Автор: Chi Hoang Phan Название: Handbook of Environmental Policy in China ISBN: 1681178133 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781681178134 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 244510.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Today, environmental protection is among the central matters for natural conservation, public health and sustainable business. With advanced technologies and changing lifestyles, the consumption of resources and release of wastes and pollutants are increasing fast. This requires policy makers to design environmental policies that properly guide the development of new products and business operations. The goal of environmental policy is to limit, slow-down, reduce or eliminate environmental damages caused by industrial and human activities. Chinas environmental crisis is one of the most pressing challenges to emerge from the countrys rapid industrialisation. Its economic rise, in which GDP grew on average 10 percent each year for over a decade, has come at the expense of its environment and public health. China is the worlds largest source of carbon emissions, and the air quality of many of its major cities fails to meet international health standards. While Chinas economic boom has greatly accelerated the devastation of its land and resources, the roots of its environmental problem stretch back centuries. Since Chinas environmental protection law was passed in 1989, the country has become the worlds second-largest economy and its biggest carbon emitter; decades of breakneck economic growth have left many of its rivers desiccated and its cities perennially shrouded in smog. Over the past year, the Chinese government has begun to emphasise environmental protection in its official rhetoric. Environmental issues generally addressed by environmental policy include (but are not limited to) air and water pollution, waste management, ecosystem management, biodiversity protection, and the protection of natural resources, wildlife and endangered species. This book compiles the latest research from around the globe in this field. Handbook of Environmental Policy in China brings together the work of leading scholars from various academic disciplines, such as economics, public policy, urban and environmental studies, and international studies. The topics include current environmental policies and regulations; government decentralization and environmental protection; urban development; industrial air pollution and household greenhouse gas emissions; consumption and emissions; and transportation systems. Readers will gain an in-depth understanding of the nuances of environmental law in China from this extensive overview. Combining theory and practice, the expert contributors provide an introduction to and comments on relevant environmental laws and regulations and their latest developments. This book will be an indispensable reference point for academics and advanced students of environmental studies in general and environmental law in particular. Practitioners will find the work both informative and important.

Автор: Phan, Le-ha (the University Of Hawaii At Manoa, Usa) Название: Transnational education crossing `asia` and `the west` ISBN: 1138604607 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781138604605 Издательство: Taylor&Francis Рейтинг: Цена: 45930.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: In this book, Phan Le-Ha identifies and discusses four growing self-sustained/sustaining fundamental phenomena in transnational education (TNE), namely (1) the planned, evolving and transformative mediocrity behind the endorsement of English-medium education legitimized by the interactive Asia-the West relationship; (2) the strategic employment of the terms ‘Asia/Asian’ and ‘West/Western’ by all stakeholders in their perceptions and construction of choice, quality, rigour, reliability and attractiveness of programs, courses, and locations; (3) the adjusted desire for an imagined (and often misinformed) ‘West’ among various stakeholders of transnational education; and (4) the assigned and self-realized ownership of English by otherwise normally on-the-margin groups of speakers. A focus on how these phenomena impact questions of identity and desire in TNE is a running theme. The above phenomena are discussed against the backdrop of ‘the rise of Asia’ sentiment and how this sentiment has played out in interactions and relationships between ‘the West’ and ‘Asia’ and among Asian institutions and various entities. Phan Le-Ha’s examination of the identified phenomena in TNE has been informed by her multi-layered engagement with the dialectic of the Asia-the West relationship, her critical take on certain pro-Asia and decolonisation scholarship, and her interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach to theorise the field and the specific topic under scrutiny. Phan Le-Ha shows that the current Asia chooses (not necessarily by force but largely by will and often with an informed and well-articulated agency) to go with the idea of the West and often desires an affiliation with the West either directly or indirectly, something that is getting more intense in the context of globalization, regionalization, and commercialization of education. The rise of Asia has made the idea of the West even more looked-for in Asia. TNE in Asia, in many ways, is the transforming and dynamic transit point, a layover that facilitates entry into a wanted destination – the West and/or the idea of the West. The West and Asia need one another more than ever in the context of the internationalization and commercialization of higher education. What’s more, the West and Asia have hardly ever been mutually exclusive but have rather been in an eventful love-and-obsession relationship with each other. This is the very dialectic proposition that Phan Le Ha takes throughout this book while paying specific attention to transnational higher education in the greater Asian region including the Middle East, following her several research projects conducted in the region since 2005 to date. Transnational Education Crossing 'the West' and 'Asia' explores: •English, Internationalisation of Higher Education, and Identity: Increasing Academic Monolingualism and English-only Package •Transnational Education and Dream Realization: From the Philippines to Vietnam, From Afghanistan to Dubai, From Everywhere in Asia to Thailand •Desiring International /Transnational Education: Theorisation of Key Concepts and Next Steps from Here The book will be of interest to researchers in the field of transnational education, Asia education and education policy.
