The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)
There is a growing policy trend that in addressing climate change, various trade measures must be implemented to enhance the sustainable practices of global stakeholders. As a response to level up the playing field of global trade partners in enhancing sustainability, the EU recently introduced the European Union (EU) Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which will impose a carbon price on certain imports, namely, electricity, aluminium, cement, iron and steel, and fertilizer, to the EU. The EU CBAM may, however, cause trade disputes among World Trade Organization (WTO) members. EU and ASEAN trade relations are currently on an upswing trajectory, and there are therefore some risks involved in implementing the EU CBAM in the ASEAN region. At the same time, despite the perceived adverse effects, there is room for improvement in communicating EU CBAM implementation in ASEAN. The EU should introduce more calibrated approaches to implementing the EU CBAM in ASEAN, particularly considering the political and strategic risks, economic development and capacity, and climate ambitions of individual ASEAN countries.

Private Politics and Peasant Mobilization
This book explores how different corporate governance strategies affect community mobilization and the scope for influence when an area’s population is faced with the arrival of the extraction industry. Drawing on ethnographic research into Peruvian mining localities, the author analyses a series of relationships which are characterized by confrontations, clientelism, demobilization and strategic collaboration. By presenting a detailed account of micro practices and showing how these processes are interpreted by different groups, Gustafsson offers a refined understanding of the multiple layers and informal workings of power between transnational corporations and local communities.

Deciphering China's Microchip Industry
The ban on sales of ZTE, imposed by the US, made China feel the weight of a small chip. The ban is termed as a trade war. What is the truth behind this trade friction? Why did the Chinese microchip industry encounter such a predicament? What is the future of the microchip industry in China? This book tried to answer these questions, uncovers the secrets of China's microchip industry, and traces its development. It looks at bridging the gap between the chip technology and public perception, and predicts how China can make a breakthrough in this industry. The book takes a 'macro-history view' to describe the race among superpowers in the microchip industry and records people's constant explorations into the industry in the past six decades. It also compares the microchip industry in China to that of United States, Japan, and South Korea.
