| Summary/Abstract |
In 2009, Jiangsu province of China supplied 99.6 percent of its total energy consumption with fossil fuels, of which 82 percent was imported from other provinces and countries. With rising energy demand, frequent energy shortages, and increasing pollution, it is essential for Jiangsu to put more emphasis on improving its energy efficiency and utilizing its renewable resources in the future. This paper presents the integrated energy pathway for Jiangsu during its social and economic transformation until 2050. EnergyPLAN is the chosen energy system analysis tool, since it accounts for all sectors of the energy system that needs to be considered when integrating large-scale renewable energy. A current policy scenario (CPS) based on current energy policies and an ambitious policy scenario (APS) based on large-scale integration of renewable energy and ambitious measures of energy efficiency improvement are proposed. The two energy pathways are modeled and compared in terms of technology combination, non-fossil fuel shares of primary energy supply, socioeconomic costs, and CO2 emissions. The insights from these pathways can provide valuable input for Jiangsu's future energy policies.

| Summary/Abstract |
Functioning land markets are necessary for an increase in off-farm employment. However, there is limited empirical evidence on the impact of land transfer on off-farm employment in rural China. This paper investigates the drivers of households' cooperative membership, which is equivalent to transferring land through land cooperatives, and its impact on off-farm employment. Using a two-step control function approach and data from Suzhou and Yangzhou (Jiangsu province), we do not find a general effect of cooperative membership on household heads' current off-farm employment, though the effect is large for households which had surplus agricultural labor before cooperative initiation. The effect is also positive and large for household heads without off-farm experience and households located in Yangzhou. Policy-makers should be aware of the distributional consequences of these heterogeneous effects.

| Summary/Abstract |
Electricity consumption is of interest both from the perspectives of adaptation to climate change and emission reductions. This study examines the climatic impacts on residential electricity consumption for Jiangsu, China that overtook the world's 13th largest economy-Australia in 2018. Temperature response functions are introduced into estimating the effect of heating degree days and cooling degree days on the electricity consumption of urban and rural residents, using city-level panel data. The results show that both higher cooling demand in the summer and higher heating demand in the winter leads to increased electricity consumption. The electricity demand will be increased as rural disposable income and the urbanization rate in Jiangsu increase due to residents having greater demands for temperature regulation. While the marginal effect of urban disposable income is negative. When estimating the electricity demand of urban and rural residents, it should be considered that the random fluctuations in the annual precipitation, as well as the population movements (inflow/outflow) among cities with different development levels.

Ecological modernisation has evolved and shifted from a social theory to a political agenda that endeavours to tackle the environmental consequences of industrialisation. Drawing on primary information collected from interviews with provincial policy-makers, industrial managers and representatives of professional associations, the article analyses renewable energy deployment in two coastal provinces of China. Institutional configurations are also examined in order to understand whether coherent synergies between environmental and economic goals can be achieved. The article argues that the inteventionist, state-centric measures in the regional renewable energy sector represent a novel form of ecological modernisation distinguishable from the models that originated in Europe.

| Summary/Abstract |
Jiangsu was one of the many Chinese provinces that suffered from bitter and prolonged factional violence in 1967 and 1968. It took more than three years to recreate relatively stable government authority, and the process was protracted and highly contentious. A provisional cease-fire orchestrated by Beijing in September 1967 initiated six months of chaotic negotiations in Beijing, in which opposed civilian and military delegations proved immune to the Center's efforts to forge factional unity. The divisions continued to fester after the controversial General Xu Shiyou was put in charge of a new Provincial Revolutionary Committee in March 1968 that gave leading civilian rebels from neither faction significant posts. It took General Xu almost three years to eliminate his civilian and military opponents but, by the end of 1970, after a series of fierce suppression campaigns, he and his military allies ruled Jiangsu with an iron hand.

| Summary/Abstract |
This study examines the effect of own income versus reference group income and the subjective factors considered important in a job for a sample of off-farm migrants in China. We find that own income has a positive effect on job satisfaction while the effect of reference group income is gender specific. We find evidence that males experience a tunnelling effect (higher income co-workers increase their job satisfaction) while females experience a jealousy effect (higher income co-workers lower their job satisfaction). We explain this result in terms of men reacting more positively in competitive environments and that, in China, males have better prospects for promotion. We find that compared with employees in western countries, off-farm migrants in China place much more emphasis on income and less importance on collegiality and job stability.

| Summary/Abstract |
Scalar relations have been restructured in the contemporary capitalism. in post-reform China. many scalars are transformed and constructed with the transition from state socialism to market economy. This article examines the process of rescaling state power from the perspective of politics of scale. using a case of province-jading-city reform in Jiangsu province. By examining the role of government at various levels in the province-leading-city reform. it is argued that the province-leading-city reform is a rescaling of state power. involving up-scaling and down-scaling of powers. Due to power reshuffling in the rescaling process. there are intense power struggles among scalars in both vertical and horizontal dimensions. With the deepening process of globalization. marketization. and decentralization. China's cities and regions have undergone dramatic economic and political restructuring since the late l970s. There emerges consider-
able acidotic and policy interests in China's changing urban and regional governance after the launch of economic reforms and open-door policy. especially after 2000.' On the urban scale. China's changing
governance has been the focus of previous studies? By cautiously borrowing Western urban theories. such as urban regime. growth coalition. and entrepreneurial city. scholars have argued that transitional China shares stone similarities with Western societies, but there are still differences in urban governance due to a strong government or tight social control."
