The coal industry has been and continues to be of critical
importance for China's economic modernization. With its huge labour
force, country-wide infrastructure, and vital strategic importance
for the economy, the industry presents special problems for
reformers, and epitomises the problems of reform in the state
industrial sector as a whole. This book examines the changes in the
structure and operation of the Chinese coal industry from the
mid-19th century to the present, concentrating on the years of
reform. Although the focus is on the economics of the industry, the
book also provides many insights into China's socio-political
development.

This Brief identifies various aspects of energy challenges faced by
the Chinese central/local governments, and also provides an
opportunity to study how best to achieve green growth and a
low-carbon transition in a developing country like China. The
progress of China's carbon mitigation policies also has significant
impacts on the on-going international climate change negotiations.
Therefore, both policymakers and decision makers in China and other
countries can benefit from studying the challenges and
opportunities in China's energy development.

As East and Southeast Asia continue to modernize and urbanize,
their demand for energy will soar. Besides seeking to import fossil
fuels from the Middle East, Africa, the Caspian Region, Russia,
Latin America, Australia, etc., it is imperative for these Asian
countries to cooperate in substantially raising the efficiency with
which energy is consumed. This book offers a comprehensive
examination of East and Southeast Asia's energy conservation
policies. It begins with a summary of the current and projected
energy supply and demand patterns in the region, and a discussion
about the need and basis for cooperation in energy conservation.
This is followed by an examination of the energy conservation
policies and progress to date in seven ASEAN countries and in
China, Japan and Korea.
