The remarkable performance of the Chinese economy in the last three decades has placed China at the centre of the world stage. In 1993, China became a net importer of energy, although it was not until the early 2000s that the world began to pay more attention to China's energy needs and its potential impact on the world. With China's energy search occurring within a hegemonic global structure dominated by the United States, the US watches with interest as China enhances its ties with energy-rich states.
The book examines this triangular relationship and questions whether the US and China are in competition regarding access to the energy of a third state, within the context of a potential power transition. It includes case studies on China's energy relationship with countries such as Canada, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Iran, Sudan and Venezuela and aims to understand the way a rising power interacts with the existing leading power and the possible outcome of this competition. The analytical framework employed helps the reader to understand not only the nature and pattern of triangles among US, China and the Resource Rich States under 'resource diplomacy', but also the salient features of US-China competition around the world.
Making an impressive contribution to the literature in fields such as US-China relations, international relations, Chinese foreign policy and global energy geopolitics, this book will appeal to students and scholars of these subjects.

Описание: Power Grab shows that controlling the means of production of oil and minerals determines the rise and fall of political leaders. Nationalization - seizing operations for the state - is a gamble: its immediate windfalls can fortify the foundations of enduring rule, or its operational costs can risk future prosperity and political survival.

Название: A Governance Approach to Urban Water Public–Private Partnerships: Case Studies and Lessons from Asia and the Pacific ISBN: 9292694138 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789292694135 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 20070.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This publication explores lessons from case studies on the governance of public–private partnerships (PPPs) in the water and sanitation sector in Asia and the Pacific.It aims to support governments and private practitioners in meeting the challenge of providing universal access to water and sanitation in the region's fast-growing cities. The report suggests three key areas for action. First, governments can establish a water governance framework supported by capable public institutions, a buoyant revenue regime, and transparent targeted subsidies. Second, they can develop the enabling environment through a sector-specific PPP strategy, rigorous project preparation, and a sound fiscal framework. Third, they can embed transaction design that incorporates bankability, balanced risk allocation, efficient and competitive procurement, and clear performance metrics linked to payment.

Описание: There is a paradox in the saying, Thank you for your service. Many find pride in saying it. However, it comes off to the many who have served as hollow, not really meaning anything. Over 453,000 veterans across the United States are currently unemployed or greatly underemployed, and over 6,200 veterans commit suicide every year because of hopelessness and depression. This book answers some of the ageless questions about our veterans' struggles and identifies some of the causes of these deeply rooted issues. Troubles with adapting to civilian life, in combination with health issues, leads to diminished emotional stability, sensations of helplessness, and feelings of hopelessness. Many commit suicides due to struggles adapting back into society. This is not a new conflict or a new issue. Stereotyping of veterans, and labeling veterans, is an age-old dilemma, stretching back to before the Roman empire was started. But it does not have to be like this. There is a way to prevent this and lend a hand to those who served our great country. This book shares must-read information that addresses our failure to support or troops after returning home and starts the necessary conversation to make changes. It's time we go beyond exclusively recognizing the veterans of World War 2 as the greatest generation. It's time to recognize all who volunteer to serve as being the greatest of every generation!
