China’s transition to low carbon society: drivers and implementation strategies
No full textFaced with increasingly socioeconomic and environmental challenges at the turn of the century, the Chinese government has unveiled a blueprint for building an environmentally friendly,low carbon and harmonious society by 2020 in its latest socioeconomic development plan. This chapter will investigate both the strengths and weaknesses of climate policy in China based on a comprehensive review of national and sectoral policies which expect to facilitate China’s transition to a low carbon society in the next couple of decades. The low carbon policy implementation strategies will be discussed in detail for three large carbon-emitting sectors in China, namely industry, power and buildings

Climate mitigation and waste management in the Asia-Pacific
No full textThe generation of waste is closely linked to population size, urbanization and affluence, but a state’s capacity to manage its waste and mitigate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that derive from it, is a function of that state’s regulatory and institutional regimes and the extent to which it has access to appropriate resources, infrastructure and incentives. There is, therefore, a clear demarcation between developed and developing countries’ capacities to manage waste. This chapter provides an overview of key waste management policies in the Asia-Pacific, a highly diverse region which consists of developed economies (Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan), economies-in-transition (Malaysia, Thailand, China, to name a few), and still relatively poor, developing countries (the Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, and all the Pacific island countries, again to name just a few). Owing to space constraints, this chapter focuses on two flagship countries that have introduced progressive waste management policies in recent years, some with the explicit intent to reduce GHG emissions
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
