Interprovincial Migration and the Stringency of Energy Policy in China by Luo, Xiaohu, Zhang, Da, Caron, Justin, Zhang, Xiliang, Karplus, Valerie

“…We estimate a migration model, integrate it into a general equilibrium model that resolves each province in China, and simulate the effect of migration on energy use and economic activity. We find that although both types of policies are affected by uncertain migration flows, energy intensity targets (energy use indexed to economic output) are more robust than absolute caps. …”

The advent of plastic and the gratuitous displacement of traditional food packaging in Singapore (1950s – 1990s) by Benedict, Claudia Marianne

“…Although some factors can be attributed to the rise of plastic packaging in Singapore, such as the nation’s water insecurity during the 1970s - 1980s and plastic packaging being deemed as more hygienic than traditional packaging, this paper illustrates that this transition was governed by political-economic factors. By incorporating ideas related to Ecological Marxism and drawing original inferences from various archival sources from the 1950s - 1990s, this paper argues that the transition from using traditional food packaging to plastic packaging was facilitated by the government’s prioritisation of economic growth over the environment, which followed a Western-centric model of development. …”

Between positionality and nudging: a rising China and Chinese voluntary associations in Southeast Asia by Liu, Hong, Ren, Na

“…By employing theoretical insights of positionality, nudging and de-territorialisation and by focusing on various strategies pursued respectively by CVAs and the state, we conclude: (i) the growing economic ties between China and Southeast Asia serve as the platform through which the reconstruction of the CVAs take place; (ii) the reconstitution of the CVAs has been significantly driven by their own initiatives to compete in a new economy, in which knowledge of and connection with a rising China as an expanding market and a culture has advantages; (iii) the states in both China and Southeast Asia have played a part in the reconfiguration of the CVAs, motivated by their respective political and economic agendas; and (iv) it is imperative to go beyond the conventional approaches in understanding CVAs (internal structure and external connections) that have dominated much of the existing literature; and we argue that it is in the interactions and intersections between the internal dynamics and external political economy that a new type of CVAs has emerged.…”
