Based on theories of economics, sociology, and education, the book
aims to explore the role of government and the market in China's
higher education investment. The authors comprehensively overview
the characteristics of China's higher education investment system,
including government funding, tuition fees, and social donations.
In particular, an econometric model has been established to
estimate the impact of university investment on the scale of
regional higher education and average university student
expenditure. Besides, they also make an international comparative
analysis of the current changing trend of higher education
investment structure and put forward countermeasures and
suggestions to improve the government's financial and social
investment in higher education. Professional scholars and
postgraduate students studying Chinese higher education, the
economics of education and education finance will find this book
helpful and inspiring.
The recent rise in reported public security issues in China is one
of the most repeated concerns amongst the Chinese authorities.
During the past 30 years of reform in China, stability maintenance
as a governance strategy has in fact laid a solid foundation for
the overall development and growth of the nation. However, it
remains to be seen whether this approach can sustain economic
growth as well as political stability in the near future. This book
examines this policy of stability maintenance, as adopted by the
Chinese government, in different social circumstances. Using a
variety of examples, including hospital disputes, incidents of
environmental pollution, food safety issues and disaster
settlements, it takes a multi-disciplinary approach, using
empirical data to assess the true picture of contentious politics
in China. Although stability maintenance has played a major role in
confronting many of the serious challenges posed to China's public
security, ultimately, the book concludes that as a governance
strategy it can only be short-term and will surely be replaced, due
to its high costs. Using case studies from across China, this book
will be of interest to students and scholars of Chinese Studies,
Political Science and Sociology. It will also appeal to journalists
and policy analysts with an interest in Chinese politics and
society.

In the context of dramatically changing contemporary patterns of
mate selection in China, Mate Selection in China focuses upon both
the causes and consequences the societal changes which have
resulted in a considerable shift in the ways in which young adults
go about finding a spouse. Tracking a period of change, from a long
history of patriarchal families and arranged marriages, into an
environment wherein individuals are relatively free to choose their
intimate partners, Blair, Madison and Fang demonstrate and analyse
how recent shifts in divorce, cohabitation, and pre-marital sex
have altered young adults' perceptions of marriage. Delving into
demographic factors, such as the skewed sex ratio among young
adults which have resulted in an overabundance of young males,
cultural factors, such as increasingly individualistic forms of
dating, and social and economic change which has resulted an
increasingly materialistic middle-class, this book highlights that
while traditional influence of parents in the selection of partners
for their children has been overtaken, mate selection choices are
not entirely made by the individuals themselves. Providing a
comprehensive examination of mate selection within an ever-changing
context, this book is a fascinating read for scholars interested in
the impact of culture of family and marriage.
This book provides a broad introduction to all major aspects of
quantum dot properties including fluorescence, electrochemical,
photochemical and electroluminescence. Such properties have been
produced for applications in biosensing, cell tracking, in vivo
animal imaging and so on. It focuses on their special applications
in DNA biosensing and provides readers with detailed information on
the preparation and functionalization of quantum dots and the
fabrication of DNA biosensors, using examples to show how these
properties can be used in DNA biosensor design and the advantages
of quantum dots in DNA biosensing. Further new emerging quantum
dots such as metal nanoclusters and graphene dots and their
applications in DNA biosensing have also been included.
