This paper argues that these changes have affected the motivation and the ways in which Chinese scholars engage in international research cooperation. Most recently it has been observed that strong pressures on scholars and scientists - especially at leading academic institutions - to excel in international publications while simultaneously fulfilling their obligation to generate income for their institutions can lead to a dilemma with regard to international research cooperation: Those institutions and scholars most interesting for foreign scholars to cooperate with may be the ones with the least amount of both incentive and time to enter into serious cooperation. This article invites us to reflect on the implications of these changes in the incentive structure for cooperation in social science research on China.}, language = {en} } @book{Alpermann2021, author = {Alpermann, Bj{\"o}rn}, title = {Xinjiang - China und die Uiguren}, edition = {1}, publisher = {W{\"u}rzburg University Press}, address = {W{\"u}rzburg}, isbn = {978-3-95826-162-4}, doi = {10.25972/WUP-978-3-95826-163-1}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-244128}, publisher = {W{\"u}rzburg University Press}, pages = {VI, 262}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Die Situation in Chinas nordwestlicher Region Xinjiang hat in den letzten Jahren zunehmende internationale Aufmerksamkeit erfahren. Berichte {\"u}ber Masseninternierungen von Uiguren und anderen ethnischen Gruppen in Umerziehungslagern, Zwangsarbeit, Zwangssterilisation und weitere Menschenrechtsverletzungen beherrschen die Schlagzeilen und belasten die Beziehungen zwischen China und seinen Kritikern. Die chinesische Regierung rechtfertigt ihr Vorgehen hingegen als Kampf gegen Terrorismus, islamistischen Extremismus und ethnischen Separatismus. „Xinjiang - China und die Uiguren" pr{\"a}sentiert erstmalig in deutscher Sprache eine tiefergehende wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit diesem kontroversen Thema. Pr{\"a}gnant und anschaulich f{\"u}hrt der erste Teil des Buchs in die komplexe Geschichte der Region ein. Der zweite Teil stellt die Entwicklungen im 21. Jahrhundert dar. Hierbei zeigt sich ein facettenreiches Bild der sozio{\"o}konomischen Entwicklung, der ethnischen Identit{\"a}t sowie der Sprach- und Religionspolitik. Der dritte Teil hinterfragt die g{\"a}ngigen Deutungen des Xinjiang-Konflikts, analysiert Proteste und Terrorismus ebenso wie die staatlichen Repressionsmaßnahmen und die internationale Dimension der Auseinandersetzung. Quellennah, basierend auf den Ergebnissen der neuesten Forschung und in einem unaufgeregten Ton vermittelt „Xinjiang - China und die Uiguren" ein ausgewogenes Bild der aktuellen Konflikte.}, subject = {Sinkiang}, language = {de} } @book{Alpermann2022, author = {Alpermann, Bj{\"o}rn}, title = {Le Xinjiang - la Chine et les Ou{\"i}ghours}, publisher = {W{\"u}rzburg University Press}, address = {W{\"u}rzburg}, isbn = {978-3-95826-190-7}, doi = {10.25972/WUP-978-3-95826-190-7}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-283044}, publisher = {W{\"u}rzburg University Press}, pages = {X, 251}, year = {2022}, abstract = {La situation au Xinjiang, r{\´e}gion du Nord-Ouest de la Chine, a ces derni{\`e}res ann{\´e}es suscit{\´e} une attention internationale croissante.

Through qualitative interviews with eco citizens, this study offers an insight into life in an eco city and how aware residents are of their new home's targets and incentives. The thesis investigates, how the eco city encourages residents, who have often never received adequate environmental education, to recycle and adapt their purchasing behaviour. The findings reveal the existence of several technical measures, practical incentive schemes and dissemination techniques that encourage residents to act according to environmental considerations. However, residents are often unaware of the numerical targets or do not make the connection between incentive and intended behaviour. The study highlights possibilities for improvement, in order to enhance residents' understanding of the eco city's objectives. After all, without resident participation and understanding, the Key Performance Indicators may be unattainable and the eco city's eventual economic, social and environmental success in jeopardy.}, language = {en} }
