New Humanism and Global Governance is the first in this subject to
study how a variety of factors related to globalization will shape
the future of the human community. It discusses the major
challenges to today's world order and governance, as well as
international experience in responding to these challenges. It
covers a wide range of issues including unequal distribution of
wealth, the widening income inequality gap, contradiction between
economic development and environmental protection, the
middle-income trap, de-globalization, democratic crisis,
anti-immigration sentiments, nationalism, and radical extremism. It
addresses these issues by emphasizing policy implications for
governance.The chapters are selected papers from two international
conferences jointly held by the Institute of Public Policy(IPP) at
the South China University of Technology and UNESCO. Contributors
from China, Europe and the US present their questions,
observations, and analyses in a narrative and descriptive style
which appeal to a wide range of audience.
Due to its abilities to compensate disturbances and uncertainties,
disturbance observer based control (DOBC) is regarded as one of the
most promising approaches for disturbance-attenuation. One of the
first books on DOBC, Disturbance Observer Based Control: Methods
and Applications presents novel theory results as well as best
practices for applications in motion and process control that have
already benefited numerous organizations. Supplying authoritative
guidance in the areas of disturbance estimation and compensation
for practical engineering systems, the book includes coverage of
theoretic methods and practical applications of disturbance
estimation and compensation for control systems through a DOBC
approach. It considers applications in flight control systems,
motion control systems, and process control systems. Supplies an
authoritative overview of disturbance observer based control
approaches Reports on recent developments in disturbance estimation
techniques Considers matched and mismatched disturbance/uncertainty
attenuation for DOBC Illustrates applications of the methods
covered with detailed engineering case studies Filled with valuable
insights gathered over decades of research by the authors, this
book provides time- and stress-saving guidance for anyone
interested in the theory and method research of DOBC. Using typical
engineering examples, the text provides readers with an
understanding of recent developments in DOBC as well as the tools
required to make the most of this promising approach to
disturbance-attenuation.
Social policy reforms driven by profound social changes have been a
popular and pressing topic worldwide in recent years in both policy
and academic circles. In this book, prominent social policy
scholars from Europe, North America, and Asia discuss the history
of social policies, compare different social development models,
and analyze the challenges facing these economies' social policy
reforms. The book provides comprehensive and comparative
perspectives and updated data on social development and social
policy reforms in the world's major economies, and particularly, in
mainland China.
This book examines how the Chinese state responds to the
increasingly diverse civil society and maintains regime stability
in a changing society. In recent years, the Chinese leadership has
demonstrated great capability of adapting and developing
sophisticated mechanisms of social control. The chapters in this
book cover a wide range of these mechanisms, including co-opting
social forces, managing population and migration, as well as
controlling the media, trade unions, the internet, non-governmental
organisations, and the cultural industries. The authors also
discuss challenges the government is about to face and possible
adjustments.
This book attempts to provide an overview of social and political
changes in Chinese society since the global financial crisis. Rapid
economic development has restructured the setup of society and
empowered or weakened certain social players. The chapters in this
book provide an updated account of a wide range of social changes,
including the rise of the middle class and private entrepreneurs,
the declining social status of the working class, as well as the
resurgence of non-governmental organisations and the growing
political mobilisation on the internet. The authors also examine
the implications of those changes for state-society relations,
governance, democratic prospects, and potentially for the stability
of the current political regime.

This book provides a comprehensive review of China's experience in
reform and opening up from political, social, and economic
perspectives. It attempts to engage existing scholarly debates in
three areas - first, how the party-state has evolved in the past
four decades and whether it remains a Leninist system or has
departed from this system; second, how public attitudes, values and
behavior have been intertwined with institutional change, and how
the state is expanding its welfare coverage to enhance regime
legitimacy. Second, how China has attempted to explore new engines
for its growth, with consideration towards environmental protection
and technological progress.Chapters in this book are selected from
three years of conference presentations co-organized by the
Institute of Public Policy (IPP) at the South China University of
Technology and UNESCO. Since 2014, IPP and UNESCO have co-hosted a
series of annual international conferences and invited leading
scholars from China, Europe, and the US to discuss the major
challenges to China and the world.
This book discusses lessons and challenges of metropolitan circles
development and urbanization in Asia, Europe, North America, Latin
America and Africa. The book examines the effects of local
governance systems, central-local relations, and administrative
borders on metropolitan area development. It surveys economic,
social and environmental issues, with an emphasis on how
interconnectivity, circular economy, and climate issues should be
integrated into megaregion development planning.The chapters are
selected papers from the international conference on metropolitan
circles development and urbanization jointly held by the Institute
of Public Policy (IPP) at the South China University of Technology
and UNESCO in 2018. Contributors from the US, the UK, Japan,
France, Singapore, Indonesia, Mexico, Tanzania present their
questions, observations, and analyses in a narrative and
descriptive style which appeal to a wide range of audience.
