TRUE-FALSE QUESTIONS

T F 1. According to the mercantilists, a nation’s welfare would improve if it maintained

a surplus of exports over imports.

T F 2. The mercantilists maintained that a free-trade policy best enhances a nation’s welfare.

T F 3. The mercantilists contended that because one nation’s gains from trade come the expense of its trading partners, not all nations could simultaneously realize gains

from trade.

T F 4. According to the price-specie-flow doctrine, a trade-surplus nation would experi-ence gold outflows, a decrease in its money supply, and a fall in its price level.

T F 5. The trade theories of Adam Smith and David Ricardo viewed the determination of competitiveness from the demand side of the market.

T F 6. According to the principle of absolute advantage, international trade is beneficial to the world if one nation has an absolute cost advantage in the production of one

good while the other nation has an absolute cost advantage in the other good.

T F 7. The principle of absolute advantage asserts that mutually beneficial trade can occur even if one nation is absolutely more efficient in the production of all goods. T F 8. The basis for trade is explained by the principle of absolute advantage according to David Ricardo and the principle of comparative advantage according to Adam

Smith.

T F 9. The principle of comparative advantage contends that a nation should specialize in and export the good in which its absolute advantage is smallest or its absolute

disadvantage is greatest.

T F 10. The Ricardian theory of comparative advantage assumes only two nations and two products, labor can move freely within a nation, and perfect competition exists in

all markets.

T F 11. Assume that the United States is more efficient than the United Kingdom in the production of all goods. Mutually beneficial trade is possible according to the

principle of absolute advantage, but is impossible according to the principle of

comparative advantage.

T F 12. It is possible for a nation not to have an absolute advantage in anything; but it is not possible for one nation to have a comparative advantage in everything and

the other nation to have a comparative advantage in nothing.

T F 13. Ricardo’s theory of comparative advantage was of limited rele vance to the real world since it assumed that labor was only one of several factors of production. T F 14. Compared to Ricardian trade theory, modern trade theory provides a more gen-eral view of comparative advantage since it is based on all factors of production

rather than just labor.

T F 15. Constant opportunity costs suggest that the relative cost of producing one product in terms of the other will remain the same no matter where a nation chooses to

locate on its production-possibilities schedule.

T F 16. There are two explanations of constant opportunity costs: (1) factors of produc-tion are imperfect substitutes for each other; (2) all units of a given factor have

different qualities.

T F 17. With increasing opportunity costs, a nation totally specializes in the production of the commodity of its comparative advantage; with constant opportunity costs,

a nation partially specializes in the production of the commodity of its compara-

tive advantage.

T F 18. A nation’s trade triangle denotes its exports, i mports, and terms of trade.

T F 19. International trade leads to increased welfare if a nation can achieve a post-trade consumption point lying inside of its production-possibilities schedule.

T F 20. If the U.S. post-trade consumption point lies along its production possibilities schedule, the United States achieves a higher level of welfare with trade than

without trade.

T F 21. If productivity in the German computer industry grows faster than it does in the Japanese computer industry, the opportunity cost of each computer produced in

Japan increases relative to the opportunity cost of a computer produced in

Germany.

T F 22. If Japan loses competitiveness in computers, Japanese computer workers lose jobs to foreign computer workers and the wages of Japanese computer workers

tend to fall relative to the wages of foreign computer workers.

T F 23. With constant opportunity costs, a nation will achieve the greatest possible gains from trade if it partially specializes in the production of the commodity of its

comparative disadvantage.

T F 24. By reducing the overall volume of trade, import restrictions tend to reduce a nation’s gains from trade.

T F 25. With increasing opportunity costs, comparative advantage depends on a nation’s supply conditions and demand conditions; with constant opportunity costs, com-

parative advantage depends only on demand conditions.

T F 26. According to the principle of comparative advantage, an open trading system results in resources being channeled from uses of low productivity to those of

high productivity.

T F 27. The existence of exit barriers tends to delay the closing of inefficient firms that face international competitive disadvantages.

T F 28. MacDougall’s empirical study of comparative advantage was based on the notion that a product’s labor cost is underlaid by labor productivity and the wage rate.

T F 29. The MacDougall study of comparative advantage hypothesized that in those industries in which U.S. labor productivity was relatively high, U.S. exports to

the world should be lower than U.K. exports to the world, after adjusting for

wage differentials.

T F 30. The basic idea of mercantilism was that wealth consisted of the goods and ser-vices produced by a nation.

T F 31. According to Adam Smith, international trade was a ―w in-win‖ situation since all nations could enjoy gains from trade.

T F 32. The price-specie-flow mechanism illustrated why one nation’s gains from trade were accompanied by another country’s losses.

T F 33. Complete specialization usually occurs under the assumption of increasing opportunity costs.

T F 34. Adam Smith contended that gold, silver, and other precious metals constituted the wealth of a nation.

T F 35. The price-specie-flow mechanism illustrated why nations could not maintain trade surpluses or trade deficits over the long run.

T F 36. The marginal rate of transformation equals the absolute slope of a country’s production possibilities schedule.

