| Summary/Abstract |
This article scrutinizes the limitations of environmental citizenship among citizens and non-citizens in the Arab Gulf states, with a focus on the United Arab Emirates (UAE). There are particularly heightened concerns about water scarcity, food security, marine pollution, and dependence on oil and gas industries and how states can address these challenges in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Yet environmental citizenship in the Indian Ocean’s Arabian littoral remains poorly understood both in terms of theoretical and grounded questions. This article considers how labor relations and discourses relating to citizenship, environment and sustainability enable or foreclose environmental reform in GCC countries. It shifts the technological and economic focus predominant in literature on sustainability in the GCC to take a more social perspective and examine distinctions between citizens and non-citizens and the depoliticising of environmental claims and national industrial legacies.

| Summary/Abstract |
The aim of this paper is to identify proper legal provisions for regulating plant closure in Taiwan. The main argument is that an "ideal"model for such provisions can be developed by embedding the proposed law within its social context. From information obtained through in-depth interviews, I find that a proper plant closure law needs to take into consideration the demands of key actors by striking a balance between managerial prerogative and job security. The paper concludes by proposing a new approach for regulating plant closure in Taiwan.

| Summary/Abstract |
Labor conflicts in China can be classified into three types: those over legal rights, over interests, and over the pre-reform entitlements. They have relatively distinguishable bases, claims, framing, and patterns of interaction with the government. The typological classification is useful for understanding the developmental trajectory of labor conflict in China.
