  • Beyond land financing: State entrepreneurialism and the restructuring of chengtou companies to sustain urban development

    Open Access•Minsi Liu, Karl Lo•ARTICLE•Urban Studies•2026•References: 83

    China’s land finance–driven state entrepreneurialism is threatened by an unprecedented property market downturn and the imposition of strict state regulations on land financialization. As such, it is important to consider how local governments and chengtou companies (urban investment and development companies) adapt to this new context to re-theorize state entrepreneurialism. Drawing on a case study of a Chinese eco-city, we theorize two types of…

    We are an international collective of Early Career Academics (ECAs) who met throughout 2020 to explore the implications of COVID-19 on precarious academics. With this intervention, our aims are to voice commonly shared experiences and concerns and to reflect on the extent to which the pandemic offers opportunities to redefine Higher Education and research institutions, in a context of ongoing precarity and funding cuts. Specifically, we explore a…

  • Eco-cities as urban laboratories of Chinese ecological modernization: Eco-experimentation and the modernization of urban governance

    Minsi Liu, Karl Lo•ARTICLE•Urban Geography•2022•Cited by: 10•References: 22

    Eco-cities have emerged as important sites for urban experiments on ecological modernization (EM). China has fully embraced this approach by building hundreds of high-profile eco-cities. This study investigated how the modernization of urban governance affects eco-cities and eco-experimentation, focusing on the relationship between the government and businesses. Our in-depth case study revealed the following: (1) the modernization of hierarchical…

  • A comparative review of urban climate governance in Chinese and Western contexts

    Open Access•Minsi Liu, Karl Lo et al.•ARTICLE•Urban Governance•2021

    Cities are at the forefront of the global challenges of climate change. Compared to other urban problems, the complexity and uncertainty of climate change presents new governance challenges. Consequently, new modes of urban governance have emerged to address climate change, including multilevel governance (the cooperation of governmental actors positioned at different jurisdictions and governance levels); network governance (the collaboration bet…

    Minsi Liu, Karl Lo•ARTICLE•Journal of Chinese Governance•2020•Cited by: 14•References: 11

    International cooperation has played a major role in climate governance. With a particular focus on China, this study develops a comparative framework to understand three pathways to international cooperation on climate change: multilateralism, bilateralism and transnationalism. Drawing on cooperation theory, we compare the three pathways in terms of their leaders, organisations, bargaining process, agreement, and enforcement efforts, and analyse…
