Abstract This thesis ¡§the Cooperation Partnership between China and ASEAN in the Post-Cold War Era¡¨ is analyzed mainly by functionism approach. By facing the new international situation, namely globalization, China continues to pursue economic modernization. China¡¦s modernization was, is and will be a positive factor for regional stability and economic growth in Asia. At the same time, ASEAN have strong interest in China¡¦s successive economic reform. In this context, China and ASEAN underscored their commitments to handling their cooperation partnership in accordance with the principles of mutual benefits and equality, and agree to promote dialogue for the possibility to establish a free trade area between ASEAN and China. If the cooperation partnership in economic integration does work successively and can spill-over to political cooperation, China and ASEAN will be in the near future as major power to shape the new order in Asia.

Global people movement passes through cress-border by economic prosperity. Each nation loosens the factor of national safety for economic advantage, let cress-borders people movement is free and convenience. After 911 terrorist attacked, cross-border people movement is challenge to focus events again. At the same time, the safety of border management is suspected again, include legal and illegal migration, ex: human traffic, smuggle, terrorist attack. The plan of migration policy is attraction and admission about professional and high-tech personnel. In addition, it is relaxed stay and residence of professional for limit of border management. Each nation considers the problems about national benefits and border management because the demand of each nation is diffident. It will have the balance to comment blesses it to push aside the effect. Each nation cooperates about border control of global people movement, and makes land settlement policy importantly.

When Global Regional Economics came into being one after another, the connection between industry development and specialized division accelerates the establishment of regional operational headquarters by Multinational Corporations. As for cities, the key factors in attracting enterprises for setting up Operation Center are the environment which suit with development. The literatures and data indicated that the city with strong competitiveness may have more significant industry clusters; besides, the how does a city connect with global market will become the crucial element in city development. All the time, the overall development of Taiwan has been influence by the political situation between Taiwan Strait, so as soon as the relationship between Taiwan Strait been improved, the chances of interflowing between Taiwan Strait will grow in number. Under this situation, how Kaohsiung city builds up the mechanism of industries division and corporation become an important issue when it comes to setting up the regional operation center. From the case study of Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai, I sums up with location condition, government policies and human resource as the weaker part for Kaohsiung as an operation center. Also, from the analysis of the related data, geographic superiority, traffic condition, the perfection of infrastruction, the cooperation of supporting industries, government policies and human resource should be put into consideration when a operation center choosing its operation location; among of them, government policies is the most powerful element. According to this founding, the executive managers of six golden industries for Kaohsiung are selected as the interviewees. Taking production factors, requirement conditions, support condition and government policies as the interviewing outline, and with the help of ATLAS.ti, forty-one indicators of advancing regional operation headquarter for Kaohsiung are resulted. According to the data, interviewees believe that Kaohsiung city should work harder to advance the regional operation headquarter, including the insufficient of human resource, irrelevancy of enactment and lack of related industries etc.. Kaohsiung city now is in the phase of transforming and her out value is led by manufacturing industry. However, with the advantage of manufacturing and two ports, the interviewees still believed on the Kaohsiung city once city government can combine these advantages with government policies and human resource. Most importantly, the leading sections should jump out of the box of bureaucracy and fully use the resources of industry, scholar and government; furthermore, they should improve the government efficiency by horizontal integration and develop the module of partnership, with these improvement and development, Kaohsiung will get closer to the regional operation headquarter.

<p>The purpose of this thesis was to study the view of six teachers, working in three different field areas, on ethics questions and ethics teaching in schools, from a global perspective. My second aim was to analyze whether there was any cooperation between these different field areas or between them and others, in order to improve the ethics teaching in schools. My research questions were intended for one teacher in a Swedish school, three teachers in a Brazilian school, one Swedish missionary and one Swedish senior lecturer in ethics. The research questions basically centre on how these teachers would define concepts such as ethics and global ethics, what kind of ethics questions they feel are important for the school to convey and if there is any form of cooperation between teachers in Swedish/Brazilian schools and different organizations, designed to improve the ethics teaching in schools from a global perspective.</p><p>On the basis of the results of my questionnaires I find the definition of ethics more or less equal among the six teachers. They relate ethics to moral philosophy and other questions such as what is right, wrong, good and evil. The teachers also believe ethics contains a reflection on global matters, like the environment, poverty and peace. Five out of six teachers define global ethics with conceptions like global responsibility, respect for future generations, global consensus, comprehension and tolerance. One of the teachers does not believe in global ethics but in groups that could establish some common values to be achieved.</p><p>All six teachers feel it is important to bring questions related to Human Rights to the fore in schools. These ethics questions would touch on increased egoism, responsibility, respect for the environment, respect for differences, solidarity, tolerance, attitudes and sexual morals. According to the teachers these matters should be practiced and studied from a micro, macro and gender perspective.</p><p>My results show that cooperation does exist between the Swedish/Brazilian schools and different organizations and institutions. There is cooperation between The Church of Sweden Mission and Brazilian organizations, but there are no exchanges between Swedish schools and schools outside Europe. One way to improve ethics teaching and facilitate exchanges between schools from a global perspective could be to globalize the curriculum. With a globalized curriculum teachers could give the students the global context they need in global society.</p>
