This thesis aims at discussing the nature of relations between Russia and China and the Northeast Asian security during the post-Soviet era. The research question is whether Russia and Northeast Asian countries still pursue ideological policies after post-Cold War era. In this respect, the thesis argues that these countries act pragmatically instead of ideologically in the post-Cold War era. This has resulted in a rapprochement between communist China and post-Soviet Russia in the post-Soviet era. Moreover, ideological differences among any regional states do not constitute the basis of regional conflicts. It is rather North Korea&rsquo / s nuclear program that has become the main regional security threat. The thesis is composed of six chapters. After the introductionary chapter, the second chapter examines Russian-Chinese bilateral relations. The following three chapters discuss Russian-Chinese relations concerning the roles of Japan, South Korea and North Korea respectively in the Northeast Asian security. The last chapter is the conclusion.

Актуальность темы исследования обусловлена следующими причинами: успешное развитие экономических и торговых отношений между Китаем и Россией требует унификации финансовой информации для бизнеса и для целей государственного контроля; изучение различий между китайскими и российскими стандартами бухгалтерского учета помогает извлечь уроки из международной практики в процессе построения, развития и совершенствования стандартов; понимание сходства и различия между китайскими и российскими стандартами является лучшим способом понять практику бухгалтерского учета в другой стране, а также оказывает определенное влияние на понимание и корректировку различий в бухгалтерской отчетности, подготовленной в соответствии с различными стандартами и с МСФО; в процессе сближения с международными стандартами бухгалтерского учета, полезно учиться на успешном опыте друг друга, несмотря на формальные и существенные различия в технико-экономическом обосновании и координации национальных стандартов бухгалтерского учета. Научная новизна исследования заключается в следующем: систематизированы основные проблемы стандартизации бухгалтерского учета с точки зрения конвергенции национальных стандартов и МСФО; на основании сравнительной характеристики российских и китайских стандартов рассмотрены перспективы дальнейшего совершенствования национальных систем бухгалтерского учета при переходе на МСФО. / The relevance of the research topic is due to the following reasons: the successful development of economic and trade relations between China and Russia requires the unification of financial information for business and for the purposes of government control; studying the differences between Chinese and Russian accounting standards helps to draw lessons from international practice in the process of building, developing and improving standards; understanding the similarities and differences between Chinese and Russian standards is the best way to understand accounting practices in another country, and also has a certain impact on understanding and adjusting differences in financial statements prepared in accordance with various standards and IFRS; in the process of convergence with international accounting standards, it is useful to learn from each other's successful experiences, despite the formal and significant differences in the feasibility study and coordination of national accounting standards. The scientific novelty of the research is as follows: systematized the main problems of accounting standardization from the point of view of convergence of national standards and IFRS; based on the comparative characteristics of Russian and Chinese standards, the prospects for further improvement of national accounting systems during the transition to IFRS are considered.

Questo lavoro analizza le relazioni tra Stati Uniti ed alleati europei dal 1989 ad oggi, con particolare approfondimento del periodo successivo all'undici settembre 2001. L'ipotesi di ricerca è basata sulla convinzione che gli attentati del 2001 abbiano avuto un impatto fondamentale sulla relazione euro-atlantica, accelerando tendenze centrifughe già presenti nel rapporto. La tesi è composta da un'analisi storica, da sette capitoli e dalle conclusioni. L'analisi storica esamina i cambiamenti strutturali nella relazione transatlantica dopo il 1989. I capitoli 1 e 2 presentano le correnti politiche determinanti nel formulare la politica estera americana dopo il 2001, con particolare riferimento al movimento neoconservatore. I capitoli 3 e 4 analizzano la definizione di impero moderno , la questione se gli Stati Uniti siano o meno un impero e la possibilità che l'Unione europea (UE) diventi una superpotenza. I capitoli 5, 6 e 7 approfondiscono tre nodi gordiani : il futuro della NATO; la Russia tra Stati Uniti e UE; e la relazione triangolare tra Stati Uniti, Cina e UE. Infine, le conclusioni riassumono le debolezze del rapporto tra Stati Uniti ed alleati europei, evidenziano come esse siano peggiorate dopo gli attentati del 2001 e presentano i pericoli in cui la relazione potrebbe incorrere in futuro. / This dissertation studies the relationship between the United States and its European allies from the end of the Cold War to the present, with a focus on the period following the terror attacks on September 11, 2001. The primary conclusion is that 9/11 accelerated divisive trends within transatlantic alliance. The dissertation has an historical introduction, seven chapters and the conclusions. The historical introduction analyzes the structural changes occurred within the transatlantic relationship after 1989. Chapters 1 and 2 discuss the political movements and ideas that shaped American foreign policy after 9/11, with a focus on the neoconservative movement. Chapters 3 and 4 define the idea of modern empire ; its use in reference to the United States; and the idea that the European Union is becoming a superpower able to counterbalance the United States. Chapters 5, 6 and 7 focus on three looming challenges within the transatlantic relationship: the future of NATO; relations with Russia; and the rise of China. The conclusions summarize the weaknesses of the relationship between the United States and its European allies; highlight how they deteriorated after 9/11; and describe the dangers that lay ahead for the transatlantic alliance.

In dieser Arbeit wurden Angebotskurven für 22 bedeutende Ölförderländer ermittelt und anschließend zu globalen Angebotskurven aggregiert. Gemäß den ermittelten Angebotskurven sind nahezu alle gegenwärtig in der Förderphase befindlichen Ölprojekte in den Untersuchungsländern auch beim aktuellen Ölpreis von 35 bis 40 US-$ je Barrel unter Berücksichtigung der kurzfristigen Grenzkosten rentabel. Sollte der Ölpreis jedoch in den kommenden Jahren auf diesem Niveau verharren, wird es bis zum Jahr 2024 zu einem Angebotsengpass auf dem globalen Ölmarkt kommen, da zur Deckung der zukünftigen Nachfrage die Erschließung kostenintensiver, unkonventioneller Lagerstätten und von Lagerstätten in tiefen und sehr tiefen Gewässern notwendig ist. Damit es bis zum Jahr 2024 nicht zu einem solchen Angebotsengpass kommt, ist gemäß des ermittelten langfristigen Marktgleichgewichts ein Ölpreis von mindestens 80 (2014er) US-$ je Barrel notwendig.:1.
