The EU is a multi-state grouping of economically developed democratic countries, while China is a unitary sovereign state and a developing economy with a strong government bureaucracy. Our hypothesis is that given their diverse political systems, the EU and China would develop different kinds of systems for the governance of adaptation to climate change. We test this hypothesis through a comparative analysis of policy documents from the two study areas, in which we examine framework policies, programmatic actions and specific actions that have been adopted to date in order to address climate change, with a specific focus on the water sector. We find that climate change adaptation began to be addressed through formal policy on a similar timeline in the two regions. The EU and China are also similar in that they use framework laws and existing sectoral policy, such as for the water sector. We find that the EU has primarily relied on integration of climate change adaptation concerns through legal instruments which set a framework for implementation of adaptation policy. In China, specific actions to be incorporated in socio-economic development plans under the existing legislation on adaptation have been the main mode for integrating adaptation into sectoral actions, though the future trend may be to develop more regulations.展开更多

The establishment of tribal councils provides a communicative forum for tribal leaders, village, and the association of community development to make decisions of common tribal affairs. When disasters happen, the internal tribal response strategies and external assistance mechanisms might cooperate through either traditional or modern administrative systems. The research focused on how these organizations, while in interim housing, influenced the reconstruction and rehabilitation after disasters. The research＇s findings suggested that tribal councils, a pre-existing mechanism, seemed to be an appropriate forum for negotiation and decision-making for tribal affairs.展开更多

It aims at comparing and contrasting the both （CSR and RD） thoughts, and searches an initiative to expand the sustainable development achievement. Using secondary data from libraries studies, the progress of each thought will be identified to find out its advantages and weaknesses. Then, the result showed that the timeline perspectives come up with the conjunction idea of sustainability. In order to be more sustainable in development, then, the idea of CSR--as a tool for gaining sustainability in RD--should be transformed into ＂social business＂ approach. Here, there is a change in the time of taking decision about profit from ＂the last to the first＂. The paper contains four sub-topics： （1） definition and progress of CSR; （2） change in RD themes; （3） CSR, RD and social business; and （4） transformation of CSR to social business. The process of transformation from CSR to social business should include following agenda： （1） tailoring public-private partnerships to the local context; （2） providing resources, horizon and commitment; and （3） encouraging further innovation. This new position requires a shift in corporate law as well as establishing good corporate governance.展开更多

Justice is a crucial factor in effective linkages between social governance and the path to the rule of law, and the attainment of good social governance through justice is a basic marker of a rule of law society. Using the rational choice framework to examine representative individual cases, we can see that theories of participatory governance, self-governance and polycentric governance provide an approach to the interpretation of extreme social contradictions and the reduction of social conflicts, thus constituting a theoretical support and guiding direction for the reform of the judicial system. This will enable us to create a dispute resolution mechanism consistent with the concept of societal governance and judicial principles.展开更多

In the 90 years since its founding the CPC has always persevered in combining Marxism with Chinese realities, constantly pushed forward theoretical innovations in the process of practical innovations and led the Chinese people in winning the great victory of socialism in China. These achievements represent a victory for the Chinese people in their historical choice, a victory for the CPC and a victory for Marxism in China. History has proved that only Marxism can save China and that the Sinicization of Marxism can be achieved only through constant theoretical innovations in this regard and, in the final analysis, through the Party＇s upholding of the ideological line of seeking truth from facts.展开更多