T F 37. Assume that Germany has higher labor productivity and higher wage levels than France. Germany can produce a commodity more cheaply than France if its pro-

简评国际关系三大理论流派对国际体系的认识 摘要:国际体系作为一个概念,是国际关系中使用频率最高的学术用词之一。本文主要阐述不同学派对国际体系的不同认识,同时说明我们应该从不同角度去观察、认识问题并以综合性手段解决问题。 关键词:现实主义新自由制度主义建构主义国际体系 对于国际体系概念的认识,学者并不一致,但是他们无一例外地提到构成体系的三个要素:体系、单元、互动,都承认国际体系是“存在于地球上的社会系统中,自身不带上位系统的最上位系统”。国际体系的根本属性是:体系成员(角色)间的战略性相互依赖或社会化。战略地相互依赖的角色能够判断体系中其他成员可能的行动,一个角色的外交政策不仅有赖于其自身行为,而且有赖于其他角色。 一、现实主义对国际体系的认识 按照古典现实主义理论,所谓国际体系,就是无政府状态下以国家为主角的权力政治,行为体基于权力因素互动而形成权力结构。国际社会从根本上遵循“丛林法则”,国际关系的本质是冲突,即无政府状态下国家争夺权力的斗争。在无政府状态下,民族国家不可避免地要依靠实力确保生存。国家要无限度地追逐权力,参与国际社会的目的是运用权力改变他国的行为以确保本国国家利益最大化。 大国之间的权力对比关系构成国际格局,人们通常用“极”表示国际权力结构。许多学者对权力结构建立模型进行分析,例如,单极的奥根斯基的“霸权稳定论”、莫德尔斯基的“长周期理论”、理查德·罗克斯兰斯的“国际体系行为模式”、莫顿·卡普兰的“国际体系六模式”。过分强调权力的结局就是各国不断追求权力,引起军备竞赛,最终导致“安全困境”。冷战时期的美苏对峙,印度、巴基斯坦的不断冲突,以色列与阿拉伯世界的纷争,朝鲜半岛的朝韩对抗,以及中亚地区的地缘政治之争,都是权力构建的国际体系的体现,说明国际体系的权力属性依然存在且发挥着重要作用。 结构现实主义沃尔兹重点突出结构对于国家行为的影响。传统现实主义忽视合作,新现实主义则承认国家合作的可能性。沃尔兹的观点是:国家构成结构,结构造就国家。他抽象掉除能力之外国家所有的属性,只强调由实力决定的单元在体系层面的排列结构,结构对单元行为具有决定性作用。国际体系一旦确立,就具有自身的结构和实力,而这种实力是体系内个体无法控制的。

国际关系简介

国际关系简介 国际关系(英文:International Relations)是政治学的一个分支,研究国际社会之间的外交事务和关系,如国家、政府国际组织、非政府国际组织、跨国公司等。国际关系既是学术的领域,也是公共政策的领域。 简而言之,国际关系是指人们超越国家界限建立起来的一种特殊社会关系,它主要包括政治、经济、军事、社会等等关系。---(荆祖民提供) 作为政治科学的一部分,国际关系也和经济、历史、法律、法学、地理、社会、人类学、心理学,文化研究紧密联系。从全球化到领土争端、核危机、民族主义、经济发展、恐怖主义、人权,都是国际关系研究的议题。 国际关系学 国际关系学主要是指研究国际关系行为体之间相互作用,各种国际体系运行和演变规律的一门科学或学问。---荆祖民整理 历史 国际系统 国际关系的历史可以追溯回1648年的威斯特法伦和约,现代的国家制度从那时开始发展。在这之前,欧洲中世纪的权力架构体制都是根基于模糊的宗教等级制度上。威斯特法伦和约确立了主权的概念,主权意味著统治者或君主将不会认可任何在其领土之内地位同等和更高的权力存在。古希腊和古罗马的权力架构类似于当时的威斯特法伦和约,但两者都缺乏主权的概念。威斯特法伦和约促成了民族国家的崛起,以及外交和军队的制度化。这些特定的欧洲制度也经由殖民主义流传至美洲、非洲和亚洲。当代的国际关系在冷战期间的非殖民地化后终于确立。不过,虽然民族国家制度被视为是“现代”的,但许多国家并没有结合这种制度,因而被称为“前现代”。除此之外,一些国家也已经发展超脱出民族国家之外,因而被称为“后现代”。因此,国际关系是否有能力针对这些不同形式的国家之间的关系进行研究也经常是争论的话题。 国际关系理论 现在称为国际关系理论(International relations theory)的研究是在一战后才开始发展的。不过,国际关系的理论也是长期以来就在其他社会科学的作品里发展的。许多人举出修昔底德所著的伯罗奔尼撒战争史为现实主义理论的先驱,其他包括托马斯·霍布斯的《利维坦》、马基维利的《君主论》也都进一步的阐述现实主义理论。同样地,自由主义也从康德和卢梭的作品里浮现,康德也常被认为是第一个阐述了民主和平论的人。虽然当代定义的人权与自然法所定义的权利有著不小的差异,格劳秀斯仍在人道的根基上阐述了人们应享有的普遍权利。从20世纪直到现在,马克思主义也对国际关系的理论有重大影响。 国际关系研究 最初时,只有英国将国际关系作为一门专门领域进行研究。在1919年,阿伯里斯特威斯的威尔斯大学成立了国际政治的教授职,成为最早针对国际关系进行专门研究的大学。在1920年代初期,伦敦政治经济学院也成立了国际关系的研究系所。虽然亚洲和南美洲也有研究国际关系的学院,但针对这门学科的研究主要仍是在欧洲和北美洲。
