Dong X: On Translation of Laws and
Regulations in China

On Translation of Laws and Regulations in China

A National Governance Perspective

This book provides an exploration of China’s evolving role in global governance and sustainable development, offering unique insights from over thirty leading scholars from most leading universities in China and beyond.&nbsp;Through a multidisciplinary lens, the volume delves into key themes such as global financial systems, climate governance, transnational environmental policies, and China’s contributions to global infrastructure, health, and AI governance. It analyzes theoretical frameworks—such as "harmonious governance" and "a community with a shared future for mankind"—while assessing practical initiatives like the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and carbon trading schemes. The book also highlights intersections between state governance, migration, education, and gender equity, demonstrating how local and global governance interact in an increasingly interconnected world towards sustainable development goals.&nbsp; By bridging global perspectives from the North and South, this book addresses a crucial gap in understanding how the Global South, particularly China, contributes, influences and innovates global governance regimes. It is essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in global governance, sustainable development, and public administration who seek a deeper understanding of China’s leadership and the future of equitable global governance.Prof. Jin Sun

This book unveils the details of the processes and deliberations that culminated in the consensual global commitment to decisively confront racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and other forms of intolerance. It settles the pre-conceived and prejudicial controversies raised against the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action. High level delegates and leaders of structures of the conference address the development of the vision of nations for racial justice, building the structures of dialogue towards and during the third world conference against racism, choosing the leadership of the conference, consensus building especially on the so-called difficult issues, the role of championing states such as South Africa (host and then symbol of victory against racism) and Brazil (home to the largest population of people of African heritage outside Africa), and the legacy of the conference and outcome document. It reminds humanity of the merits and nobility of its Durban resolve, based on undertakings in Geneva, Strasbourg, Santiago de Chile, Dakar, and Teheran, under the auspices of the United Nations, and the significance of standing by it.

Untold Reflections from the World Conference Against Racism

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the concept of "res judicata" (thing judged) in the context of both common law and civil law systems, with a particular focus on the Brazilian Civil Procedure Code. It delves into the historical evolution, theoretical foundations, and practical implications of issue preclusion, or the prohibition of relitigating decided issues. The work also examines the development of issue preclusion in common law, especially in the United States, discussing key concepts like estoppel, collateral estoppel, and the breakdown of mutuality. Landmark cases such as Blonder-Tongue and Parklane are analyzed to illustrate the evolution and application of these principles. It contrasts the common law approach with the civil law tradition, particularly the Italian legal system, critiquing the influence of Roman law and the doctrines of prominent jurists like Chiovenda, highlighting the limitations and values underlying the restriction of res judicata to the judgment of the claim. The author explains the extension of res judicata to issues, including the benefits for third parties, discussing the requirements for issue preclusion, the relationship between issue preclusion and the main claim, and the impact of issue preclusion on arbitration and mandatory precedentes, making this book an essential resource for legal scholars, practitioners, and students interested in understanding the complexities of res judicata across different legal systems and its critical role in ensuring legal certainty, coherence, and efficiency in judicial proceedings.

The Arctic that emerged over the past forty years became one of the most innovative policy environments in the world. The region developed impressive systems for intra-regional cooperation, responded to the challenges of rapid environmental change, empowered and engaged with Indigenous peoples, and dealt with the multiple challenges of natural resource development. The second edition of The Palgrave Handbook on Arctic Policy and Politics draws on scholars from many countries and academic disciplines to focus on the central theme of Arctic policy innovation and political action. The portrait that emerges from these chapters is of a complex, fluid policy environment, shaped by internal, national and global dynamics and by a wide range of political, legal, economic, and social transitions. In this second edition, all chapters have been revised, updating the volume with the latest research and analysis especially on the changing geo-political situation since the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the election of Donald Trump. New chapters explore post-secondary education and the future of work in the Circumpolar North.

The Arctic is a complex political place and is on the verge of becoming even more so due to Russian militarism, increasing Chinese engagement and the cascading effects of rapid climate change. Effective, proactive and forward-looking policy innovation will be required if the Far North is to address its challenges and capitalize on its opportunities. The Arctic has become, ironically, "hot" in political terms, presenting escalating challenges for Arctic peoples and nations seeking to respond to political agendas that increasingly emerge from outside the region.

Springer-Lehrbuch

Das nunmehr in zweiter Auflage vorliegende Buch gibt einen umfassenden Überblick über die zentralen Bereiche der deutschen Verfassungsgeschichte des gesamten 19. und des beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts. Hierbei werden noch ausführlicher als in der ersten Auflage die staats- wie völkerrechtlichen Entwicklungen des Rheinbundes, des Deutschen Bundes, des Norddeutschen Bundes, des Kaiserreichs und Weimars ebenso beleuchtet und in ihrer verfassungshistorischen Bedeutung eingeordnet wie diejenigen in den jeweils maßgeblichen deutschen Einzelstaaten. Dieses gegenüber der ersten Auflage inhaltlich teilweise umgestaltete und ergänzte Werk wendet sich sowohl an Studierende der Rechts-, Geschichts- und Politikwissenschaften als auch an sonstige interessierte Leser. Es eignet sich nicht zuletzt für „Einsteiger“ in die genannten Disziplinen, für die hinreichende Kenntnisse des studienbezogenen Pflichtstoffs über die Entstehung und Entwicklung des zeitgenössischen deutschen Verfassungsrechts unabdingbar sind.

