China has experienced pressing energy shortages in recent years, and Beijing has intensified its efforts to secure China's energy supply through both increased domestic production and external expansion. In this paper, I first analyze China's global quest for energy by looking at the correlation between China's economic growth and its energy security concerns. I then examine the implications of China's "go-out" strategy through two sets of case studies. I argue that China's global search for energy is primarily driven by its rapid economic growth, out of insecurity rather than a master plan to dominate the world, and that China's energy security issues have multiple implications beyond simple economic concerns. Finally, I recommend a forward-looking engagement policy to be adapted by Ca...

This paper provides an overview of environmental policies and their effectiveness in China. Analysis is made with respect to the performance during the 10th five-year plan (2001-2005) and the new environmental targets for the 11th five-year plan (2006-2010). With the establishment of a comprehensive system of policies for environmental protection, China has succeeded in reducing the rate of environmental deterioration as compared to the growth of the economy. However, China failed to meet the environmental targets set in its 10th five-year plan and the targets set in the 11th five-year plan appear overly ambitious. The challenges China faces in the future are unprecedented in terms of scale and intensity. In addition, China is aware of global environmental issues and positive in joining...

La question de à exportation de l'eau en gros soulève discussion dans les milieux politiques, économiques, écologiques et nationalistes, surtout au Canada. Cette étude en examine la faisabilité commerciale. Un projet hypothétique est conçu, avec pour site la Vallée d'Annapolis, située dans l'ouest de la Nouvelle-Ecosse, au Canada. Les données démographiques, le climat et l'économie de la Vallée sont analysés et sa ligne de partage des eaux étudiée dans le but de mieux choisir le site d'extraction. La ville de Brownsville au Texas est le marché hypothétique retenu. Un plan contenant un devis estimatif est proposé. Pour exporter l'eau, on se servira de grands transporteurs de brut (VLCC). Les calculs indiquent qu'une telle entreprise est quatre fois peu rentable, d'où la rareté de tels pr...
