China’s impact on the global wind power industry / Lema, Rasmus; Berger, Axel ; Schmitz, Hubert   Journal Article
Lema, Rasmus Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract China's economic rise has transformed the global economy in a number of manufacturing industries. This paper investigates whether China's transformative influence extends to the new green economy. Drawing on the debate about how China is driving major economic changes in the world - the "Asian drivers" debate - it identifies five corridors of influence and investigates their relevance for the wind energy industries. Starting with the demand side, it suggests that the size and rapid growth of the Chinese market have a major influence on competitive parameters in the global wind power industry. While Western firms have found ways of participating in the growth of the Chinese market, the government's procurement regimes benefit Chinese firms. The latter have invested heavily and learned fast, accumulating production capabilities that have led to changes in the global pecking order of lead firms. While the combined impact of Chinese market and production power is already visible, other influences are beginning to be felt - arising from China's coordination, innovation and financing power.

China–Europe relations in the mitigation of climate change: a conceptual framework / Berger, Axel; Fischer, Doris; Lema, Rasmus; Schmitz, Hubert   Journal Article
Schmitz, Hubert Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract Despite the large-scale investments of both China and the EU in climate-change mitigation and renewable-energy promotion, the prevailing view on China-EU relations is one of conflict rather than cooperation. In order to evaluate the prospects of cooperation between China and the EU in these policy fields, empirical research has to go beyond simplistic narratives. This paper suggests a conceptual apparatus that will help researchers better understand the complexities of the real world. The relevant actors operate at different levels and in the public and private sectors. The main message of the paper is that combining the multi-level governance and value-chain approaches helps clarify the multiple relationships between these actors.
