China has been holding its annual China International Import Expo
(CIIE), starting from 2018 in Shanghai. This is a significant move
for China to actively open the Chinese market to the rest of the
world as this supports trade liberalization and economic
globalization This book systematically expounds the background and
content of CIIE, and studies the opportunities that China's
expansion of imports brings to its economy, enterprises, consumers
and to that of other countries. It elaborates on how the CIIE
facilitates countries and regions from different parts of the world
to strengthen their economic cooperation and trade, and promote
global trade and world economic growth. The book helps readers
understand China's reform and opening-up, as well as the the latest
trends and policies of the country's expansion of import.
Communication-Protocol-Based Filtering and Control of Networked
Systems is a self-contained treatment of the state of the art in
communication-protocol-based filtering and control; recent advances
in networked systems; and the potential for application in sensor
networks. This book provides new concepts, new models and new
methodologies with practical significance in control engineering
and signal processing. The book first establishes
signal-transmission models subject to different communication
protocols and then develops new filter design techniques based on
those models and preset requirements for filtering performance. The
authors then extend this work to finite-horizon H-infinity control,
ultimately bounded control and finite-horizon consensus control.
The focus throughout is on three typical communications protocols:
the round-robin, random-access and try-once-and-discard protocols,
and the systems studied are drawn from a variety of classes, among
them nonlinear systems, time-delayed and time-varying systems,
multi-agent systems and complex networks. Readers are shown the
latest techniques-recursive linear matrix inequalities, backward
recursive difference equations, stochastic analysis and mapping
methods. The unified framework for communication-protocol-based
filtering and control for different networked systems established
in the book will be of interest to academic researchers and
practicing engineers working with communications and other
signal-processing systems. Senior undergraduate and graduate
students looking to increase their knowledge of current methods in
control and signal processing of networked systems will also find
this book valuable.
Silk Road was once the most important economic-cultural tie
connecting the Eurasian countries before the rise of the West. In
September 2013, Chinese President Xi Jinping put forward the
initiative to jointly build the Silk Road Economic Belt and
21st-Century Maritime Silk Road, which is abbreviated as the Belt
and Road Initiative (BRI). This book analyzes the BRI through the
approach of political economy and establishes the analytic
framework of BRI from historical and comparative perspectives. It
clearly displays the strategic considerations, future vision,
constructing framework, governmental actions, latest achievements,
multiple opportunities and potential risks of BRI.As China's grand
national development strategy and international cooperation
initiative, the BRI will largely shape China's domestic and foreign
policies in the Xi Jinping era. The book is the first academic
monograph on the BRI and it enables readers to comprehensively
understand this initiative and its implications to China, Eurasia
and the world.
Asia has long been a testing ground for efforts to augment
financial and social security by developing assets that may support
individuals and households and contribute to long-term social
development. Rapid growth in the number and breadth of asset-based
social policies has prompted Asian scholars, practitioners, and
policymakers to share lessons from current efforts and chart future
directions. This book offers a unique collection of macro- and
micro-level analyses on asset-based social development and compares
and contrasts national social policies across the Asia Pacific
region. Many asset-building policies and programmes have been
undertaken in Asia, and innovative proposals continue to emerge.
The contributions in this book present and assess this broad, often
nuanced, and evolving landscape, and offer an insightful analysis
of the evolution of asset-building policies, innovative programmes
in rural populations, asset-based interventions to facilitate the
development and well-being of children, as well as case studies on
new, ground-breaking asset-building projects. Asset-Building
Policies and Innovation in Asia will be an invaluable resource for
students and scholars of Asian social policy, social welfare,
social development and social work.

Inclusive Child Development Accounts showcases the global context
of emerging asset-building policies and programmes around Child
Development Accounts. Child Development Accounts (CDAs) are
subsidized accounts that enable families to accumulate assets to
invest in children's development and life goals, such as
postsecondary education, homeownership, business development, and
retirement security. The vision for CDAs is to be universal
(meaning everyone participates), progressive (meaning greater
subsidies for the poor), and lifelong (meaning from the cradle to
the grave). Since 1991, schools, communities, states, provinces,
and entire countries have launched various CDA programs and
policies. In the first part of the volume, scholars highlight the
core feature of "inclusiveness" of CDAs in Singapore, Israel, and
the United States. In the second part, scholars report on CDA
policies and projects in Taiwan, Uganda, Korea, and mainland China.
Showing how asset building can be effective in diverse cultural and
social contexts, and that all these contexts emphasize the
investing in children early in life and empowering of them to
achieve their potential as productive citizens, Inclusive Child
Development Accounts will be of great interest to scholars of
social work, policy, investment, and development, as well as
financial inclusivity. It originally published as a special issue
of the Asia Pacific Journal of Social Work and Development.
