Thoughts on Sea Power Development Strategy of China YANG Zhen 2012, 21(03): 20-27.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9179.2012.03.001 Abstract ( )   In recent years, the sea power issues have become one of the hottest topics in China's international relations academia. It has become strategically important for China to develop its own sea power in the era of the globalization. This article would focus on three questions from the perspective of national interests and grand strategy. What is sea power? What kind of sea power does China need? How China will use its sea power? After discussing the development of China爷s sea power according to the sea power theory, this article would provide some suggestions on the development mode of China's sea power and the use of principles.

Analysis on Russia's Arctic Route Strategy JIANG Xiu-Min, ZHU Xiao-Meng, WANG Zheng-Liang, DOU Bo 2012, 21(03): 45.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2012.03.004 Abstract ( )   Arctic route issue is one of the hot issues of academic concern, the Chinese scholars to study from China's perspective, and study the less the outcome of the strategy of the Russian Arctic route. The exploitation of the Arctic route in the future Russia will be in a central position, and the study on Arctic route and Russian strategic issues have great significance. Collect a large number of first-hand Russian information on the basis of Russia's Arctic route strategic depth analysis in order to play an inspiration and reference on China's strategy of the Arctic route.

Study of Global Spatial Relationship between Financial and Manufacturing Sectors —Based on Global 500 Largest Corporations of Fortune YAO Yong-Ling, SHI Lu-Shan 2012, 21(03): 50.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2012.03.005 Abstract ( )   With the process of global economy and service development, global spatial distribution between financial and manufacture sectors becomes more complicated than before. Particularly, spatial differentiation between financial and manufacture sectors has been blamed for the global economy recession since 2009s crisis. Data of global 500 largest corporations in Fortune will be employed to do panel co-integration and cause analysis. It comes to the conclusion that there is a stable relation between the two sectors for a long term. However, it is obvious that differentiation has been happened between them. While, the relation of developed countries is not stronger than that of developing countries, but Supply leading and Demand following冶exist together. The relation of development countries is similar with the one of developed countries, but only Demand following exist. Finally, some special issues (Shanghai could become international financial center, eg.) will also be discussed according to the conclusion. Related Articles | Metrics

Analysis of the Temporal Characteristics of International Main Grain Prices from 1961 to 2009 XU Hai-Liang, ZHAO Wen-Wu, AN Yi-Ming 2012, 21(03): 58.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2012.03.006 Abstract ( )   Firstly, This paper introduces the methods to measure the international main grain prices based on international grain trade, then data separation of international main grain prices was made using EVIEW software. It applies mathematical statistics approach and spectral analysis approach to analyze temporal characters of the international main grain prices from 1961 to 2009, and concludes the trend the periodicity and the volatility of international main grain prices. Results show that: on the time perspective, the trend of international main grain prices increase obviously; with the influence of a variety of factors, multi-cycle phenomena exists; With the trend of global integration and financialization in grain market, the prices become more and more unstable. The results of this article can be valuable references to further analysis of the mechanism of international grain prices. Related Articles | Metrics

Space-time Evolution and Forecast of the Oil Palm Production and Trade in the World XU Lu, LIU Yang-Jie 2012, 21(03): 70.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2012.03.007 Abstract ( )   Oil palm is one kind of woody oil crops whose yield per unit area is highest, it is known as "the king of world's oil". The proportions of its production and trading volume are the highest in all kinds of oil crops, which has huge economic benefits. This research studies the origin of the world palm oil and geographical spread. It also analyzes oil palm production and trade situation in recent years. The result shows: oil palm originates in Africa, and spreads to the vast tropical areas of Asia尧Africa and Latin America, now it forms three major producing areas, which are Central and West Africa尧 Southeast Asia尧Central and South America, it also has the basic pattern of ten consumption areas such as India尧China尧the European Union. According to the research, the trade trend of oil palm production can be forecast, which gets three points: oil palm's acreage and consumer market will continue growing, new technology will boost oil palm yield and the sustainable use of oil palm will further to be strengthened.

Research on Overall Plans of China's Oil Importation from Land and Seas QIU Yan, GUO Qian, WU Dian-Ting 2012, 21(03): 77.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2012.03.008 Abstract ( )   China is the world's second largest oil-consuming country and oil-importing country, so its security issues on oil importation should not be overlooked. Based on China's oil supply and demand, the spatial pattern of China's oil importation and transport routes are analyzed, and existing problems are pointed out as below: the source is over-relied on Middle East; the line is too dependent on maritime transportation and Malacca channel. In order to improve security situation of China爷s oil importation, this paper provides four recommendations: accelerate the construction of oil pipeline between China and Myanmar, construct a crude oil pipeline between China and Pakistan, expand Sino-Kazakh and Sino-Russian crude oil pipeline, and accelerate the development of East China Sea and South China Sea oilfield. So that China can form four oil and gas import channels of the northeast, northwest, southwest on land and at sea, thus the diversification of oil transportation channels can achieve overall plans for land and seas on oil importation.

The Review and Comment of Theoretical Study on International R&D Hub HUANG Liang, DU De-Bin 2012, 21(03): 84.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2012.03.009 Abstract ( )   In the background of knowledge economy era, R&D becomes an important power to drive the region爷s social and economical development. International R&D hub, which is characterized by R&D innovation, is a new type of regional function and spatial form coming with the development of R&D globalization. There is no scholars both in home and abroad have researched this field systematically so far. Based on this, this paper mainly reviews the related theoretical achievement on international R&D hub in recent years systematically in four aspects such as the relevant concept, development strategy of R&D hub, the environment for R&D investment, growth condition and the model of R&D hub. Then, on the basis of theoretical comment, the paper gives the prospect for the main content and direction of future research on International R&D hub. Related Articles | Metrics

Geographic Space and Innovation: The Oretical Development and Thinking TAN Wen-Zhu 2012, 21(03): 94.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2012.03.010 Abstract ( )   In response to the arguments such as "geography is dead" and "geography is no longer important", economic geography scholars rediscovered the significance of geography through exploring the relation between innovation and geographic space. Innovation interaction studies suggest, only geographical proximity does not promote regional innovation. Besides geographic proximity, innovation also needs organization proximity and cognitive proximity. To innovation, geographical space is no longer a simple physical distance, but also includes other multi-dimensional space, such as organization proximity and cognitive proximity. Although physical proximity is neither sufficient condition nor necessary condition to promote innovation, geographical proximity still is of importance to innovation because geographic agglomeration can promote cognitive proximity and organization proximity. Although empirical studies found that there is relation between geographic proximity and innovation performance, it is not clear which proximity has promoted the innovation performance. The research on the relations of various proximity and innovation is still in the theoretical construction stage, it is urgently to develop relevant empirical research. Related Articles | Metrics
