Green Leadership in China
This book examines green management practices among top-performing companies operating on the Chinese mainland. It begins with the question: what constitutes a “green” company? Is this definition different when we consider China’s sustainability efforts? Taken into consideration are such aspects as green management vision, supplier management programs, resource usage and investment in the environment. Through in-depth interviews with sustainability leaders and top executives, this Green Management Book will reveal how to systematically create or improve existing green management strategies in China. It uses actual case studies from domestic and foreign companies to highlight these practices. Over 2 years of extensive research - working with the research board of the Fortune China CSR rankings and China-based CSR strategy platform InnoCSR – contribute to a comprehensive list of companies that are leading the way towards a greener China.
Auf dem Weg zur grünen Weltmacht?
In den letzten Jahrzehnten kam kaum eine Auseinandersetzung, die sich mit globaler Machtverschiebung beschäftigte, ohne Verweis auf den beeindruckenden ökonomischen Aufstieg des Reichs der Mitte seit den 1980er Jahren und seine schon heute prägende Rolle in der international verflochtenen Weltwirtschaft aus. Im Angesicht verlockender Gewinnmöglichkeiten durch Outsourcing und Offshoring, wurde häufig ignoriert, dass China für seine Hochgeschwindigkeits-Industrialisierung eine katastrophale Umweltverschmutzung in Kauf nahm. Seit einigen Jahren jedoch sind die ökologischen Folgen, die das grenzenlos erscheinende Wirtschaftswachstum verursacht hat, unübersehbar und zu einer Bedrohung für die Gesundheit vieler der 1,4 Milliarden Chinesen geworden. Die Erkenntnis "(that) human society is embedded in, and completely depend(s) upon the earth's natural system" hat weltweit und somit auch in China zu einem Bewusstseinswandel geführt Die Frage ist heute nicht mehr ob, sondern wie lange die großen Wirtschaftsmächte ihren bisher wenig nachhaltigen Entwicklungsweg fortsetzen können. Die chinesische Umwelt-Debatte besitzt daher globalen Charakter.

Adjusting Towards AFTA
The decision to establish the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) was initially met with widespread enthusiasm. Some of this enthusiasm has since dissipated as all countries except Singapore have voiced concerns regarding the ability of sensitive industries to compete in the new protection-free environment. Underlying these concerns is the view that the evolving pattern of trade will be more complementary, or that inter-industry of net trade will dominate intra-industry trade. This study employs a new methodology to analyse the dynamics of trade in the ASEAN countries as they approach the deadline of AFTA, with a view to identify likely adjustment costs associated with liberalizing their trade.
The Asian Economy
The book is a key reading which provides a comprehensive and systematic overview of the contemporary Asian economy. The book focuses on the structural changes that are rapidly transforming the regional economic landscape in the 21st century. It highlights the concomitant challenges that have arisen, and further discusses prospects and potentialities of Asian economies given this new economic environment. The book also looks at broader social issues that are both the cause and result of these new and complex economic dynamism in Asia. Understanding the Asian economy cannot be achieved without understanding the new interrelationships and complexities that have evolved from this context, which continue to be driven by drastic changes in technological, demographic, and social structures, among others. Each of the chapters are titled based on "issues" and are framed in present continuous tense, intended to capture and emphasize the progressiveness of this new dynamism that are transforming the region in a fundamental way.
Asia and Global Production Networks

China and the Asia Pacific Economy
Eighteen papers from a June 1996 conference on China and the Asian Pacific Economy held in Brisbane, Australia--presented here in revised form--consider the possible future roles of the Chinese economy in the Asia Pacific region. The contributions place the Chinese economy in the context of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) process, and propose that the integration of the economies of China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan (the so-called Greater China phenomenon) has resulted in a Chinese emphasis on the northern part of APEC.
