Regulating administrative monopoly is the major task of China's "anti-monopoly law" and the greatest challenge in its enforcement. "Anti-monopoly law" has done a special chapter on administrative monopoly for the first time, which is a significant breakthrough of our country's legislation on the regulation of administrative monopoly. But, after all, "anti-monopoly law" is a new law, and due to the limitations of legislation, there are many system deficiencies, on the regulation of administrative monopoly in China's "Anti-monopoly law", which make it can not fully come into play. So, it is necessary to perfect the measures that can make up for the system deficiencies.

Under Deng Xiaoping, leader of the Communist Party from 1978 to the mid-'90s, China undertook economic reforms that combined socialism with elements of the market economy. It entailed engagement with the global economy, reversing the traditional policy of economic self-reliance and a lack of interest in trade. In embracing markets, Deng famously observed: "It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, so long as it catches mice.
China's economic reforms coincided with the 'great moderation' -- a period of strong growth in the global economy based on low interest rates, low oil prices and deregulation of key industries such as banking and deregulation. The boom was also based on increases in global trade and investment driven, in part, by the fall of the Berlin Wall, the collapse of the...

Regarding the editorial, A smirk from Iran (March 13), what continues to impress me is the complete ignorance most of the western nations -- particularly the media -- display on the recent history of Iran. The editorial refers to the intransigence and arrogance of Iran, yet what was one of the key actions that created this situation? It was the U.S.-backed removal of a democratically elected leader of Iran in 1953. In his place, the U.S. put in a tyrant -- someone on par with Saddam Hussein, if not worse -- which led to the Islamic revolution in 1979. Of course Iran doesn't trust the U.S. If they did the same thing to Canada, do you think we would have any reason to trust them? Those who wish to volley an opinion into this political morass would do well to remember this. When it comes t...

Schraeder lays out the context of the debate in Washington on Africa and then proceeds to establish the foreign policy challenges of the continent for not just the United States, but for all other major powers as well e.g., reversing grinding poverty and the lack of sustainable growth and development, mitigating the deleterious impacts of corruption and authoritarianism, stemming the multiplication of civil conflicts, containing and eliminating transborder threats, halting the spread of HIV/AIDS.\n Schraeder offers the best analytical framework for integrating the insights of international political economy and regional issues with US strategic and global concerns in the post-9/11 environment, and a framework that could have been the model for the other case studies in attempting to gra...

Gwynne Dyer is according too much sympathy to [Kim Jong-Il] when he claims North Korea's nuclear aspirations are merely "a cry for help." The country has been a source of aggression and instability in Asia for nearly six decades now, and when his father, Kim Il-Sung, precipitated the Korean War in 1950, it was hardly "a cry for help." That conflict devastated the peninsula, left more than a million dead, and resulted in the economic ruin of both north and south. The long-term difference was that South Korea embraced free-market reforms and is now among the world's top dozen economic powers. Meanwhile, the north continued to be propped up by the Soviet Union and every few years appears on the brink of starvation.

This study uses the Organizational Culture Profile of O'Reilly et al. (1991), as adapted by Windsor and Ashkanasy (1996), to describe the culture of Australian organizations, as perceived by financial controllers. The study also examines the relation between organizational culture and strategy, and whether culture varies between service and manufacturing industries. Our results generally corroborate Sarros et al. (2002), with outcome orientation and respect for people perceived as the most prominent characteristics of Australian organizations' culture, and innovation the least prominent. The consistency of results using a different managerial sample and a different measure of culture to Sarros et al. (2002) suggests robustness of the descriptions of Australian organizations' culture.
