not only satisfy the needs of China＇s own development and safety, but also fulfill Chinas responsibilities as a great power.
文摘In order to fulfill the SDG(Sustainable Development Goal)6.2 of the UN Agenda 2030 for sustainable developments,one needs to re-consider the wastewater management systems.In traditional approaches,sludge management plays a subordinate role in planning and designing wastewater systems since it is considered to be physically and conceptually at the end of the water cycle train.However,this does not take into account that the selection of the most appropriate treatment sequence for the wastewater treatment plants is strongly driven by the final reuse/disposal option(s)available in the specific local situation and consistent with it.Therefore,a re-conceptualization becomes necessary to put sludge management in a driving position of the water cycle train.This includes“technical”aspects and“institutional and governance”ones,which shall comply with general“basic principles”and fall within well defined“boundary conditions”.This paper discusses aforementioned items,paying greater attention to institutional and governance aspects.
