Promise Cinderella 04

Other books tell us what to think about China. This book shows us how to think with and through China. A stirring fusion of social analysis and Sinofuturism, David Tyfield’s Liberalism 2.0 and the Rise of China lays out the logics of innovation through which the global system is being reinvented – as we speak.Nigel Clark, Chair of Social Sustainability, Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University, UK

Tyfield offers us a fascinating crystal ball into the future playing out of current crises of neoliberal global capitalism informed by his deep understanding of the dynamics of complex power/knowledge systems and the concept of innovation-as-politics. He combines this astute theoretical vision of the contradictions and ‘monstrosities’ of post-human technological change with an eye-opening empirical study of China’s dynamic systems innovation, epitomized by turbulent struggles over transitions in electric auto-mobility and the disruptive emergence of mobility-as-a-service. You could not find a better starting place for insights into the future of urbanization in megacities, the failure of ‘Googliberal’ transformations of the global economy, and the tug-of-war of liberty-security logics that will shape the 21st century global economy.Mimi Sheller, Professor of Sociology and Director of the Center for Mobilities Research and Policy, Drexel University, USA

A superb analysis of China’s innovation system and the struggle for new mobility. This title is essential to understand the social shaping of technology and the fragmented but dynamic politics of innovation in China.Boy Lüthje, Visiting Professor School of Government, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China
Deeply questioning the global risks we face, Tyfield brilliantly shows the intrinsic limits built into the neoliberal model of innovation, epitomized by Silicon Valley, and reveals why and how new sources of power-knowledge system innovations are emerging in China. Anyone looking for a new technological and economic vision of ecological civilization should read this title.Sang-Jin Han,Professor Emeritus, Department of Sociology, Seoul National University, South Korea

Liberalism 2.0 and the Rise of China

"A thoughtful, intelligent and meticulously-researched volume which offers a wealth of comparative insights on the role and reach of think tanks in the EU and the US. Rastrick's study unearths new ground on how think tanks on both sides of the Atlantic generate and disseminate ideas to multiple stakeholders. Destined to enjoy a very long shelf life." - Donald E. Abelson, The University of Western Ontario　

"This book makes a welcome and important contribution to our understanding of the significant differences that exist between American think tanks and those EU-focussed think tanks based in Brussels. Rastrick's analysis is clear, systematic and full of interesting insights into the cultural and structural causes that explain these differences. Anyone who wishes to understand how and why the think tank worlds of DC and Brussels differ needs to read to this book." - Stephen Brooks, University of Windsor (Canada) and University of Michigan (US)

"This book was well written by an outstanding interdisciplinary expert with a long and successful career. It uses many case studies to explain how spatial technologies can be utilized to understand and solve problems in a variety of scientific fields. Different from other books, the case studies in this book were selected from the impressively large number of real-world projects the author worked worldwide, e.g. the demolition of the chemical weapons in Libya, reported by The New York Times. It is an excellent reference book suitable for a wide range of readers who are interested in GIS, environmental science, geology, resource management, civil engineering, planning, and many more. Besides its rich contents in technologies, this book is also inspiring spiritually, especially for students and young professionals."—Mary Lee, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
"GIS Technology Applications in Environmental and Earth Sciences is a valuable resource. Bai Tian has a solid history and vast experience in these fields. Bai Tian’s academic and professional career has given him a wellspring of knowledge in the world of GIS and Earth Science. His book provides a source for useful information on the topics. As well as real-world applications used in variety of professional projects from the industry. This is not just theory; this is how GIS is used for Environmental Remediation. Many important topics are covered such as efficient and proper field data collection techniques. The amount of case studies within the book related to professional level projects with industry proven results is priceless. This is a wonderful book and a must have for students and professionals alike!" — Matthew Scheuer, Parsons, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
"GIS Technology Applications in Environmental and Earth Sciences provides a wealth of information about GIS software for use in environmental applications. The author provides a good overview of technologies being applied for understanding and mapping environmental problems. Readers will learn about data gathering, data modeling and visualizing spatial data in environmental context." —3D Visualization World Magazine, January 2017

"Manjiao Chi has written an excellent work on the existing efforts of integrating the goals of sustainable development into the framework of investment agreements. The book defines sustainable development as the goal to be achieved, its incorporation within investment treaties and the improvements that could be made to make such incorporation more effective so that investment protection could be enmeshed with the achievement of the goals of sustainable development. This work will have a definite impact on the future course of the development of the international law on foreign investment." —M. Sornarajah, CJ Koh Professor of Law, Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore
"This is a first rate primer on how to think about ‘sustainable development’ for purposes of the international investment regime. Professor Manjiao Chi goes beyond the obvious, such as mentioning "sustainable development" in the preambles of investment treaties, to consider, for example, how changes to substantive investment obligations and to the procedures applicable within investor-state arbitrations can further the economic and other goals associated with "sustainable development." He also makes a plausible case that changes to investment treaties, including moves in favor of greater transparency and amicus participation, can make a useful contribution to our understanding of what the vague, but often cited, principle of "sustainable development" means." —José E. Alvarez, Herbert and Rose Rubin Professor of International Law, NYU School of Law, USA

'Junji Nakagawa has written a must-read primer for anyone interested in international investment law and, in particular, the complex issues raised by nationalization disputes in natural resources development. This monograph fills an important gap in the literature on investment law and arbitration by meticulously studying the ways and means that foreign investors and host states employ to successfully manage their business relationship through the conclusion, implementation, revision and termination of agreements.　 Building upon the negotiation theory, Junji Nakagawa demonstrates that the whole legal process of transnational natural resource development is a unique and dynamic bargaining process which a fundamental pillar of international investment law.' — Professor Julien Chaisse, Faculty of Law&Director, Centre for Financial Regulation and Economic Development, The Chinese University of Hong Kong

'Nationalization, Natural Resources and International Investment Law by Junji Nakagawa is a highly recommended reading for all those academics, graduate students, policy makers, and legal practitioners interested in nationalization disputes in particular and international investment law in general. It is not only Nakagawa’s very thorough analysis of investment contracts which provides many insights into this field. It is the highly innovative approach of applying the analytical framework of dynamic bargaining theory to the issue of nationalization disputes which renders this book an outstanding piece of interdisciplinary research in international investment law which masterfully adds also to the body of research in public international law more broadly. Last but not least, the book is a remarkable piece of evidence of the author’s far-sightedness. The analysis presented in this book resembles by and large Nakagawa’s now translated Ph.D. thesis submitted 30 years ago. His research, however, seems more topical than ever and has not lost any of its innovation.' — Steffen Hindelang, Professor, Department of Law, Freie Universität Berlin
