SRv6. It then goes on to explain SRv6 fundamentals, including SRv6
packet header design, the packet forwarding process, protocol
extensions such as Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), Border Gateway
Protocol (BGP), and Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP)
extensions, and how SRv6 supports existing traffic engineering
(TE), virtual private networks (VPN), and reliability requirements.
Next, SRv6 network deployment is introduced, covering the evolution
paths from existing networks to SRv6 networks, SRv6 network
deployment processes, involved O&M technologies, and emerging
5G and cloud services supported by SRv6. Bit Index Explicit
Replication IPv6 encapsulation (BIERv6), an SRv6 multicast
technology, is then introduced as an important supplement to SRv6
unicast technology. The book concludes with a summary of the
current status of the SRv6 industry and provides an outlook for new
SRv6-based technologies. SRv6 Network Programming: Ushering in a

This comprehensive volume presents data describing the role of
oxidative stress in anterior eye disease. The content is divided
into three logical parts: basic science of the cornea, basic
science of the lens, and clinical practices. The first two parts
include eighteen chapters that discuss topics ranging from
oxidative stress and dry eye disease, endogenous protection of
corneal cells against oxidative damage, the therapeutic potential
of corneal stem cells, etiology of cataracts and preventive
measures, corneal degeneration through oxidative stress and
cataract formation, and function and dysregulation of ion channels
and transporters in the ocular lens, among others. The concluding
part is comprised of four chapters devoted to advancements in
corneal surgery, cataract and diabetic retinopathy, the clinical
treatment of cataracts including traumatic cataracts, and cataracts
in the pediatric age group. Studies on the Cornea and Lens is an
essential addition to the library or department of physicians and
researchers who treat or research these ocular conditions,
particularly cataracts. It is also a key resource for cell
biologists studying oxidative stress. This book is an authoritative
contribution to Springer's Oxidative Stress in Applied Basic
Research and Clinical Practice series.
Understanding the young adults who came of age during the rise of
China's economic and global powerThis book by a prominent Chinese
sociologist explores how China's youth will influence the country's
future. Focusing on millennials those born between the early 1980s
and the mid-1990s the book examines the status, lifestyles,
attitudes, values, and behaviors of this key segment of the
country's population. Li Chunling's study presents a native Chinese
perspective on the increasingly diverse generation that at some
point will assume leadership of the country. Among the key
questions addressed in the book are: How do Chinese millennials
differ both from preceding generations in China and from their
counterparts around the world? How can current and future relations
between Chinese millennials and the Chinese government be assessed?
And, what are the factors or fault lines that have shaped the
intra-generational differences among China's young people? Members
of this age cohort are extraordinary, and in some respects unique,
in contemporary China. Their ascent has accompanied five historic
and far-reaching developments. These include China's rapid economic
rise, the adoption of the one-child-per-family policy, the largest
domestic rural-to-urban migration in Chinese history, the opening
of extensive educational opportunities abroad, and the arrival of
the digital era. Young Chinese citizens have developed a
comprehensive understanding of the world much faster than previous
generations; millennials see themselves not as extensions of the
past, but rather as the innovators of the country's future. Through
expansive and in-depth empirical research on Chinese millennials
and younger age cohorts (people in their late teens and early 20s),
Dr. Li's book illustrates how China's younger adults reflect the
growing diversity and persistent inequality in society. The book
also explores how their distinct characteristics and views will
shape the country's trajectory. For the outside world, developing a
better understanding of this unique generation is an urgent task,
given that China now has more influence on the global economy and
regional security than at any other point in modern history.
Ecoambiguity, Community, and Development takes stock of cultural
and environmental contexts in many different regions of the world
by exploring literature and film. Artists and scholars working in
the social ecology, environmental justice, and postcolonial arenas
have long recognized that as soon as we tug on a thread of
"ecodegradation," we generally find it linked to some form of
cultural oppression. The reverse is also often true. In the spirit
of postcolonial ecocriticism, the studies collected by Scott
Slovic, R. Swarnalatha, and Vidya Sarveswaran emphasize the
impossibility of disentangling environmental and cultural problems.
While not all the authors explicitly invoke Karen Thornber's term
"ecoambiguity" or the concepts and terminology of postcolonial
ecocriticism, their articles frequently bring to light various
ironies. For example, the fact that Ukrainian environmental
experience in the twenty-first century is defined by one of the
world's most infamous industrial disasters, the Chernobyl nuclear
accident of 1986, yet Ukrainian culture, like many throughout the
world, actually cherishes a profound, even animistic, attachment to
the wonders of nature. The repetition of this and other paradoxes
in human cultural responses to the more-than-human world reinforces
our sense of the congruities and idiosyncrasies of human culture.
