Book Synopsis Railroads and the Transformation of China by : Elisabeth Köll
Download or read book Railroads and the Transformation of China written by Elisabeth Köll and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a vehicle to convey both the history of modern China and the complex forces still driving the nation’s economic success, rail has no equal. Railroads and the Transformation of China is the first comprehensive history, in any language, of railroad operation from the last decades of the Qing Empire to the present. China’s first fractured lines were built under semicolonial conditions by competing foreign investors. The national system that began taking shape in the 1910s suffered all the ills of the country at large: warlordism and Japanese invasion, Chinese partisan sabotage, the Great Leap Forward when lines suffered in the “battle for steel,” and the Cultural Revolution, during which Red Guards were granted free passage to “make revolution” across the country, nearly collapsing the system. Elisabeth Köll’s expansive study shows how railroads survived the rupture of the 1949 Communist revolution and became an enduring model of Chinese infrastructure expansion. The railroads persisted because they were exemplary bureaucratic institutions. Through detailed archival research and interviews, Köll builds case studies illuminating the strength of rail administration. Pragmatic management, combining central authority and local autonomy, sustained rail organizations amid shifting political and economic priorities. As Köll shows, rail provided a blueprint for the past forty years of ambitious, semipublic business development and remains an essential component of the PRC’s politically charged, technocratic economic model for China’s future.
Book Synopsis China's High-Speed Rail Development by : Martha Lawrence
Download or read book China's High-Speed Rail Development written by Martha Lawrence and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, China has built 25,000 km of dedicated highspeed railway—more than the rest of the world combined. What can we learn from this remarkable experience? China’s High-Speed Rail Development examines the Chinese experience to draw lessons for countries considering investing in high-speed rail. The report scrutinizes the planning and delivery mechanisms that enabled the rapid construction of the high-speed rail system. It highlights the role of long-term planning, consistent plan execution, and a joint venture structure that ensures active participation of provincial and local governments in project planning and financing. Traffic on China’s high-speed trains has grown to 1.7 billion passengers a year. The study examines the characteristics of the markets for which high-speed rail is competitive in China. It discusses the pricing and service design considerations that go into making high-speed rail services competitive with other modes and factors such as good urban connectivity that make the service attractive to customers. One of the most remarkable aspects of the Chinese experience is the rapid pace of high-quality construction. The report looks at the role of strong capacity development within and cooperation among China Railway Corporation, rail manufacturers, universities, research institutions, laboratories, and engineering centers that allowed for rapid technological advancement and localization of technology. It describes the project delivery structures and incentives for delivering quality and timely results. Finally, the report analyzes the financial and economic sustainability of the investment in high-speed rail. It finds that a developing country can price high-speed rail services affordably and still achieve financial viability, but this requires very high passenger density. Economic viability similarly depends on high passenger density.

Book Synopsis Economic Prosperity and Space Development by : Michael G. Baran
Download or read book Economic Prosperity and Space Development written by Michael G. Baran and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-07-09 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been over two years in the making. While the title may appear to be specific to Economics and Space Development I have been sure to include the human element as well as consider environmental concerns. I feel out of necessity it is essential something be done to prevent our world economy from running the risk of falling into a depression. Whereby the middle class and the poor would see their positions decline, which is already happening to some extent. Politicians, business leaders, and economists appear to be in a tough position, with little room to manoeuvre, with respect to revitalising the world economy. As well, there may not have been much focus yet on developing new strategies to bring about economic recovery. Since the focus to date appears to be on regaining economic stability. I feel what I have to offer, which may not be the ultimate or only solution, may at the very least stimulate some thoughtful discussions on how to improve the economic stability and perhaps return to some economic growth. "Economic Prosperity and Space Development" is essentially about how we can improve our current world economic malaise by looking at Space Exploration and Development as a way to exploit our Solar Systems and the Galaxy's wealth. I have related the advent of man's expansion into the Galaxy in relation to the historical exploitation of the America's by European Nations and the resulting accumulation of wealth and generation of economic prosperity. I begin by documenting the poor economic situation the world is in. I have obtained and reported economic data from the IMF, the World Bank, Government Agencies, and recent News Reports. The main direction these reports take is that the National and City governments and their respective budgets appear to have debt risk especially in the current economic environment. As well many Industries are finding their markets lacking growth or their markets are at risk. I have also included a section on the environment which is bound to be detrimentally affected should the economy continue to falter. This at a time when we appear to be making some progress in waste processes at the city and industrial level. As to financing this proposed expansion into Space I detail in the book how the G20 community and the World Bank should set up long term financing along the lines of the various programs the World Bank is currently involved with. But , I imagine on a much larger scale. Due to scope of the financial outlay I also recommend the Space Development is organised along the lines of Economic Communities (EU , NA, AP , etc) rather just the individual Nation states. I provide examples of recent World Bank financed programs that have been implemented. Then finally I detail how our existence on earth is subject to catastrophic events. Asteroids, Climate change, changes in magnetic polar locations. While we hope that our existence on earth should be free from trouble for the next few thousand years at least. We just do not know when to expect the next occurrence. Having technologies developed that would allow the transport of a good portion of the populace and nature would help alleviate that risk.

Book Synopsis China as an Innovation Nation by : Yu Zhou
Download or read book China as an Innovation Nation written by Yu Zhou and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume assesses China's transition to innovation-nation status in terms of social conditions, industry characteristics and economic impacts over the past three decades, also providing insights into future developments. Defining innovation as the process that generates a higher quality, lower cost product than was previously available, the introductory chapter conceptualizes the theory of an innovation nation and the lessons from Japan and Untied States. It outlines the key governance, employment and investment institutions that China must build for such transition to occur, and examines China's challenges and strategies to innovate in the era of global production systems. Two succeeding chapters explain the evolving roles of Chinese state in innovation, and the new landscape of venture capital finance. The remaining chapters provide studies of major industries, which contain analyses of the evolving roles of investment by government agencies and business interests in the process. Included in these studies are traditional industries such as mechanical engineering, railroads, and automobiles; rapidly evolving and internationally highly integrated industries such as information-and-communication-technology (ICT); and newly emerging sectors such as wind and solar energy. Written by leading academics in the field, studies in this volume reveal Chinese innovation as diverse across industries and enterprises and fluid over time. In each sector, we observe continued co-evolution of state policy, market demand, and technology development. The strategies and structures of individual companies and industrial ecosystems are changing rapidly. The sum total of the studies is a great step forward in our understanding of the industrial foundations of China's attempt to become an innovation nation.
