    Content: Faced with intensified environmental degradation and decreased agricultural land productivity, the Chinese government has sought policy interventions to reverse both of these negative trends. Among the policy instruments is the Conversion of Cropland to Forest and Grassland Program (CCFGP) that aims to change the pattern of agricultural land use in 25 provinces and autonomous regions across China. This book provides the most comprehensive assessment of the CCFGP undertaken to date. It allows the consideration of fundamental questions pertaining to the sustainability of the land use changes brought about by the CCFGP, its cost effectiveness and the prospects for policy evolution. Contributions from a wide range of economists and scientists in the book provide policymakers in the Chinese government with relevant information with which to pursue more effectively agro-environmental goals

    Content: This research review discusses and analyses a unique collection of key publications at the intersection of biology and economics, two disciplines that share a common subject: Homo sapiens. Beginning with Thomas Malthus-whose dire predictions of mass starvation due to population growth influenced Charles Darwin-economists have routinely used biological arguments in their models and methods. The review summarizes the most important of these developments in areas such as sociobiology, evolutionary psychology, behavioral ecology, behavioral economics and finance, neuroeconomics, and behavioral genomics. This research review will be an indispensable tool for economists, biologists, and practitioners looking to develop a deeper understanding of the limits of Homo economicus

    Series Statement: Advances in new institutional analysis
    Content: China's recent evolution is not only a story of extraordinary economic growth but also a story of great institutional change. Fan Zhang challenges traditional theory to explain the real origins of China's reform, the political and economic forces driving it, and the reasoning behind its stagnation. The institutional re-arrangement of government and market has been crucial in this marketization process. Using a wealth of documents and cases, Zhang provides a detailed analysis of China's institutional changes over the past 40 years, focusing on the government-market relationship. A theoretical framework is presented to explain the targets and incentives of government and business firms in a bureaucratic-market system, which promoted economic growth, but also fostered corruption and resulted in a re-centralisation of the system. Using an index of marketization in China since 1978, Zhang shows that overall, market expansion has continued but with diminishing marginal gains. The government control of financial resources that had previously been relaxed in the early years of reform has been enhanced to some extent as a result of the changing institutional environment. Policy makers dealing with China-related policies, researchers and postgraduate students in political science, economics and Chinese studies will find this book a compelling exploration of the current and constant cooperation and conflict between government and market

    Content: "'Planetary Urbanism - The Transformative Power of Cities" dokumentiert die Ergebnisse des 2015 ausgeschriebenen Wettbewerbs 'Planetary Urbanism'. Ebenso wie der in 2012 durchgeführte Wettbewerb 'Out of Balance' fordert er zur Auseinandersetzung mit dem übergeordneten Thema 'Kritik der Gegenwart' auf. Wir leben im Jahrhundert der Städte und der Verstädterung. Für nahezu alle menschlichen Gesellschaften werden urbane Räume die zentrale Organisationsform, wo nahezu alle Zukunftsfragen der Menschheit entschieden werden. Die unaufhaltsam voranschreitende Verstädterung der Welt wirft jedoch mehr Fragen auf, als es derzeit Antworten gibt. Zeigen sich im Prozess der Urbanisierung in den verschiedenen Teilen der Welt charakteristische Merkmale, wiedererkennbare Muster? Sind die Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt vergleichbar? Sind die Ursachen für die Migration vergleichbar und wie sieht die Kehrseite des Urbanisierungsprozesses aus: Was geschieht eigentlich auf dem verlassenen 'Land'? Urbanisierung wälzt alle überkommenen Strukturen um, aber ist sie überhaupt ein Prozess, der einer allgemeinen Analyse zugänglich ist, der sich auf den 'Begriff bringen' lässt oder zerfällt er in diverse Einzelbewegungen, die nur noch empirisch nachgezeichnet werden können?" -- "'Planetary Urbanism - The Transformative Power of Cities' documents the results of the 'Planetary Urbanism' competition announced in 2015. Like the 'Out of Balance' competition held in 2012, it encourages discussion of the overarching topic of 'Criticism of the Present'. We live in the century of cities and urbanization. For almost all human societies, urban spaces are becoming the central form of organization, where almost all questions about the future of humanity are decided. However, the inexorable urbanization of the world raises more questions than there are currently answers. Are there characteristic features and recognizable patterns in the process of urbanization in different parts of the world? Are the effects on the environment comparable? Are the causes of migration comparable and what is the downside of the urbanization process: What actually happens on the abandoned 'land'? Urbanization is overturning all traditional structures, but is it at all a process that is accessible to a general analysis that can be "brought to terms" or does it break down into various individual movements that can only be traced empirically?"
    Content: "We are delighted to present to you the outcomes of the international competition 'PLANETARY URBANISM - CRITIQUE OF THE PRESENT IN THE MEDIUM OF INFORMATION DESIGN' within this catalogue. In times of rapid urbanisation, innovative approaches and creative ideas are essential to successfully master the great social and spatial challenges. We want to congratulate the participants on their multi-faceted, intellectually challenging and aesthetically convincing contributions! Urbanisation and environmental protection are closely intertwined. The growing interdependence of global habitats makes worldwide collaborative action necessary. In this context, environmental foreign policy, as an important future field of diplomacy, is continually gaining in significance. The Federal Foreign Office has been active in international environmental protection for several years. In the course of environmental foreign policy and climate diplomacy, the Federal Foreign Office is supporting projects worldwide that sharpen the awareness for international environment and climate protection. It is our goal to actively support the transformation towards a sustainable, low-carbon way of life and economic activity. The competition 'PLANETARY URBANISM' is one of the projects supported by us. The competition puts the global urbanisation process into the context of social, ecological and economic questions, it provides an exceptional platform to develop diverse ideas and solutions for urgent questions. The increasingly significant medium of information design, also crucial in political education, helps to convey complex circumstances in an understandable way."
