Policy Review of China's Education collects important researches of
China's education policies mainly conducted by the academics at
East China Normal University (ECNU) in recent years. The book
covers various aspects of educational policy studies in China
including Regulatory Policies on Private Supplementary Tutoring in
China, Accelerated Move for AI Education in China, New Higher
Education Policy, non-governmental education, etc. It showcases the
significant contributions to scholarship in education policies
studies in China.This book is the eighth volume of the WSPC-ECNU
Series on China. This series is jointly launched by World
Scientific Publishing, the most reputable English academic
publisher in Asia, and ECNU, a top University in China with a long
history of exchanges with the international academic community.
The damaging effects of cyberattacks to an industry like the
Cooperative Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM) can be
tremendous. From the least important to the worst ones, one can
mention for example the damage in the reputation of vehicle
manufacturers, the increased denial of customers to adopt CCAM, the
loss of working hours (having direct impact on the European GDP),
material damages, increased environmental pollution due e.g., to
traffic jams or malicious modifications in sensors' firmware, and
ultimately, the great danger for human lives, either they are
drivers, passengers or pedestrians. Connected vehicles will soon
become a reality on our roads, bringing along new services and
capabilities, but also technical challenges and security threats.
To overcome these risks, the CARAMEL project has developed several
anti-hacking solutions for the new generation of vehicles. CARAMEL
(Artificial Intelligence-based Cybersecurity for Connected and
Automated Vehicles), a research project co-funded by the European
Union under the Horizon 2020 framework programme, is a project
consortium with 15 organizations from 8 European countries together
with 3 Korean partners. The project applies a proactive approach
based on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques to
detect and prevent potential cybersecurity threats to autonomous
and connected vehicles. This approach has been addressed based on
four fundamental pillars, namely: Autonomous Mobility, Connected
Mobility, Electromobility, and Remote Control Vehicle. This book
presents theory and results from each of these technical
directions.
For decades, large dam projects have been undertaken by both
nations and international agencies with the aim of doing good:
preventing floods, bringing electricity to rural populations,
producing revenues for poor countries, and more. But time after
time, the social, economic, and environmental costs have outweighed
the benefits of the dams, sometimes to a disastrous degree. In this
volume, a diverse group of experts-involved for years with the Nam
Theun 2 dam in Laos-issue an urgent call for critical reassessment
of the approach to, and rationale for, these kinds of large
infrastructure projects in developing countries. In the 2000s, as
the World Bank was reeling from revelations of past hydropower
failures, it nonetheless promoted the enormous Nam Theun 2 project.
NT2, the Bank believed, offered a new, wiser model of dam
development that would alleviate poverty, protect the environment,
engage locally affected people in a transparent fashion, and
stimulate political transformation. This was a tall order. For the
first time, this book shows in detail why, despite assertions of
success from the World Bank and other agencies involved in the
project, the dam's true story has been one of substantial loss for
affected villagers and the regional environment. Nam Theun 2 is an
important case study that illustrates much broader problems of
global development policy.

The Korean Economy examines how Korea's inward FDI-led
globalization, particularly since the financial crisis of 1997, has
been experienced, understood, managed and often strongly resisted
in various economic, social and cultural domains. It is an in-depth
analysis combining perspectives from politics and economics,
examining a number of grievances as seen through the eyes of actual
foreign investors operating in Korea. The authors argue that it is
precisely these obstacles that need to be addressed if Korea is to
live up to its full potential in terms of becoming a truly
attractive magnet for FDI and comprehensively integrating into the
global economy. The authors make a convincing case that the
challenges Korea currently faces are by no means limited to
institutional and policy reforms, but rather are entrenched in an
anti-globalization mindset shared by all sectors of society. This
critical examination of the Korean government's inward FDI policies
includes the experiences of around 50 CEOs of operating MNCs in
Korea including various chambers of commerce and law firms. It also
examines both perceptions and realities of the Korean market from
in-depth interviews with over 50 foreign CEOs of MNCs operating in
Korea, as well as a critical examination of Korea's current efforts
to become a Northeast Asian business centre. This book will appeal
to academics and postgraduate students of Asian studies and
international business, the foreign business community (including
existing and potential foreign investors to the Korean market) as
well as government and policy makers.
