Capital Punishment in East Asia is an international collaborative project that provides a comprehensive account of the death penalty in East Asia from the ancient era until today. The book is divided into three parts - 'Crime and Punishment,' 'Society and Capital Punishment,' and 'From a Standpoint Outside Chinese Culture' - and is based on a variety of legal disciplines - legal philosophy, legal sociology, and law history. It explores cases in Japan, China, India, Nepal (as well as the Netherlands, Sweden, and Britain) in a scholarly and empirical discussion on the legal consciousness of crime and punishment in comparative historical perspectives, and it makes a deep contribution to contemporary affairs. *** "The essays have already stimulated a follow-up research project on ritual and punishment that one hopes will yield a future volume. The present book will be welcomed by and required reading for specialists and can be mined by participants in current debates about the death penalty. Recommended." - Choice, Vol. 50, No. 04, December 2012.

<p>Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is an innovative mechanism under the Kyoto Protocol that was created in the third Conference of Parties in 1997. This mechanism originated from two different proposals made in the international negotiations. This book examines the current status and characteristics of CDM projects all over the world to see the influence and impact on sustainable development in developing countries. Secondly, it clarifies ways to adjust the differences in concerns between China and Japan over economics, the environment, and climate change, and to analyze whether sustainable development impacts can encourage the Chinese government to promote climate change mitigation measures. The book shows that the improvement of energy efficiency at coal-fired power plants in China will bring a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as bring the benefits that China desires to gain. It establishes an evaluation framework of CDM that can take sustainable development impacts into account and that can provide useful information when choosing socially efficient CDM projects.</p>

In the last two decades, the expansion of China's urban labor market has gone through dynamic job creation and destruction, as well as large-scale rural-urban immigration. The marketization since the early 1980s has made great progress in the transition to a real labor market. This book offers a novel analysis of China's labor market using modern structural econometric models. The book examines the issues of the disequilibrium of labor supply and demand in China. It also looks at the impact of rural-urban immigration on the urban labor market. China's Urban Labor Market provides analyses of the economic reasons behind the high unemployment rate in China, and explains why it coexists with a shortage of workers in recent years.
