The rapid development of cross-border e-commerce over the past decade has accelerated the integration of the global economy. At the same time, cross-border e-commerce has increased the prevalence of cybercrime, and the future success of e-commerce depends on enhanced online privacy and security. However, investigating security incidents is time- and cost-intensive as identifying telltale anomalies and the source of attacks requires the use of multiple forensic tools and technologies and security domain knowledge. Prompt responses to cyber-attacks are important to reduce damage and loss and to improve the security of cross-border e-commerce. This article proposes a digital forensic model for first incident responders to identify suspicious system behaviors. A prototype system is developed and evaluated by incident response handlers. The model and system are proven to help reduce time and effort in investigating cyberattacks. The proposed model is expected to enhance security incident handling efficiency for cross-border e-commerce.

The contemporary research in the field of economic and legal assessment of e-trade development, published in Russia, provides a general description of the situation and prospects for the development of international online transactions. At the same time, the aggregate features of taxation of cross-border e-commerce (which is the paper’s subject) are highlighted, without focusing on indirect methods of tax regulation (which are the object of the paper). Based on previous theoretical, methodological and practical studies, the authors systematize the knowledge about cross-border e-commerce operations’ indirect tax regulation both at the national and interstate level, defining the main approaches to taxation in this area. They also propose to focus on the priority of the regulatory (stimulating) role of taxes in their application as tools for influencing international online trading transactions. The main provisions of the paper reveal the principles and features of collecting value-added tax (VAT), excise, customs, and postal duties in the field of export-import e-trade operations with goods, digital content, and electronic services in national tax systems. In addition, this paper characterizes the main directions of international coordination of cross-border e-commerce indirect taxation. The authors have proven their hypothesis that the rapid development of cross-border e-trade in the modern world makes this field of international economic relations attractive enough to enhance the fiscal role of indirect taxation at the national level; however, the difficulties for the global economy early in the third decade of the 21st century require prioritizing the regulating (stimulating) role of indirect taxes to support global economic and trade operations growth, including its electronic segment.

AbstractTechnology is transforming global trade. The global trading system, however, has struggled to keep up with changes in technology. One of the major challenges for the trading system is that the issues raised by digitally enabled commerce are largely regulatory in nature. The issues that are at the forefront of digital trade increasingly relate to citizens’ most fundamental interactions, including speech, finance, energy, and transportation. This paper argues that resolving these international regulatory issues will require reforming the approach that has been taken to global trade negotiations. International discussions around the most challenging issues in the digital economy ought to move away from the ‘horse-trading’ nature of traditional trade negotiations and towards a strategy focused on regulatory cooperation. Failure to achieve regulatory cooperation could further fragment digital services based upon national borders. The Internet has the potential to positively impact the global economy precisely because it is global, decentralized, and bottom-up in nature. International policymaking through regulatory cooperation can maintain those principles, while protecting fundamental national concerns such as stability, privacy, and security.

The paper discusses the specific features of e-business in the world market, as well as identifies its current state and the key development trends. A special emphasis is put that e-commerce as a critical element of a "new economy" is gaining increasingly more practical implications. It is argued that further effective development of world commerce triggers a need to evaluate the main trends and prospects of the e-commerce market which makes the basis of information business. The world economy demonstrates rapid development towards building global economic space to give rise to a new type of economy. In this context, the need to provide more insights into the role and significance of Ukraine in this environment seems relevant and timely. The global economic space enhances the elimination of barriers to the movement of goods, services and capital, speeding up payment transactions, as well as contributes to harmonization of market regulation. The authors suggest avoiding hasty conclusions as to the readiness of the Ukrainian economy to the total integration into the free market system without verified findings from rigorous research. The study provides evidence that digital globalization of economic processes is becoming a fundamental trend and a driver of the overall modern economy development which has been underpinned by a number of revolutionary technological advances along with the general patterns of economic evolution that guides modern management to be sensitive to the rules of doing business, encourages labour productivity and product quality increase, helps to smooth the recession phases of the economic cycle, etc. The study findings demonstrate that a major effect of digital globalization is international economic integration which spurs non-traditional cross-border flows of goods, rapid loan and investment growth, fosters global exchange of information, ideas and technologies, thus contributing to a transformation of national economies into single global economy. However, it is argued that excessive national protectionism can hamper the development of the global digital economy. Moreover, the desire to store all data solely on the national servers and unjustified protection of confidential information will create extra barriers to cross-border trade and inhibit globalization of the world digital economy.

<p>With the rapid development of network information, cross-border e-commerce has ushered in a warm spring, which has greatly benefited the good development of global economy and trade. Under this realistic background, the gap of professional talents is also very large. As business English is one of the most popular majors in the work of Crossborder e-commerce, it is absolutely a key teaching point how various universities precisely construct the curriculum system of practice in this major to improve the professional competence skills, at the same time, to conform to the trend of global business environment. It directly puts forward higher requirements to the teaching quality in colleges and universities to cultivate business talents to meet the talents demand of every enterprise.</p>

Harnessing the rapid development of mobile internet technology, the sharing economy has experienced unprecedented growth in the global economy, especially in China. Likely due to its increasing popularity, more and more businesses have adopted this label in China. There is a concern as to the essential meaning of the sharing economy. As it is difficult to have a universally accepted definition, we aim to map the sharing economy and demystify the use of it in China in this paper. We propose seven organizing essential elements of the sharing economy: access use rights instead of ownership, idle capacity, short term, peer-to-peer, Internet platforms mediated, for monetary profit, and shared value orientation. By satisfying all or only parts of these elements, we propose one typology of sharing economy, and to differentiate bona fide sharing economy from quasi- and pseudo-sharing economy. Finally, there are still many problems that need to be solved urgently in the real sharing economy from the perspective of the government, companies and individuals.

Rwanda has received international praise for its rapid development and is said to be undergoing a ‘technology revolution’ at the hands of President Paul Kagame who has been described as a ‘Digital President’. This quantitative content analysis of Kagame’s official Twitter account analysed the first ten years of his tweets and found that he primarily tweets in English, with a positive sentiment about cross-government and cross-border interactions and, in doing so, presents Rwanda as a progressive, democratic player that is connected multilaterally to both African and global affairs. Throughout the decade, Kagame’s tweets evolved from being domestically focused on self-promotion to more globally focused on foreign engagement. While these findings could be indicative of a semi-authoritarian state, they also point to the presence of ‘Twitter diplomacy’ and the use of soft power tactics, which become stronger and clearer in the latter part of the decade.

With the rapid development of the world’s transportation infrastructure, many long-span bridges were constructed in recent years, especially in China. However, these bridges are easily subjected to various damages due to dynamic loads (such as wind-, earthquake-, and vehicle-induced vibration) or environmental factors (such as corrosion). Therefore, structural health monitoring (SHM) is vital to guarantee the safety of bridges in their service lives. With its wide frequency response range, fast response, simple preparation process, ease of processing, low cost, and other advantages, the piezoelectric transducer is commonly employed for the SHM of bridges. This paper summarizes the application of piezoelectric materials for the SHM of bridges, including the monitoring of the concrete strength, bolt looseness, steel corrosion, and grouting density. For each problem, the application of piezoelectric materials in different research methods is described. The related data processing methods for four types of bridge detection are briefly summarized, and the principles of each method in practical application are listed. Finally, issues to be studied when using piezoelectric materials for monitoring are discussed, and future application prospects and development directions are presented.
