Research Center of Ecological and Environmental Economics Beijing, and International Institute for Environment and Development, London, UK. Developing markets for watershed protection services and improved livelihoods Based on evidence from a range of field sites the IIED project, ‘Developing markets for watershed services and improved livelihoods’ is generating debate on the potential role of markets for watershed services. Under this subset of markets for environmental services, downstream users of water compensate upstream land managers for activities that influence the quantity and quality of downstream water. The project purpose is to increase understanding of the potential role of market mechanisms in promoting the provision of watershed services for improving livelihoods in developing countries. The project is funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID). -
Transforming Payments for Environmental Services in China: Moving from State Control to Equitable Market Mechanisms
1 Transforming payments for environmental services in China: moving from state control to equitable market mechanisms A diagnostic country study contributing to the international project: Developing markets for watershed protection services and improved livelihoods1 Workplan for July 2004 to September 2005 Executive Summary The overall purpose of the project is to: “increase the understanding of the potential role of market mechanisms in promoting the provision of watershed services for improving livelihoods in developing countries.” The work plan for China’s diagnostic study was developed at a preparatory workshop held in Beijing on May 10, 2004, which was attended by principal project partners and other stakeholders. China’s context of payment for environmental services (PES) was reviewed in the workshop. It was agreed that different and complex PES schemes exist in China, which are either initiated by the central government or by local communities. The outputs and the activities for the diagnostic study were developed in the workshop. The diagnostic study has been formulated with four broad outputs with the long-term vision of transforming payments for environmental services from state control to markets. These outputs are: • review of macro-economic policy and legislation that impact on PES, • five case studies that will improve the understanding of market or decentralized projects payments for environmental services, • feasibility studies for further options from selected case studies, and • dissemination of information through seminars, workshops and exchange visits for selected stakeholders. The College of Humanities and Development (COHD) of China Agricultural University (CAU) will coordinate the project implementation together with other partners, including the Institute of Agricultural Economics (IAE), the World Agroforestry Center (ICRAF) and the Research Center for Ecological and Environmental Economics (RCEEE). -

A Geographic History of Song-Dynasty Chan Buddhism: the Decline of the Yunmen Lineage
decline of the yunmen lineage Asia Major (2019) 3d ser. Vol. 32.1: 113-60 jason protass A Geographic History of Song-Dynasty Chan Buddhism: The Decline of the Yunmen Lineage abstract: For a century during China’s Northern Song era, the Yunmen Chan lineage, one of several such regional networks, rose to dominance in the east and north and then abruptly disappeared. Whereas others suggested the decline was caused by a doctri- nal problem, this essay argues that the geopolitics of the Song–Jin wars were the pri- mary cause. The argument builds upon a dataset of Chan abbots gleaned from Flame Records. A chronological series of maps shows that Chan lineages were regionally based. Moreover, Song-era writers knew of regional differences among Chan lin- eages and suggested that regionalism was part of Chan identity: this corroborates my assertion. The essay turns to local gazetteers and early-Southern Song texts that re- cord the impacts of the Song–Jin wars on monasteries in regions associated with the Yunmen lineage. Finally, I consider reasons why the few Yunmen monks who sur- vived into the Southern Song did not reconstitute their lineage, and discuss a small group of Yunmen monks who endured in north China under Jin and Yuan control. keywords: Chan, Buddhism, geographic history, mapping, spatial data n 1101, the recently installed emperor Huizong 徽宗 (r. 1100–1126) I authored a preface for a new collection of Chan 禪 religious biogra- phies, Record of the Continuation of the Flame of the Jianzhong Jingguo Era (Jianzhong Jingguo xudeng lu 建中靖國續燈錄, hereafter Continuation of the Flame).1 The emperor praised the old “five [Chan] lineages, each ex- celling in a family style 五宗各擅家風,” a semimythical system promul- gated by the Chan tradition itself to assert a shared identity among the ramifying branches of master-disciple relationships. -

The Legacy of Tiananmen: 20 Years of Oppression, Activism and Hope Chrd
THE LEGACY OF TIANANMEN: 20 YEARS OF OPPRESSION, ACTIVISM AND HOPE CHRD Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD) Web: Hhttp://crd-net.org/H Email: [email protected] THE LEGACY OF TIANANMEN: 20 YEARS OF OPPRESSION, ACTIVISM AND HOPE Chinese Human Rights Defenders June 1, 2009 Twenty years since the Tiananmen massacre, the Chinese government refuses to accept responsibility, much less apologize or offer compensation, for killing, injuring, imprisoning and persecuting individuals for participating in peaceful protests. The number of the victims, and their names and identities, remain unknown. Families continue to be barred from publicly commemorating and seeking accountability for the death of their loved ones. Activists are persecuted and harassed for independently investigating the crackdown or for calling for a rectification of the government’s verdict on the pro‐democracy movement. Many individuals continue to suffer the consequences of participating in the pro‐democracy movement today. At least eight individuals remain imprisoned in Beijing following unfair trials in which they were convicted of committing “violent crimes”. Those who were released after long sentences have had difficulty re‐integrating into society as they suffer from continued police harassment as well as illnesses and injuries resulting from torture, beatings and mistreatment while in prison. Many of those injured have had to pay for their own medical expenses and continue to struggle as the physical and psychological scars leave them unable to take care of themselves or to work. Some who took part in the protests still find it difficult to make ends meet after they were dismissed from comfortable jobs or expelled from universities after 1989. -

R. China Abstract: As a new information transmission platform, Weibo has become a new tool to serve readers. This article analyzes the problems regarding the uses of Weibo and also provides some constructive suggestions on how to serve readers better through the analysis of statistical data from officially registered Weibo accounts by 50 public libraries in China. According to “The Statistical Report of China Internet Development,” the number of internet users in China had increased to 618 million by December 2013. Of those internet users, 500 million had access through smart-phones, including “196 million who had Weibo accounts through smart-phones.”1 Weibo has become a new tool for public libraries to observe societal changes and better serve their readers. -
