Sommario/riassunto

This book provides an overview of the rapid development Beijing has seen in a wide range of areas in 2018, both in itself and as an integral



part of a larger region, as China's economic development continues to improve in overall quality and regional coordination. General reports on progress Beijing made and problems it faced in 2018 in improving its economy, public services, and municipal and community governance, urban planning, and funding for innovations are followed by case studies that look at best practices and how they can be applied towards promoting coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The strategy features prominently in the outlook contributors present for the greater metropolitan area of Beijing for 2019. This book is a valuable source of reference for anyone trying to gain a better understanding the what, how, and why in relation to one of the world's fastest growing mega-cities. The Beijing Academy ofSocial Sciences is a government-affiliated think tank, compiling economic, population and other statistics for the public interest.

Sommario/riassunto

The proper construction of the compensation clause of the Constitution



has emerged as the central legal issue of the environmental revolution, as property owners have challenged a steady stream of environmental statutes that have cut deeply into traditional notions of property rights. When may they justly demand that the state compensate them for the sacrifices they are called upon to make for the common good? Ackerman argues that there is more at stake in the present wave of litigation than even the future shape of environmental law in the United States. To frame an adequate response, lawyers must come to terms with an analytic conflict that implicates the nature of modern legal thought itself. Ackerman expresses this conflict in terms of two opposed ideal types---Scientific Policymaking and Ordinary Observing---and sketches the very different way in which these competing approaches understand the compensation question. He also tries to demonstrate that the confusion of current compensation doctrine is a product of the legal profession's failure to choose between these two modes of legal analysis. He concludes by exploring the large implications of such a choice---relating the conflict between Scientific Policymaking and Ordinary Observing to fundamental issues in economic analysis, political theory, metaethics, and the philosophy of language.
