Digital and Green Transitions::Opportunities and Challenges for Europe and China
Get PDFThe digital and green transitions are crucial to the competitiveness of Europe and China. To strengthen their innovation efforts in this direction, it is essential to develop a technology ecosystem that promotes transdisciplinary research and combines digital and green knowledge. This chapter explores how the knowledge base in ‘twin’ digital and green technologies is developing in the European Union, the United Kingdom and China in comparison with other major players on the global technology scene such as the United States, Japan and South Korea. It investigates the Chinese policy programmes adopted to strengthen the knowledge base in this key area and analyses green digital patents. We conclude that Europe has an advantage over China in most of the twin transition technological areas investigated, but Europe has a few leading edges in the wider global landscape. The chapter emphasises the need for both competition and collaboration between the EU and China in driving the global sustainability goals with these technologies, which calls for ambitious public policies and collaborative efforts to address the challenges in greening digital technologies

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Aktionsplan China und Außenpolitik: Was Deutschland tun muss, um im Systemwettbewerb mit China zu bestehen
Get PDFChinas wirtschaftlicher und politischer Aufstieg fordert Deutschland auf vielen Ebenen heraus, von der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit seiner Industrie bis zur Robustheit seiner demokratischen Institutionen. Diese systemische Herausforderung zu bewältigen ist umso schwieriger, als Deutschland wirtschaftlich in hohem Maße von China abhängig ist
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Buch des Monats: Die verschwiegene Katastrophe beschreiben
No full textYang Jisheng, langjähriger Journalist der staatlichen chinesischen Nachrichtenagentur, hat ein erschütterndes Buch über den „Großen Sprung nach vorn“ geschrieben. Millionen ChinesInnen verhungerten 1958-62. Bis heute wird darüber geschwiegen. Nicht so Yang, der mit seinem Buch ein nie da gewesenes Bild der Katastrophe zeichnet und den Toten gedenkend einen „Grabstein“ setzt
Was bleibt von der Souveränität?
No full textDie Bedeutung staatlicher Souveränität und die Rolle des Staates werden seit einigen Jahren in Politik und Wissenschaft hitzig diskutiert und die Bedeutung staatlicher Souveränität in Frage gestellt: Die veränderten Problemlagen in Zeiten der Globalisierung hätten politische Bewältigungsstrategien notwendig gemacht, die nicht mehr durch intergouvernementale Kooperation zu lösen sei, argumentieren einige. Hinzu kommt der Ruf nach einer Stärkung kosmopolitischer Herrschaft. Doch es gibt auch Hinweise auf gegenteilige Entwicklungen
Ist Xi Jinping der mächtigste Mann der Welt?
No full textDie am Wochenende beschlossene Verfassungsänderung gibt Chinas Präsident Xi Jinping die Möglichkeit auf Lebenszeit im Amt zu bleiben. Das wird als Zeichen des wachsenden Autoritarismus und Xis zunehmender Macht gewertet. Doch ein genauerer Blick lässt zweifeln: Die Entscheidung ist eher Ausdruck von Zukunftssorgen und Selbstzweifeln der Regierenden in Peking