Every human culture, regardless of its condition of economic and
industrial development, has produced its own version of
"environmental literature and art"-but the nuances of this work
reflect that culture's precise social and geophysical
circumstances. In various ways, these stories of community and
development from across the planet converge and diverge, as told
and explained by distinguished scholars, many of whom come from the
cultures represented in these articles.
China's momentous socioeconomic transformation is not taking place
in an intellectual vacuum: Chinese scholars and public
intellectuals are actively engaged in fervent discussions about the
country's domestic and foreign policies, demographic constraints,
and ever-growing integration into the world community. This book
focuses on China's major think tanks where policies are initiated,
and on a few prominent thinkers who influence the way in which
elites and the general public understand and deal with the various
issues confronting the country.The book examines a number of
factors contributing to the rapid rise of Chinese think tanks in
the reform era. These include the leadership's call for 'scientific
decision-making,' the need for specialized expertise in economics
and finance as China becomes an economic powerhouse, the demand for
opinion leaders in the wake of a telecommunication revolution
driven by social media, the accumulation of human and financial
capital, and the increasing utility of the 'revolving door' nature
of think tanks.It has been widely noted that think tanks and policy
advisors have played an important role in influencing the strategic
thinking of the top leadership, including the formation of ideas
such as the 'Three Represents,' 'China's peaceful rise,' 'One Belt,
One Road,' and the founding of the Asian Infrastructure Investment
Bank (AIIB). In 2014, President Xi Jinping made think tank
development a national strategy, and he claimed that 'building a
new type of think tank with Chinese characteristics is an important
and pressing mission.'Though the media outside China has often
reported on this important development, it has all but escaped
rigorous scholarly scrutiny. This book will categorize Chinese
think tanks by their various forms, such as government agencies,
university-based think tanks, private think tanks, business
research centers or consultancies, and civil society groups. It
will not only analyze the problems and challenges in China's think
tank development, but also reveal the power of ideas.

Globalization and Agriculture: Redefining Unequal Development
focuses on the development of national agriculture of nine
countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia from two different and
complementary angles. One angle is the opportunities created by
globalization for agricultural production and how the countries
have dealt with the expansion of the world, as a consequence of the
world market. The other angle is the social and economic
consequences of globalization for agricultural and rural
development. The case studies included in this book prove that the
contradictory meanings referred above are indeed representative of
different facets and features of globalization.

China's path to political reform over the last three decades has
been slow, but discourse among Chinese political scientists
continues to be vigorous and forward thinking. China's Political
Development offers a unique look into the country's evolving
political process by combining chapters authored by twelve
prominent Chinese political scientists with an extensive commentary
on each chapter by an American scholar of the Chinese political
system. Each chapter focuses on a major aspect of the development
of the Chinese Party-state, encompassing the changing relations
among its constituent parts as well as its evolving approaches
toward economic growth, civil society, grassroots elections, and
the intertwined problems of supervision and corruption. Together,
these analyses highlight the history, strategy, policies, and
implementation of governance reforms since 1978 and the authors'
recommendations for future changes. This extensive work provides
the deep background necessary to understand the sociopolitical
context and intellectual currents. behind the reform agenda
announced at the landmark Third Plenum in 2013. Shedding light
through contrasting perspectives, the book provides an overview of
the efforts China has directed toward developing good governance,
the challenges it faces, and its future direction.

The rapid pace and grand scale of China's rise have produced a
heady mixture of wonder and consternation in the West. Is China on
track to become a superpower? What would that mean for the rest of
the world? Economist Hu Angang approaches these questions through
analysis of three major dimensions of China's rise: its overall
economic and social development; advances in education, science,
and technology (including alternative energy); and the likely
complications posed by resource scarcity, environmental
degradation, and climate change. After three decades of
unprecedented economic growth, China is now home to the world's
second-largest economy. It is the world's largest exporter and its
second-largest consumer of energy (as well as number one in carbon
emissions). Extrapolating from these seismic changes, Hu forecasts
that by 2020 China will become a ""mature, responsible, and
attractive superpower"" that will contribute, alongside the
European Union, to the ""end of the unipolar era dominated by the
United States."" China in 2020 presents a native Chinese
perspective on the challenges and opportunities that Beijing will
face as its global footprint expands. Through a meticulous
examination of China's development trajectory, Hu Angang explains
how his nation -as the world's largest emerging market -will impact
global economic growth, foreign direct investment flows, energy
consumption, and carbon dioxide emissions. He proposes a
comprehensive strategic framework to guide the next stage of
China's rise, seeking to maximize the country's positive impact on
the world and minimize the negative externalities of its meteoric
development.
