ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND THE GREEN SECTOR IN CHINA: LEGAL FRAMEWORK AND BILATERAL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
No full textIl lavoro mira a fornire una visione d'insieme del quadro normativo relativo alla protezione
ambientale nella Repubblica Popolare Cinese, al fine di valutarne le traiettorie, le aree di criticità e le
implicazioni che ne derivano in chiave di sviluppo delle relazioni bilaterali Europa-Cina, sia in ambito
istituzionale che d'affari. La ricerca affianca all’analisi del quadro normativo nazionale le sue declinazioni a
livello locale, prendendo in esame il caso specifico del Hunan, Provincia particolarmente rilevante sia per gli
allarmanti livelli di inquinamento attuali, sia per le misure messe in atto dal suo governo per il rimedio e la
prevenzione, le quali passano anche attraverso la costruzione di una rete di relazioni con svariati player
istituzionali e privati a livello internazionale, tra cui spicca la Regione Marche. I settori maggiormente
approfonditi sono la tutela del suolo e dell'aria, i quali rappresentano gli ambiti di maggiore criticità attuale
e futura per le politiche e le pratiche di protezione ambientale. Complementare all'analisi del quadro
normativo è la prospettiva storica con cui la stessa è condotta, nonché la presa in esame del contesto
politico corrente, che ne traccia le direttrici per lo sviluppo futuro e costituisce il piano sul quale le relazioni
bilaterali Europa-Cina dovranno fondarsi. Pertanto, la ricerca accademica sul piano giuridico attinge
largamente ad una larga rassegna di lavori di estrazione consulenziale e professionale, in particolare
attraverso la documentazione dei casi di studio aziendale relativi a Loccioni e Zoomlion e delle rispettive
strategie di ingresso nel settore green in Cina ed in Italia. Le implicazioni pratiche di questo lavoro sono da
identificarsi nel contributo che lo stesso intende fornire a livello di gestione strategica, con focus particolare
sui processi di internazionalizzazione di piccole e medie imprese europee del settore green verso la Cina. Lo
stesso lavoro intende fornire un contributo anche a livello di policy making, laddove le relazioni istituzionali
internazionali, anche e soprattutto a livello decentrato, possono costituire una cornice decisiva per lo
sviluppo di relazioni d'affari basate su presupposti di reciprocità e sostenibilità.The present work aims at providing an overarching review of the legal framework relating to the
environmental protection in the People’s Republic of China, in order to evaluate its development pattern,
its critical points and their implications for the development of bilateral institutional and business relations.
The analysis of the legal framework on the national level is complemented with its declinations on the local
level, taking Human Province as a case of study, because of its particularly serious environmental current
conditions and the measures implemented by the government for pollution remediation and prevention,
which include a strong institutional activism, with the establishing of relations with several international
institutional and private players, amongst which the Italian Marche Region is probably the most relevant.
The mostly analysed sectors by this work are the prevention and remediation of soil and air pollution, as
they probably represent the most sensitive domains for current and future environment protection policies.
The legal framework analysis is supported by a historical perspective of its development over time, as well
as by the analysis of the current political context, which highlights the possible trajectories for
improvements and represents the framework in which Europe-China future bilateral relations are likely to
take place. An academic approach on legal research has thus been backed up by an extensive review of
consulting and professional works, in particular by the reconstruction of Loccioni and Zoomlion cases of
study and their business development strategies respectively towards China’s and Italy’s green sectors. The
practical implications by the present work are to be found in the support which it aims at providing to
strategic management, with particular focus on international business development processes by European
small and medium enterprises within the green sector in China. The present work aims also at providing a
support for institutional policy making, whereas international relations -and markedly decentralized
relations- can be a decisive background for win-win and sustainable bilateral international relations
between Europe and China firms

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
