Accordingly, the role of think tanks in the policymaking process has generated great interest within and outside China. This book explores the behaviour and influence of China?s think tanks, and explains the reasons and social consequences of the rise of think tanks in China.The book raises several questions on the topic: How did think tanks emerge in China? What are the essential factors that determine think tanks in terms of building their governmental and personal networks? How do think tanks work and build their influence in the Chinese policy process? What happens to Chinese society when think tanks become important policy participants in the policy process? The book goes on to discuss new perspectives on policy processes and elite politics in China, and empirically, with comparative case study and data from nationwide questionnaire surveys, provides a comprehensive picture of think tanks in the current political system of the country 410 0$aChina Policy Series 606 $aPolitical planning$xDecision making$zChina$vCase studies 606 $aPublic administration$xPolitical aspects$zChina 606 $aResearch institutes$xPolitical aspects$zChina 606 $aResearch institutes$xResearch$zChina 606 $aPolicy sciences$xResearch$zChina 615 0$aPolitical planning$xDecision making 615 0$aPublic administration$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aResearch institutes$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aResearch institutes$xResearch 615 0$aPolicy sciences$xResearch 676 $a320.60951 700 $aZhu$b Xufeng.$0896705 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462224503321 996 $aThe rise of think tanks in China$92003278 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03458nam 2200553 450 001 9910823615103321 005 20230808193406.0 010 $a3-0356-0854-7 024 7 $a10.1515/9783035608540 035 $a(CKB)3710000000718411 035 $a(EBL)4539669 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4539669 035 $a(DE-B1597)465985 035 $a(OCoLC)951505742 035 $a(DE-B1597)9783035608540 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4539669 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11218628 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL928621 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000718411 100 $a20160624h20162016 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aArchitecture activism /$fGRAFT ; with a foreword by Cameron Sinclair 210 1$aBasel, Switzerland :$cBirkha?user,$d[2016] 210 4$d©[2016] 215 $a1 online resource (240 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a3-0356-0855-5 311 $a3-0356-1023-1 327 $tFrontmatter -- $tContents -- $tForeword -- $tIntroduction -- $tMake it Right -- $tAffordable Housing Namibia -- $tHeimat2 -- $tEckwerk Holzmarkt -- $tSolarkiosk -- $tHolistic Living -- $tTwo Icu Rooms in Berlin -- $tPlatoon Kunsthalle -- $tArt Cloud & Unity Flag -- $tGrafties Members of Staff -- $tAbout Graft -- $tIllustration Credits 330 $aFounded in Los Angeles in 1998, GRAFT is a global architectural practice which now maintains branches in Berlin and Beijing. The international practice, which is involved in architectural, urban, and product design ? as well as branding ? is known for its experimental and interdisciplinary designs as well as for its strong social commitment. The publication will document only projects characteristic of this social responsibility ? it portrays architecture as an active tool for driving, in a global context, the development of places worth living in. One key project is the Solar Kiosk developed in 2012, a high-output, solar-based unit which is already used by many communities in Sub-Saharan Africa to secure their power supply. 330 $aGegründet 1998 in Los Angeles, ist Graft ein weltweit agierendes Architekturbüro, das mittlerweile Filialen in Berlin und Peking unterhält. Das Büro, international in den Bereichen Architektur, Städtebau und Design praktizierend, zeichnet sich durch seine experimentierfreudige und interdisziplinäre Entwurfspraxis sowie ein hohes gesellschaftliches Engagement aus. Die Publikation dokumentiert Projekte, die sich im Kontext dieser gesellschaftlich-sozialen Verantwortung bewegen: Sie zeigt Architektur als aktives Werkzeug, um die Entwicklung von lebenswerten Orten im globalen Zusammenhang voranzutreiben. Ein Kernprojekt ist der 2012 entwickelte Solarkiosk, eine leistungsstarke, solarbasierte Einheit, die bereits heute die Stromversorgung in vielen Gemeinden des Afrikas der Subsahara sichert. 606 $aArchitecture and society 606 $aArchitects and community 615 0$aArchitecture and society. 615 0$aArchitects and community. 676 $a720.103 700 $aGRAFT$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01615704 702 $aSinclair$b Cameron 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823615103321 996 $aArchitecture activism$93946020 997 $aUNINA
