  • Does Cadre Turnover Help Or Hinder China's Green Rise?
    Frankfurt School – Working Paper Series No. 184 Does Cadre Turnover Help or Hinder China’s Green Rise? Evidence from Shanxi Province by Sarah Eaton and Genia Kostka January 2012 Sonnemannstr. 9 – 11 60314 Frankfurt an Main, Germany Phone: +49 (0) 69 154 008 0 Fax: +49 (0) 69 154 008 728 Internet: www.frankfurt-school.de Does Cadre Turnover Help or Hinder China’s Green Rise? Evidence from Shanxi Province Abstract China’s national leaders see restructuring and diversification away from resource- based, energy intensive industries as central goals in the coming years. This paper ar- gues that the high turnover of leading cadres at the local level may hinder state-led greening growth initiatives. Frequent cadre turnover is intended to keep local Party secretaries and mayors on the move in order to curb localism and promote compliance with central directives. Yet, with average term lengths of between three and four years, local leaders’ short time horizons can have the perverse effect of discouraging them from taking on comprehensive restructuring, a costly, complex and lengthy process. On the basis of extensive fieldwork in Shanxi province during 2010 and 2011, the pa- per highlights the salience of frequent leadership turnover for China’s green growth ambitions. Key words: Local state, China, policy implementation, governance, cadre rotation JEL classification: D78, D73, O18, R58, Q48, Q58 ISSN: 14369753 Contact: Prof. Dr. Genia Kostka Dr. Sarah Eaton Dr. Werner Jackstädt Assistant Professor Post-Doctoral Researcher for Chinese Business Studies University of Oxford China Centre East-West Centre of Business Studies 74 Woodstock Road and Cultural Science Oxford, OX2 6HP Frankfurt School of Finance & Management E-Mail: [email protected] Sonnemannstraße 9-11, 60314 Frankfurt am Main Tel.: +49 (0)69 154008- 845 Fax.: +49 (0)69 154008-4845 E-Mail: [email protected] Acknowledgements: Fieldwork for this study was partly funded by the Development Leadership Pro- gram ( www.dlp.org ), Werner Jackstädt Foundation and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.

  • Internal Ex-Post Evaluation for Technical Cooperation Project Conducted by China Office
    Internal Ex-Post Evaluation for Technical Cooperation Project conducted by China Office: Month, 201X Country Name The Project on Eco-environment Rehabilitation and Poverty Reduction in Yanmenguan Region, People’s Republic of China Shanxi Province I. Project Outline Yanmenguan Region, Shanxi Province, is located in the Loess Plateau in the Northern China. It is a region of arid sandy terrace where rain-fed farming is the major style of agriculture and poor population is concentrated. In lands where reclamation reached to mountain summits, soil eroded after every heavy rainfall in summer, and this reduced land productivity further accelerated poverty. In 2001, the Shanxi provincial government proposed the Yanmenguan Ecological Livestock Economic Zone Construction Background Plan with the goal of improving ecological environment and of farmers’ livelihood. By mobilizing budget at the state, provincial and county levels, this plan intended to increase the share of livestock farming, protect soil surface through cultivation of perennial plants and promote grass-fed livestock farming. Nevertheless, this region lacked human resources capable of initiating and implementing the above-mentioned plan, as well as grass seeds, livestock, and initial investment cost for livestock-house construction, causing major delays on transition from agriculture to livestock farming. 1. Overall Goal: To diffuse the model system created in the project, improve the ecological environment, and to improve livelihood of the farmers in the Yanmenguan Region. Objectives of the 2. Project Purpose: To construct a model system(Note) for improvement of both ecological environment Project and livelihood of farmers and to establish a system for diffusion in the Yanmenguan Region.

Identification of nitrate sources is important for the management of rivers. In this study, stable isotopes (δ15N and δ18O) and a Bayesian model (stable isotope analysis in R, SIAR) were applied to identify nitrate sources and estimate the proportional contributions of multiple nitrate sources in the upstream of Fenhe River Reservoir that serves as a source of drinking water in Shanxi Province of North China. *e results showed that the 86.4% of total nitrogen (TN) concentrations in the water samples exceeded the guided values of the Chinese Surface Water Environmental Quality Standard (GB 3838-2002). *e influent of tributary and discharges of sewage caused the severe nitrogen pollution. SIAR was used to estimate the proportional contribution of three nitrate sources (sewage, inorganic fertilizer, and soil nitrogen).
