    This project is funded by the European Union November 2020 Culture in ruins The illegal trade in cultural property Case study: Algeria and Tunisia Julia Stanyard and Rim Dhaouadi Summary This case study forms part of a set of publications on the illegal trade in cultural property across North and West Africa, made up of a research paper and three case studies (on Mali, Nigeria and North Africa). This study is focused on Algeria and Tunisia, which share the same forms of material culture but very different antiquity markets. Attention is given to the development of online markets which have been identified as a key threat to this region’s heritage. Key findings • The large-scale extraction of cultural objects in both countries has its roots in the period of French colonial rule. • During the civil war in Algeria in the 1990s, trafficking in cultural heritage was allegedly linked to insurgent anti-government groups among others. • In Tunisia, the presidential family and the political elite reportedly dominated the country’s trade in archaeological objects and controlled the illegal markets. • The modern-day trade in North African cultural property is an interlinked regional criminal economy in which objects are smuggled between Tunisia and Algeria as well as internationally. • State officials and representatives of cultural institutions are implicated in the Algerian and Tunisian antiquities markets in a range of different capacities, both as passive facilitators and active participants. • There is evidence that some architects and real estate entrepreneurs are connected to CASE STUDY CASE trafficking networks. Introduction The region is a palimpsest of ancient material,7 much of which remains unexplored and unexcavated by Cultural heritage in North Africa has come under fire archaeologists.

Meyers Vænge 15, 2450 Copenhagen SV, Denmark 2 Department of Wind Energy, Technical University of Denmark, Risø Campus, Frederiksborgvej 399, 4000 Roskilde, Denmark; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected]; Tel.: +45-2383-1621 or +45-212-661-88 Received: 30 October 2017; Accepted: 13 December 2017; Published: 16 December 2017 Abstract: This research presents an industry level gap analysis for Chinese offshore wind, which serves as a way to illuminate how China may fast track industry evolution. The research findings provide insight into how the Chinese government strongly and systematically decrees state-owned Chinese firms to expand into overseas markets to speed up learning efforts. Insights are offered regarding the nation-level strategic plans and institutional support policies mobilized by China in order to be able to conquer market shares internationally by building a strong home market and then facilitating an end-to-end and fully financed export solution. This is interesting in itself and in particular so because it now also includes complex billion-dollar megaprojects such as turnkey offshore wind farm assets with an expected lifespan of 30+ years. Research findings are provided on how European and Chinese firms may successfully forge long-term alliances also for future Chinese wind energy export projects. Examples of past efforts of collaboration not yielding desired results have been included as well. At policy level, recommendations are provided on how the evolution of the Chinese offshore wind power industry can be fast-tracked to mirror the revolutionary pace, volume, and velocity which the Chinese onshore wind power industry has mustered.

    Issue , Working paper CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE Challenges and CHINA-PAKISTAN ECONOMIC CORRIDORSolutionsIn Building CPEC-A Flagship of BRI Written by: Yasir Arrfat Research Coordinator CoE CPEC Minitry of Planning, Pakistan Institute Development Reform of Development Economics Challenges and Solutions in Building CPEC-A Flagship of BRI Yasir Arrfat Research Coordinator Centre of Excellence (CoE) for China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) Islamabad, Pakistan, [email protected] Abstract-One of the OBOR pilot corridors out of the six corridors is CPEC. The CPEC has been initiated in 2013 and due to its speedy progress, CPEC is now vastly considered as the “flagship” project among the OBOR projects. The CPEC initiatives include; development of Gwadar Port, road, rail and optical fiber connectivity, energy corridor and Special Economic Zones development for bilateral benefits to attain inclusive growth and regional harmonization. Before the inception of CPEC, the growth of Pakistan was curtailed by two major bottlenecks; acute energy shortages and weak local and regional connectivity infrastructures. In 2013, CPEC came with 59 billion USDs under OBOR and it has been eliminating all major economic bottlenecks. This paper sheds light on the BRI with deep focusing on CPEC. It further represents the Pakistan’s improving economic indicators through CPEC. This paper will also examine some key challenges and their solutions in building CPEC. Key Words-BRI, Challenges, Connectivity, Corridors, CPEC, Global Competitive Index (GCI), Investment, Infrastructure, OBOR I. INTRODUCTION The Globalization has brought vast changes in global economy and has directed the evolution to a boundary less development. This phenomenon has significantly amplified the maritime trade from 2.37 billion tons of freight to 5.88 billion tons of freight moving through maritime routes.

In this SmartLesson we would like to share how the project partnered with international coaches, local experts, and government bodies to promote corporate governance through publications, annual conferences, and seminars for mass media representatives in Kazakhstan.

  • Chinese Influence on Urban Africa Xuan Liu, Benoit Lefèvre (IDDRI)
    STUDY N°06/12 NOVEMBRER 2012 | URBAN FABRIC Chinese influence on urban Africa Xuan Liu, Benoit Lefèvre (IDDRI) CHINESE INFLUENCE ON URBAN AFRICA EVOLVES TOWARDS INTEGRATED LOCAL DEVELOPMENT Based on economic complementarities acknowledged by both parties, and in line with its “Going Out” strategy, China’s influence on African urbanisation has evolved since 1990 from mainly infrastructure projects to projects that increasingly involve integrated local development. Such a shift can be attested by the establishment of six official Chinese Special Economic Zones in Africa, based upon a three-pillar structure: Chinese state-owned enterprises, local governments, and the China-Africa Devel- opment Fund. China’s influence on urbanisation in Africa not only builds on exporting surplus and production capacity, but also on development thinking and local development models. CHINESE URBANISATION IS MOVING TOWARDS AN “URBAN MANAGEMENT” MODEL According to the 12th Five-Year Plan, sustainable urbanisation is the cen- tral driver of Chinese economic development. Beijing is exploring a new urbanisation model, coined as “urban management”: the China Develop- ment Bank Capital is its main operator, connecting global providers and solutions with local governments and infrastructures. Within this frame- work, over 30 Chinese Special Urbanisation Zones projects have been implemented in China. This evolution at the national level in its turn influences Chinese urban export strategies. CHINA AS AFRICA’S FUTURE URBAN MANAGEMENT OPERATOR? Strong similarities can
