• Government procurement of CSO services in the PR China: Doing the party’s work?
  By Andreas Fulda

  The donor landscape for Chinese civil society organisations (CSOs) is rapidly changing. After an era of primarily internationally funded civil society building, the Chinese government has become a donor in its own right. It has started providing funding for Chinese CSOs which are willing to align themselves with governmentpolicies.
  These changes pose both challenges and opportunities for China’s civil society.

• Regional Cyclical behavior between Industrial Output and Electricity Consumption in China: A Panel Smooth Regression Approach
  By M.J. Herrerias
  
  This paper applies a new model based on panel smooth transition regression to
  investigate whether industrial output and electricity consumption displays pro-cyclical
  or counter-cyclical behavior in the case of Chinese provinces, controlling for
  temperature and electricity price.
• Ownership Reform, Innovation, and Energy Intensity: Further Research across Chinese Regions
  By M.J. Herrerias, D. Luo and A. Cuadros
  
  The aim of this work is to analyze the linkages among domestic and foreign innovation, investment ownership, and energy intensity across 30 Chinese regions. In doing so, we examine the differential impact of the patterns of innovation on energy efficiency. In addition, we disaggregate the non-state investment into the different corporate ownerships that operate in China, controlling for other relevant factors such as energy price and the share of industry.

• How Ready is China for a China-style World Order for China’s state media discourse under construction
  By X. Zhang
  
  What is exactly a China-style world order that Chinese officials and intellectual elites have been recently talking about, and how ready is China for it? An examination of the discourses by major state media for the promotion of China’s voice and image abroad, contextualized and enhanced by extensive in-depth interviews, confirms that although China has shifted from the low-profile approach to a more assertive one wanting to change the global order, its verbal challenge and sometimes harsh criticism of the US-led international system is accompanied by an obvious absence of a clear vision of what the new world order should be like.
• China’s competition and the export price strategies of developed countries
  By G. Giovannetti and M. Sanfilippo
  
  This paper analyzes the impact of Chinese competition on developed countries export prices, with a focus on Italy. After a theoretical discussion of the channels affecting export prices in presence of competitors from low income countries, we estimate the pricing behavior of two major manufacturing sectors, consumer goods and machinery, distinguishing destination markets according to their income level.
