This monograph aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the legal protection of the private equity (PE) investors in China. In an academic sense, this research mainly focuses on the agency problems in the life cycle of PE investment under the business organization law system in China. Briefly speaking, the agency problems of PE investment derive from the two-level separation of ownership and control, one of which is the principal–agent relationship between the PE investors and the fund manager, and the other is the principal–agent relationship between the PE shareholders and the management of investee companies.

It is the first research to provide an in-depth examination on the investor protection in the PE investment under the business organization law system in China.

Comprehensive resource on the fundamentals, recent research developments, and applications of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs)

Triboelectric Nanogenerators delivers a comprehensive overview of a lightweight, low cost, and high-efficiency sustainable mechanical energy harvesting technique that draws from the ambient environment and has high output and extremely flexible structural designs.

The book starts with an introduction on triboelectric nanogenerator technology, then continues to discuss the latest fundamental studies about TENGs, including models of triboelectric effect, the discharge effect, and standardized evaluation. The next part explains new output performance promotion of TENGs for power generation applications, including output promotion through multiple methods, as well as power management and effective energy storage. The last part explores new concepts inspired by the field of TENGs, including applications in sensing, actuation, data science, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and smart cities.

Written by a team of highly qualified academics with significant research experience in the field, Triboelectric Nanogenerators includes information on:

Triboelectric Nanogenerators is an essential reference for scientists, engineers, students, and professionals in related fields seeking to understand this exciting energy harvesting technique and gain all of the knowledge needed to help further progress in the field.

In diesem Buch wird untersucht, wie die Kommunistische Partei Chinas (KPCh) versucht hat, ihre Strategie zur Terrorismusbekämpfung in den Augen ihrer nationalen und internationalen Öffentlichkeit zu legitimieren. Ein wichtiges Element der KPCh-Politik in Xinjiang war der Einsatz gewöhnlicher chinesischer Bürger oder die "Massenlinie", um neue Realitäten vor Ort zu schaffen. Dieses Buch untersucht, wie die Geschichte des ideologischen Kampfes in der Volksrepublik China neue Züge angenommen hat, und bietet Einblicke in die Art und Weise, wie die KPCh ihre Legitimität in den Augen der Bevölkerung aufrechterhalten hat, selbst wenn sie eine international umstrittene Politik verfolgt, und wirft ein Licht auf die Vergangenheit und die Zukunft des Verhaltens des chinesischen Staates, ein Thema, das für China-Wissenschaftler, Wissenschaftler des Gürtels und der Straße sowie Experten für Terrorismusbekämpfung von Interesse ist.

This book examines the intricate and under-explored dynamics of ethnic politics in post-socialist states and their implications for China. While focusing on the political, cultural, and ethnic landscapes of Central Asia and their connections to China, the volume highlights how shared historical legacies and emerging geopolitical realities shape ethnic policies and state relations. Contributions from scholars based in the UK, Kazakhstan, and China provide a comprehensive analysis of key issues, including the influence of post-Soviet ethnic politics on China’s governance of its own minority regions, the challenges of nation-building, and China''s growing geopolitical presence in Central Asia.

This book brings together scholars based in, or had previously been based in a range of East and Southeast Asian countries, building on their respective primary empirical data and first-hand experience as academics and think tank researchers, in order to pluralise the current debates about governance in transitional societies. In an era of global democratic backsliding, this edited volume offers less-explored local perspectives, to balance the Western-centrism observed in area studies and the focus on former Soviet countries in transit. What is the future of governance in Asia? This book, by attempting to supply a diversity of answers, will interest political scientists, economists, and journalists.
