This book was released on 2002 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third China Human Development Report 2002, Making Green Development a Choice, looks at the environmental challenges facing China today especially in the context of its WTO entry and efforts towards a green and clean 2008 Olympics. The report argues that it is now time for the government and people to respond to these challenges and make the right choices to achieve green development and a sustainable future. What impacts do environmental changes have on people's health and livelihoods? How do environmental issues affect overall governance structure? The Report's first chapter begins with a review of China's people and their history and culture as the resource and foundation to build and modernize this vast land. Chapter two assesses the current status of the environment and chapter three examines the forces and trends that determine environmental changes including the linkages between society and environment. Chapter four analyzes the ongoing efforts to put China on the right path and discusses how the responses can be optimized. Chapter five concludes that today's decisions will have significant influence on the degree of sustainability in China's future development. A scenario approach is provided describing two alternatives: today's perilous path and tomorrow's green reform path. Informative and readable, the China Human Development Report 2002 is an invaluable collection of solid statistics, in-depth analysis and thought-provoking ideas for people all over the world to better understand the general system of societal, environmental and economic factors that together make China what it is today and what it can become in the future. The China Human Development Report 2002 was commissioned by UNDP China and was prepared by a team of eminent development professionals under the leadership of Stockholm Environment Institute, an independent, international research institute specializing in sustainable development and environment issues at the local, national, regional and global policy levels.

Book Synopsis China Human Development Report by : United Nations Development Programme
Download or read book China Human Development Report written by United Nations Development Programme and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is the first National Human Development Report (NHDR) for China. Taking its cue from the 1997 global Human Development Report, a first attempt is made in this report to rank according to a Human Development Index the provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities in China. The theme of this report is poverty alleviation. The Report summarizes the history and current status of sustainable human development in China. It then looks at the outstanding challenges to be faced and makes a number of broad policy recommendations for tackling them. Because this is the first national HDR undertaken for China, it establishes a baseline for future efforts by discussing in detail a wide spectrum of development issues, including the distribution of income, health care, education and nutrition, population and migration, the status of women, employment, social, security provision, the state of the natural environment, and the reform of state enterprises. This dialogue between the UNDP and China will be especially conducive to all future exchanges between China and foreign experts on social, development. Anyone interested in China, in particular the international business community, will need this book to understand the current status and future prospects for human development among one fifth of the world's population.

Book Synopsis China's West Region Development by : Ding Lu
Download or read book China's West Region Development written by Ding Lu and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2004 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last two decades, China's western inland region has largely been left out of the nation's economic boom. While its 355-million population accounts for 28% and its land area for 71% of China's total, the region's share of the national GDP is under 20%. Since 1999, Beijing has implemented the West China Development Program to boost the region's growth. To study the major domestic issues and the global implications of this program, the University of Victoria's Centre for Asia-Pacific Initiatives organized and hosted a multidisciplinary international conference on March 6?8, 2003. This volume of papers presented at the conference offers perspectives on the issues by leading experts of diversified academic disciplines from China, Canada, the US, and other countries.
Download or read book China written by and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2005 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since opening to the outside world and embarking on an economic reform programme in 1978, China has had one of the highest rates of sustained economic growth and poverty reduction in the world. However, during the 1990s several challenges emerged in relation to levels of inequality and environmental degradation. This evaluative report on the relative effectiveness of World Bank assistance to China focuses on the period 1993-2002, although it includes some references to developments in earlier and more recent years also. Findings include that the World Bank has made important contributions to economic reform, poverty reduction, infrastructure development, and environmental protection, but has fallen short of its objectives in promoting fiscal and financial reforms to reduce inequality and risk.
Download or read book China in 2020 written by Angang Hu and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid pace and grand scale of China's rise have produced a heady mixture of wonder and consternation in the West. Is China on track to become a superpower? What would that mean for the rest of the world? Economist Hu Angang approaches these questions through analysis of three major dimensions of China's rise: its overall economic and social development; advances in education, science, and technology (including alternative energy); and the likely complications posed by resource scarcity, environmental degradation, and climate change. After three decades of unprecedented economic growth, China is now home to the world's second-largest economy. It is the world's largest exporter and its second-largest consumer of energy (as well as number one in carbon emissions). Extrapolating from these seismic changes, Hu forecasts that by 2020 China will become a "mature, responsible, and attractive superpower" that will contribute, alongside the European Union, to the "end of the unipolar era dominated by the United States." China in 2020 presents a native Chinese perspective on the challenges and opportunities that Beijing will face as its global footprint expands. Through a meticulous examination of China's development trajectory, Hu Angang explains how his nation—as the world's largest emerging market—will impact global economic growth, foreign direct investment flows, energy consumption, and carbon dioxide emissions. He proposes a comprehensive strategic framework to guide the next stage of China's rise, seeking to maximize the country's positive impact on the world and minimize the negative externalities of its meteoric development.

Book Synopsis Urbanization with Chinese Characteristics: The Hukou System and Migration by : Kam Wing Chan
Download or read book Urbanization with Chinese Characteristics: The Hukou System and Migration written by Kam Wing Chan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many agree that rapid urbanization in China in the late 20th and early 21st centuries is a mega process significantly reshaping China and the global economy. China’s urbanization also carries a certain mystique, which has long fascinated generations of scholars and journalists alike. As it has turned out, many of the asserted Chinese feats are mostly fancied claims or gross misinterpretations (of statistics, for example). There does exist, however, an urbanization that displays rather uncommon "Chinese" characteristics that remain to inadequately understood. Building on his three decades of careful research, Professor Kam Wing Chan expertly dissects the complexity of China’s hukou system, migration, urbanization and their interrelationships in this set of journal articles published in the last ten years. These works range from seminal papers on Chinese urban definitions and statistics; and broad-perspective analysis of the hukou system of its first semi-centennial; to examinations of migration trends and geography; and critical evaluations of China’s 2014 urbanization blueprint and hukou reform plan. This convenient assemblage contains many of Chan’s recent important works. Together they also form a relatively coherent set on this topic. They are essential readings to anyone serious about gaining a true understanding of the prodigious urbanization in contemporary China.
