This book investigates the form and features of governance and the
factors that shape governance in practice in private universities
in China. Building on an exploration of the growth of private
universities in China after the Communist Party took over the
power, the study examines the specific context in China, including
the role of the Communist Party, and integrates with shareholders
and senior managers to achieve its governance role. It shows that
two distinct forms of institutional governance have developed,
namely the supervision form and the managerial form. While external
policies provide an impetus for change for each university, how key
actors in institutional governance understand these policies have
significant effect on how the policies are implemented. This can
result in change that can be viewed as either symbolic alteration
or as operational change. The internal factors that act to shape
institutional governance mainly relate to the different
developmental stages of the private university, the characteristics
of shareholders and senior managers, and the various ways the
universities respond to the external policy.
Advance in barley sciences presents the latest developments in
barley sciences. It collects 39 papers submitted to the 11th
International Barley Genetics Symposium, and covers all
presentation sessions of the conference, i.e., barley development
and economy, utilization of germplasm, genetic resources and
genetic stocks, end-uses, biotic stress tolerance, abiotic
stresses, new and renewed breeding methodology, barley physiology,
breeding success stories, barley genomics and all other '-omics.'
Th e information will be useful for barley breeders, brewers,
biochemists, molecular geneticists and biotechnologists. Th is book
may also serve as reference text for students and scientists
engaged in barley research. Dr. Guoping Zhang is a barley breeder
and crop physiologist at the Department of Agronomy, Zhejiang
University, China. Dr. Chengdao Li is a senior molecular geneticist
and barley breeder at the Department of Agriculture and Food,
Western Australia, Australia. He is also an adjunct professor at
Murdoch University of Australia and Zhejiang University. Dr. Xu
Liu, a member of the China Academy of Engineering, is a plant
resources researcher at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural
Sciences.
Liu and Cowan offer a unique in-depth study of educational
development and social transformation in rural China. It
foregrounds identifiable settings and personalities, engaging
readers with the voices and experiences of people who are involved
with the education system. This book explores the link between
educational transformation and local economic regeneration. The
research covers important phases of the educational development
programme outlined by the County's tow five-year education plans.
It records a wide range of perspectives on Chinese rural education
from stakeholders engaged with the education service. It reveals
the contingent and different factors that lie behind the complex
pattern of the educational development process. This research also
illustrates how education policy is administered and driven forward
through the local officers working closely with school leaders.
This intriguing look at rural Chinese educational development will
interest academics and students specializing in the study of
education and international development, Chinese education and

This book offers an intimate and personal look at what China's
poverty alleviation has meant for individuals. The dramatic
progress in reducing poverty in China over the past three decades
is well known. According to the World Bank, more than 500 million
people were lifted out of extreme poverty as China's poverty rate
fell from 88 percent in 1981 to 6.5 percent in 2012. Behind this
statistic are the millions of families in rural China who have
moved from extreme poverty to a more comfortable way of life in
modern China. This is the story of four generations of one such
family. Grandma Zhen and her eight children have faced the hardship
of war, the great famine of 1958-1960, the Cultural Revolution of
1967-1977 and Opening-up and Reform. They have had to adjust to a
rapidly changing culture that has affected all aspects of their
lives, including marriage, the one-child policy, and education.
Through incredible endurance and hard work, they have not only
survived, but thrived. This book will be of value to
anthropologists, developmental economists, sinophiles, and more.
