During negotiations for the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), military activities in another state's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) were a point of contention. Currently, the issue remains controversial in state practice. UNCLOS attempts to balance the differing interests of coastal and maritime states, but is silent or ambiguous on the legality of military operations in foreign EEZs. Coastal states seek to assert increasing control over their maritime zones while maritime states prioritize the freedom of navigation. This article examines the competing views on these issues in the context of the 2009 Impeccable incident between China and the United States that occurred in the South China Sea. The issue of military activities in the EEZ will continue to be a complex subject, without clear definitions in the nature and scope of permissible activity. As state practice evolves, the potential for hostilities is high, particularly in semi-enclosed sea areas such as the South China Sea. This article concludes that states should create dialogues and form agreements to help clarify the contours of military activity in the EEZ, focusing on mutual interests, interdependence, and coexistence rather than perceiving the ocean as a zero-sum resource.

A territorial dispute deriving from nineteenth-century treaties imposed on China by an ascendant Russia became an integral element of the falling-out between the two great communist powers, the USSR and the People's Republic of China, in the second half of the twentieth century. That dispute, which came to be concentrated on the issue of the exact boundary alignment within the Amur and Ussuri Rivers, was made more intractable by the ideological estrangement between Moscow and Beijing. The dispute, in turn, fed back to embitter that estrangement. Contradictory interpretations of the nineteenth-century treaties taken by the two sides were compounded by their different approaches to the problem of boundary settlement: Beijing sought settlement on the basis of compromise, but insisted that could be achieved only through full renegotiation. Moscow read into Beijing's approach covert irredentism, refused to negotiate, and exerted military force to impose its own interpretation of the treaties. China resisted, meeting force with force, and in the 1969 clashes on the Ussuri River prevailed, bringing the conflict to the brink of all-out war. In 1986 Moscow broke a protracted deadlock by reversing its approach and agreeing to negotiate. By 2005 the full extent of the Sino-Russian boundary had been agreed and legitimized in new treaties.

Since the late 1970s, the Chinese countryside has been involved in the process of economic and social restructuring. This article analyses four stages (1978-80; 1980-82; 1982-84 and since 1985) in the agricultural reform process by scrutinizing the documents adopted between 1978 and 1986 by the CPC (Communist Party of China) and State Council in respect of economic and social restructuring of the countryside.

In the early twentieth century, traditional-style painting practice was profoundly affected by the rapid changes sweeping through Chinese society. As traditional-style painting was excluded from art educational system and expelled from governmental supports in the first two decades of the twentieth century, the art market became one of the most important institutions for artists to revitalize traditional constructs through their active involvement with modern practice. The art market was not only an economic and social force conducive to individual painter's publicity and celebrity, but also a cultural space formalizing collective judgments, meanings, and relationships, which in turn shaped the image of traditional Chinese painting in modern art history. This study of the marketing mechanism in early Republican Beijing presents an alternative to the visual approach that has largely dominated scholarship of Chinese art history. Through delving into the socio-economic dimension of painting production and consumption, this dissertation examines the formation and development of the art market in early twentieth-century Beijing and investigates the measurable impacts that the marketing mechanism exerted on traditional-style painting characterized with adherence to the ancient subject matters and styles. Moreover, taking the art market as a jumping-off point, this dissertation redress the oversimplified and stereotyped vision that underestimates painting styles in early Republican Beijing as a belated and conservative antithesis to the innovations exhibited in painting produced in southern China. It argues that the art market in early Republican Beijing was an institution embedded in specific social, historical, intellectual, and cultural contexts. The determining and formative roles that urban cultural elites played in shaping and directing the art market made it an irreplaceable agency for traditional-style painters to affirm Chinese cultural and national identity as the country was integrated into the modern world and to define a cultural China as the political authority eroded in the post-imperial era

Angesichts wirtschaftlicher Stagnation und Konsumflaute setzt Tokio verstärkt auf Export und Auslandsinvestitionen. Doch die Konkurrenz in der Region schläft nicht, und das Verhältnis zum Haupthandelspartner China bleibt gespannt. Kein Wunder, dass man sich wieder Richtung Amerika und Europa orientiert - auch Deutschland sollte mit Japan rechnen. (IP)

Ein wichitiges Element der Wirtschaftsreform in der VR China ist die Durchführung der Eigentumsreform. Der Trend zur Entwicklung der pluralilstischen Eigentumsstruktur verschärft zwar die soziale Differenzierung der Bevölkerung, trägt aber nach Auffassung der chinesischen Wissenschafler zum ökonomischen Fortschritt des Landes bei. Danach sind auch kapitalistische Formen der Wirtschaftsführung im Interesse des Aufbaus des Sozialismus zu nutzen. (BIOst-Ldg)
