| Summary/Abstract |
China Pakistan Economic Corridor has been touted by many as a gateway to economic prosperity and stability in Pakistan. It accompanies great potential in terms of solving the ongoing energy crisis and eventually leading Pakistan towards energy security. In this respect, a meta-analytic review has been conducted to identify the underlying concerns that can hinder the successful achievement of energy security though China Pakistan Economic Corridor energy projects. This meta-analysis has revealed strong evidence supporting achievement of Pakistan's energy security dream (89%) along with five main distressing factors which are economic burden (22.22%), security threat (38.89%), project completion delays (22.22%), lack of project feasibility studies (22.22%) and provincial conflict (50%). Additionally, statistically significant strong negative correlation between energy security and economic burden is unearthed with Spearman's rho-value of − 0.759. Moreover, strong negative correlation exists between energy security and project completion delays with rho-value of − 0.500 and P-value of 0.035. Also, project feasibility and project completion delays is found to have a very strong positive correlation as well with rho-value of 0.709 and P-value of 0.001. These findings will assist policy makers and strategists in formulating limitation frameworks for the restriction of undesirable influences on energy security from these identified factors.

| Summary/Abstract |
As China starts to build 6 10-GW wind zones in 5 provinces by 2020, accommodating the wind electricity generated from these large wind zones will be a great challenge for the regional grids. Inadequate wind observing data hinders profiling the wind power fluctuations at the regional grid level. This paper proposed a method to assess the seasonal and diurnal wind power patterns based on the wind speed data from the NASA GEOS-5 DAS system, which provides data to the study of climate processes including the long-term estimates of meteorological quantities. The wind power fluctuations for the 6 largest wind zones in China are presented with both the capacity factor and the megawatt wind power output. The measured hourly wind output in a regional grid is compared to the calculating result to test the analyzing model. To investigate the offsetting effect of dispersed wind farms over large regions, the regional correlations of hourly wind power fluctuations are calculated. The result illustrates the different offsetting effects of minute and hourly fluctuations.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article develops and elaborates on three core points. First, as with research into other social science themes, it is argued that it is necessary to apply the logic of correlation and causality to the study of political violence. Second, it highlights the critical disjuncture between attitudes and behaviors. Many or most individuals who support the use of political violence remain on the sidelines, including those who sympathize with insurgents in Afghanistan (reportedly 29 percent in 2011), and those supportive of "suicide attacks" in the Palestinian Territories (reportedly reaching 66 percent in 2005). Conversely, those responsible for such behaviors are not necessarily supportive of the ostensible political aims. Third, it is argued that the motives that drive these attitudes and behaviors are often (or, some would argue, always) distinct. While the former are motivated by collective grievances, there is substantial case study evidence that the latter are commonly driven by economic (e.g., payments for the emplacement of improvised explosive devices), security-based (i.e., coercion) and sociopsychological (e.g., adventure, status, and vengeance) incentives. Thus, it is necessary for the research community to treat attitudes and behaviors as two separate, albeit interrelated, lines of inquiry

| Summary/Abstract |
As rapid economic growth in China has led to significant appreciation of urban real estate market values, this study examines China's influence on Asian–Pacific real estate markets by focusing on their respective market integration with the US, Japan and China during the period January 2005 to December 2017. Market integration is examined by unconditional and time‐varying conditional correlations, nonlinear Granger causality and dynamic connectedness effects. Overall, although the US and Japanese real estate markets have significantly influenced return and volatility in the regional markets, China has emerged as another major regional real estate volatility leader with rising influence over volatility integration, especially during the 2007–2011 crisis period. Financial crises have strengthened China's volatility connectedness effects and market integration with other Asian–Pacific real estate markets. Our results imply that the benefits of regional portfolio diversification may be declining as volatility integration across the Chinese and Asian–Pacific real estate markets becomes stronger. Therefore, diversified global investors should pay greater attention to these real estate markets.