This book stands as a rebuke to any who would attempt to forward
simplistic interpretations of China's rise. In place of
parsimonious arguments, or an endorsement of any singular set of
images (whether pacific or confrontational), it repeatedly calls
attention to the remarkable complexity of China's emerging
international profile. More specifically, the leading Chinese and
American scholars working in the fields of Chinese foreign policy,
international political economy, and national security, who
contributed to this volume argue that while China appears to be
entering a new era in its relationship with the outside world, such
a development encompasses disparate, even contradictory, policies,
and, as a result, there is a great deal of fluidity within China's
place in world politics.
Democracy is a good thing. This is true not only for individuals or
certain officials but also for the entire nation and for all the
people of China.-Yu Keping So begins "Democracy Is a Good Thing,"
an essay of great influence that has commanded attention and
provoked discussion throughout the world. It is the touchstone of
this important volume of the same name. As one of China's foremost
political thinkers and a leading proponent of democratizing the
People's Republic, Yu Keping is a major figure not only in his
native land, but also in the international community. This book
brings together much of his most important work and makes it
readily accessible to readers in the West for the first time.
"Democracy Is a Good Thing" created a stir internationally. Perhaps
more important, however, is the heated debate it spurred within
China on the desirability of democratic reform. That important
essay appears here, along with several of Yu Keping's other
influential works on politics, culture, and civil society. His
topics include China's economic modernization, its institutional
environment, and the cultural changes that have accompanied the
nation's reforms. Democracy Is a Good Thing pulls back the curtain
to reveal ongoing discourse in Chinese political and intellectual
circles, discussions that will go a long way toward determining the
future of the world's most populous nation.
The rapid emergence and explosive growth of China's middle class
have enormous consequences for that nation's domestic future, for
the global economy, and for the whole world. In China's Emerging
Middle Class, noted scholar Cheng Li and a team of experts focus on
the sociopolitical ramifications of the birth and growth of the
Chinese middle class over the past two decades. The contributors,
from diverse disciplines and different regions, examine the
development and evolution of China's middle class from a variety of
analytical perspectives. What is its educational and occupational
makeup? Are its members united by a common identity -by a shared
political vision and worldview? How does the Chinese middle class
compare with its counterparts in other countries? The contributors
shed light on these and many other issues pertaining to the rapid
rise of the middle class in the Middle Kingdom. Contributors: Jie
Chen (Old Dominion University), Deborah Davis (Yale University),
Bruce J. Dickson (George Washington University), Geoffrey Gertz
(Brookings), Han Sang-Jin (Seoul National University), Hsin-Huang
Michael Hsiao (National Taiwan University), Homi Kharas
(Brookings), Li Chunling (Chinese Academy of Social Sciences), Jing
Lin (University of Maryland-College Park), Sida Liu (University of
Wisconsin- Madison), Lu Hanlong (Shanghai Academy of Social
Sciences), Joyce Yanyun Man (Peking University-Lincoln Center),
Ethan Michelson (Indiana University-Bloomington), Qin Chen (Hohai
University), Xiaoyan Sun (Beijing Foreign Studies University),
Luigi Tomba (Australian National University), Jianying Wang (Yale
University), and Zhou Xiaohong (Nanjing University).
While China's economic rise is being watched closely around the
world, the country's changing political landscape is intriguing, as
well. Forces unleashed by market reforms are profoundly recasting
state-society relations. Will the Middle Kingdom transition
rapidly, slowly, or not at all to political democracy? In China's
Changing Political Landscape, leading experts examine the prospects
for democracy in the world's most populous nation. China's
political transformation is unlikely to follow a linear path.
Possible scenarios include development of democracy as we
understand it; democracy with more clearly Chinese characteristics;
mounting regime instability due to political and socioeconomic
crises; and a modified authoritarianism, perhaps modeled on other
Asian examples such as Singapore. Which road China ultimately takes
will depend on the interplay of socioeconomic forces, institutional
developments, leadership succession, and demographic trends. Cheng
Li and his colleagues break down a number of issues in Chinese
domestic politics, including changing leadership dynamics; the rise
of business elites; increased demand for the rule of law; and
shifting civil-military relations. Although the contributors clash
on many issues, they do agree on one thing: the political
trajectory of this economic powerhouse will have profound
implications, not only for 1.3 billion Chinese people, but also for
the world as a whole.
Bridging Minds Across the Pacific offers new insight into
U.S.-China relations by looking at the far-reaching dynamics of
educational exchanges between these two countries. Deng Xiaoping's
milestone decision in 1978 to send a large number of Chinese
nationals to study in the United States has fostered increased
cross-Pacific dialogue among academics. In recent years a tidal
wave of "returnees" who studied abroad have moved back to China.
Cheng Li and this volume's distinguished contributors examine how
these individuals are working to shape their home country,
especially in social science curriculum development,
program-building, and research, and in public policy formation.
This book explores whether sweeping educational exchanges between
these two profoundly different countries have promoted productive
mutual understanding.
