OECD Principles on Water Governance: From Policy Standards to Practice
The science–policy interface is critical to the design and implementation of water policies. In theory, scientists provide policy makers with robust facts and data that can help guide decision making, and lessons from the political economy of reforms can push scientific boundaries further to trigger further research for wise solutions. While evidence-based policy is obviously desirable, in practice such a connection is not always straightforward.…

Same longitude, different latitudes: Institutional change in urban water in China, north and south
The problem of bringing sufficient water of adequate quality to urban areas and treating it once used is becoming increasingly complex, requiring and eliciting innovative political and institutional responses in all parts of China, wet as well as dry. The focus here is on a range of recent institutional innovations in Beijing, in the dry Hai River basin, and in major municipalities of the water-rich Pearl River Delta, in the areas of cross-bounda…

Environmental Consciousness in Japan
Methodology and Major Findings of a Comparative Research Project on Environmental Consciousness in Hong Kong (China), Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam
The papers in this special issue present the findings of research conducted as part of a comparative project on environmental consciousness in several countries (Hong Kong-China, Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam) in Southeast and East Asia.This project was undertaken in order to try to better understand the nature of public environmental concerns in different countries and to search for commonalities and differences in these perceptions.In this intro…

In Search of Asia-Pacific Eco-Consciousness
Eco-consciousness refers to the structures of environmental knowledge that facilitate or motivate positive human behavior toward the environment. It would seem that important elements of these structures differ from place to place, both at a very local level and between "East" (the Asia-Pacific) and "West", as well as between "North" and "South." Nonetheless, it is extremely difficult to delineate those differences. In part this stems from proble…

Environmental Governance in the Pacific Century
Can a big dragon follow in the wake of little ones?Two treatises on the post-reform Chinese economy
James Nickum: These two books look at the economy of the Chinese mainland in the 1980s from different scales: Kueh, from below, examines how the county level interacts with the center and provinces, especially in resource mobilization, while Perkins provides a vision of the larger trends of the economy as a whole in a comparative perspective. I will discuss Kueh's monograph first, and briefly, as it is more narrowly focused, albeit on one of the …
Water Management Organization in the People's Republic of China
Combining a journalist's view of major trials with a political-legal analysis, this text gives a picture of the politics of justice in Russia. Coverage of major court cases ranges from the 1961 trial of the currency speculators to the Communist Party trial of 1992
Small Hydroelectric Projects for Rural Development. Planning and Management
This book focuses on the dual problems of developing small hydroelectric energy sources in rural areas and of managing small hydroelectric-power-development projects. Case histories from China, the Philippines, New Zealand, and Hawaii report on the multiple uses of small hydro systems, such as water supply, flood control, and crop irrigation. Although these projects vary in their individual features, the framework of the integrated project cycle …
Surplus transfer and economic development in Taiwan and Shanghai
We learn by comparing. Yet reality present us with few clear-cut comparisons. There are almost always mitigating factors. Nowhere is this more evident than in the comparison of economic and political systems. For example, the average citizen of the Soviet Union is poorer and politically more inhibited than a counterpart in the United States; but is this the inevitable consequence of Marxism(-Leninism), or is it because the Soviet citizen lives in…
