ABSTRACT

The criminal jurisdiction of overseas military bases is the product of state gaming. In international practice, the criminal jurisdiction of overseas military bases is mainly divided into the Soviet (Russian) model and the American model. Based on the comparative study of the Soviet Union (Russia) and the United States model, this paper believes that the acquisition of overseas military bases, the differences in policies, and the pattern of military rise are important factors affecting the change of criminal jurisdiction system of overseas military bases. This paper argues that our country should learn from the experience of the United States and the Soviet Union (Russia) to perfect the criminal jurisdiction system of our overseas security bases from two aspects of international law and domestic law.
