Children are precious in China especially as its population ages
rapidly. The unprecedented fast urbanization and massive internal
migration have profoundly changed almost every aspect of society.
They have impacted the livelihood of children of migrants most.
Because of the hukou system and related policies, China's internal
migrants face major obstacles to assimilate into cities. But more
than that, as this book shows, these policies have also torn
families apart on a scale unseen heretofore. More than 100 million
children grow up in unstable families and the great majority have
suffered from prolonged separation from their parents in the
migratory upheaval. This book provides an updated analysis of this
mega and painful process unfolding at various geographical scales.
The chapters revolve around the central notion of family
togetherness, or the lack thereof. The book measures, dissects, and
analyses the impacts of migration on children and recommends
policies to address major problems from a variety of disciplinary
perspectives employing different methodologies. The problems faced
by the children of migrants remain enormous, and it is a looming
huge crisis in the making. If unaddressed, those problems can
damage a whole generation with serious consequences. The chapters
in this book were first published in Eurasian Geography and
Economics.

This volume examines how urban stakeholders in China - particularly
city governments and social actors - tackle China's urban
environmental crisis. The volume's case studies speak to important
interdisciplinary themes such as new tools and instruments of urban
green governance, climate change and urban carbon consumption,
green justice, digital governance, public participation, social
media, social movements, and popular protest. It lays out a unique
theoretical framework for examining and discussing urban green
governance. The case studies are based on extensive fieldwork that
examines governance failures, challenges, and innovations from
across China, including the largest cities. They show that numerous
policies, experiments, and reforms have been put in place in China
- mostly on a pragmatic basis, but also as a result of both
strategic policy design, civil participation, and protest. The book
highlights how China's urban governments bring together diverse
programmatic building blocks and instruments, from China and
elsewhere. Written by experts and researchers from different
disciplines at leading universities in China and the Nordic
countries in Europe, this volume will be of interest to researchers
and students who are interested in Chinese politics, especially
urban politics, governance issues, and social movements. Both
students and teachers will find the theoretical perspectives and
case studies useful in their coursework.The unique green governance
perspective makes this a work that is empirically and theoretically
interesting for those working with urban political and
environmental studies and urbanization worldwide.

This volume consists of papers presented at the 2014 International
Symposium on Systems and Computer Technology (ISSCT 2014, Shanghai,
China, 15-17 November 2014). The demand for systems and informatics
have been constantly increasing, as more and more computer
applications have been built. Great efforts have been made to
improve the state of the art in the technologies for computer-based
applications. ISSCT 2014 aimed to advance these technologies to a
new level and to encourage development of computer-based
applications to be more reliable and efficient. The submissions,
from all parts of the world, cover a variety of areas, including
Control and Automation Systems, Power and Energy Systems,
Intelligent Systems, Computer Systems and Applications,
Communications and Networking, Image, Video, and Signal Processing,
Data Engineering and Data Mining, and Software Engineering.