Deutsche Verfassungsgeschichte

This book uses patent documents to examine how corporations rise, expand, and reinvent themselves, leveraging the scope of patent protection to assess the value of new products. Rather than merely&nbsp;recounting company histories or chronicling legal battles, the author delves into patent documents—often overlooked yet deeply revealing sources—to capture the essence of how innovation truly unfolds and redefines entire industries.
What sets this work apart is its method of viewing patents not just as legal tools but as windows into the real-world evolution of businesses. Through a close reading of patent literature, the author demonstrates how a company’s inventive activity, aimed at serving the broader public interest, can foster both technological transitions and meaningful market expansion. By examining critical patent events and litigation records, this study uncovers hidden narratives often missed by traditional approaches.
Organized into four thematic sections—Rise and Fall, Disruption and Revolution, Core and Frontiers, and Governance and Administration —this book spotlights pivotal moments in the histories of renowned corporations such as IBM, Kodak, Sony, Philips, Apple, Bosch, Xerox, Disney, and HP. By examining both successes and failures, the author demonstrates how innovation driven by genuine, evolving public needs can sustain growth, whereas short-sighted strategies centered on immediate patent gains often undermine long-term success.
Written for intellectual property professionals, technology managers, business executives, and researchers interested in corporate strategy, the analysis is accessible and thought-provoking. The narrative balances detailed case studies with broader insights into how enterprises navigate technological upheavals.
Three core strengths define this volume. First, its pioneering use of patent documents as a historical lens provides fresh evidence for understanding corporate dynamics. Second, it links IP ideas to real-world practice, showing how innovations that balance advanced technology with public needs can reshape markets. Finally, it presents a value-driven view for patent professionals, encouraging them to support genuine innovation that meets current public demand. Combining archival research with straightforward analysis, this work will appeal to anyone eager to understand—or influence—the future of technological progress.

Governing Innovation: A Global History of Patent-Driven Technological Progress

Zeitgeschichte

Leiharbeit wird gemeinhin mit den »neoliberalen« Arbeitsmarktreformen der jüngsten Vergangenheit assoziiert. Anna Elisabeth Keim kann in dieser Studie dagegen erstmals empirisch fundiert zeigen, dass diese Arbeitsform in Deutschland eine deutlich längere Geschichte hat. Ausgehend von arbeitsrechtlichen Debatten in der Weimarer Republik und im Nationalsozialismus, verfolgt sie die Spur erster Erscheinungsformen der Leiharbeit bis in die frühe Bundesrepublik. Ihre Untersuchung fokussiert auf die Phase des westdeutschen Nachkriegsbooms, in dem Leiharbeitsverhältnisse – trotz zeitweiligen Verbots – in Grauzonen des Arbeitsmarkts praktiziert und gesellschaftlich problematisiert wurden. Sie weist zudem nach, wie sich in der Bundesrepublik um 1960 eine Branche für »Zeit-Arbeit« herauszubilden begann und wie die Akteurinnen und Akteure am Ende des Nachkriegsbooms die Verankerung der Leiharbeit als valides Arbeitsmarktsegment erreichten.

This book is a monograph by Professor Cui Jianyuan on the article by article interpretation and evaluation of the real right provisions of the Chinese civil code, which is divided into two volumes. The interpretation of each article includes: the main purpose of this article, pointing out the core meaning of the law in one sentence; Relevant provisions to clarify the application conflict of repealed laws and relevant judicial interpretations; Understanding and application not only provide a value guidance from the perspective of theory, but also guide the application of law in specific cases from the perspective of practice, but also make a forward-looking discussion on the possible difficult problems in practice.

Political Corruption and Governance

This open access book examines the intricate connection between family and corruption within both the realms of business and government. While corruption is conventionally characterized as a socially harmful and ethically wrong phenomenon, and family is typically viewed as fundamental to social cohesion, this book argues that these constructs frequently intersect in real-life situations. Kinship ties often function not solely as sources of emotional solidarity but also as channels facilitating illicit transactions and resource misappropriation. From minor nepotism to large-scale state capture, family relationships frequently shape how corruption is organized, justified, and sustained. Drawing on interdisciplinary theories and case material, this book develops a much-needed theory of family corruption. By challenging the conventional dichotomy that segregates family from formal institutions, the analysis reveals how deeply family relations are embedded in everyday social orders, superseding universalistic norms and overriding rational bureaucratic considerations.

Risk, Governance and Society

This book examines fair citizen participation as a key element of effective policy support. Over the past two decades, many countries have embraced more reflective and inclusive governance in environmental policymaking. 


This book demonstrates how democratic and deliberative approaches yield better policy outcomes than technocratic methods that only superficially engage the public. Reflective governance highlights the importance of deliberative democracy, offering fair and open discourse opportunities for all stakeholders. Throughout the chapters, some of the most renowned authors in the field present the principal mechanisms for public engagement in deliberative decision-making.


By exploring innovative formats like stakeholder round tables and citizen assemblies, this book provides practical guidance on their unique merits and limitations. It addresses scholars, practitioners, and representatives of administrations, public and private institutions, and NGOs interested in a better understanding of the selection and design of the most effective formats for competent and fair policymaking, ensuring each format meets its full potential.
