| Summary/Abstract |
In this paper we evaluate three projects with the participation of 40 supplier firms in several Chinese coastal provinces representing multi-stakeholder efforts to provide alternative channels through which workers can voice their concerns. The supplier firms took on these projects to reduce worker dissatisfaction and employee turnover. The projects fill an institutional void in employer–employee relations within CHINESE SUPPLIER firms as they provide alternative channels for workers to voice their concerns. The role of civil society organisations focusing on labour interests was a crucial feature of the projects, through capacity-building for workers and by providing independence. The supplier firms and their workers have benefitted as firms take measures to enhance worker satisfaction, while the reduced employee turnover positively impacted firm performance. We propose that these collaborative socially responsible practices are a potential way to strengthen the positions of workers and supplier firms in global supply chains.

| Summary/Abstract |
Many countries have implemented incentive policies to support green R & D. However, the behavior of enterprises using the information asymmetry between government and enterprises to camouflage green R & D and obtain preferential policies will lead to the failure of policies. In order to explore the effectiveness of policies in stimulating green R & D, this paper studies the diffusion of green R & D in the photovoltaic industry under different scenarios of incentives and supervision. The results show that: (1) improving regulatory capacity or punishment can inhibit the behavior of enterprises camouflage as green R & D. (2) Under current policies, R & D tax incentives increasing has no obvious effect on the diffusion of green R & D. (3) When implementing the green R & D quota system (GRDQS), the diffusion of green R & D can be deduced under model, even if the R & D tax preference is cancelled. Based on our model, we believe that the GRDQS is an effective means to encourage the photovoltaic industry to carry out green R & D.

| Summary/Abstract |
Compared with other ethnic groups, Chinese immigrants have a low profile and their voices, contributions, sufferings and needs are not widely recognised. This paper argues that the vulnerability of Chinese migrant workers is related to the poor working conditions in ethnic workplaces and the social isolation they experience, and that these two problems are interwoven. The data were obtained from an empirical survey involving 28 Chinese- and Italian-owned manufacturers in the textile, garment and leather sectors in the Veneto region of northern Italy, selected to enable comparisons to be made between conditions in Chinese-owned and Italian-owned businesses.

| Summary/Abstract |
Higher education (HE) in China has been transformed from elite to mass education over the last decade due to commercialisation and funding reform. Many questions have been raised regarding the impact of HE expansion on social justice: what are the implications of the distribution of HE resources on regional inequality? How does it influence different social groups in terms of access to HE? What are the financial implications on different regions and social groups as a result of the funding reform? Based on the official data by region in 1998 and 2006, this paper aims to address these questions and describe how HE has changed over time, both spatially and inter-temporally. Our research results suggest that HE reforms have disadvantaged poor people in impoverished regions despite the availability of HE opportunities for them.
