Human Values within China’s New-Age Benevolence

Ronald Colin Keith

Descripton

Henry Kissinger observed, “Everybody wants to be a China hawk.” China is a bull . China is a i German . China commits genocide. China disrupts the internatonal rules based order. esponding to such unin ormed generali aton on the nature o China s regime and its lack o human values, the Western Liberal emocracies have created their own China Problem b clinging to Cold War anachronism. he clash o values is not nearl as deep and e tensive as is o en claimed. urthermore, the contemporar public discourse on China needs a complete assessment o the values that have emerged in i inping s China. i is regarded as red like ao. i, however, has abandoned ao s view o class struggle and his noton o a rejuvenated China embraces traditonal core principles that ao bi erl condemned. “Ren”, or “benevolence”, or e ample, now in orms entwined domestc and oreign polic as moderate prosperity in all respects . Ren”, or benevolence is aligned with “common security” and “common development”. he ueston is whether this is a positve restoraton o traditonal values that will contribute to domestc development and internatonal peace, or restoratonist iddle Kingdom ism designed to assert Chinese values worldwide. his book s anal sis o Chinese values argues that the current interpretaton o the China hreat is predicated in a serious misunderstanding o Chinese values.

t is o en commented that China is the defning geopolitcal issues o our tme . his book is an especiall tmel contributon to the currentl limited public polic debate on China as a threat to Western values and the internatonal rules based s stem . Correcton is long overdue with re erence to speculatve assumptons that i inping s regime represents a return to ao s regime. “Socialism with Chinese characteristcs” has signifcantl moved on under i s leadership. H perbole about China has presumed the contnuaton o Chinese Cold War ideolog and has either lightl commented on, or ignored altogether the resurgence o core traditonal ideas in Chinese polic ormaton. his book provides detailed research o i inping hought and i inping iplomatc hought . t adopts a widel construed, but serious interdisciplinar , approach towards the China Problem , drawing on both the social sciences and humanites. his wide angled approach includes new sinolog in its recent review o translated China , s nthesi ing traditon and culture with the development o modern Chinese ideolog , politcs and polic ormaton. he book s signifcant topicalit is presented within an unconventonal approach and orma ed contents designed to reach out to the biggest circle o general and advanced, China interested readers in a tme o the great debate.

How did the Great Proletarian Cultural Revoluton afect everyone’s lives?

his book plunges into the conte ts o these concerns to seek di erent relatons that reveal the evoluton s di erent meanings. urthermore, this book shows that scholars o the Cultural evoluton encountered emotonal and intellectual challenges as the cared about the real people who owned an identt resource that could trigger an imagined thread o solidarit in their minds.

he authors believe that the evoluton s magnitude and pervasive scope alwa s resulted in individuali ed engagements that have signifcant and di ering conse uences or those struggling in their micro conte t. t has impacted a uture with unpredictable collectve implicatons in terms o ethnicit , gender, memor , scholarship, or career. he Cultural evoluton is, there ore, an evolving relaton beneath the rise o China that will neither ade awa nor sancton integratve paths.

Time to Rethink Risk Management

Surviving Future Global Crises

Key Features

• his book covers what organisatons should have learnt rom the C 9 crisis and previous global crises

• ased on adaptng risk management to the emergent UC environment

• Proposes a reimagining and re ormulaton o Enterprise isk anagement and provides guidance on how organisatons and governments can incorporate this

• E istng literature in the feld is e tremel limited, with most books having ver limited scope and at most addressing one specifc global crisis

Descripton

The purpose of this book is to change thinking about crises and risk. isk management is toda both a great success, an impressive achievement, and a notable ailure. t works, and it doesn t work. t saves lives and propert , and it ails to save lives and propert . t helps and it hinders. Like all such management approaches, this has a lot to do with how it is emplo ed and practced, but in the case o risk management there is also a much more undamental issue. he risk management ramework, the risk management model, is wrong. an organisatons toda treat all risks as point events, when the real risks involve s stemic threats inherent in the global econom , and the uncertain nature o global societ .

he book argues that risk management has come a long wa , but that evidence o its more recent ailure is now all around us and that it needs to now change dramatcall i it is to accommodate current realites. Whilst there is a clear need or us all to manage risk through a crisis, there is a lack o understanding o the nature o crises that is impeding progress. s well as providing a conceptual basis or changing the wa risk management is undertaken, the book provides a blueprint or managing at organisatonal level through a global crisis, and, to a more limited e tent, at government and other levels how to prepare, what to do when it s happening and how and when to emerge into the post crisis world.

Complete Guide to the Fragment Molecular Orbital Method in GAMESS

From One Atom to a Million, at your Service

Dmitri G Fedorov

Natonal Insttute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Japan

Endorsement

“It is rather tmely to have a rigorous but user-oriented and accessible book for the fragment molecular orbital. The implementaton within GAMESS with a clear descripton of how to invoke FMO optons, practcal tps on how to apply these, and concrete examples will be of great practcal value in addressing computatonal materials problems in biology, chemistry, and physics. A comprehensive treatment of both fundamental and practcal concerns in FMO are included: the use of various levels of quantum chemical theory within FMO, PIEDA, segmentaton and fragmentaton, efectve potentals and grids, and massively scaling up the calculaton size.”

Key Features

• Provides a comprehensive overview o histor and politcs in China since 949

• pplies a thematc approach revoluton, recover and re uvenaton encompassing a chronological breakdown o events

• E amines the rise and re uvenaton o China not ust within an economic and militar conte t but also within ramework o increasingl dominant Chinese discourses

• ddresses topical issues such as human rights, environment and natonalism

Descripton

Basic mathematcal techniques for partal diferental equatons (PDE) with applicatons to the life sciences form an integral part of the core curriculum for programs in mathematcal biology. et, students in such a program with an undergraduate training in biolog are t picall defcient in an e posure to P E. his volume starts with simple frst order P E and progresses through higher order e uatons and s stems but with interestng applicatons, even at the level o a single frst order P E with constant coe cients.

Similar to the two previous volumes b the author, another uni ue eature o the book is highlightng the scientfc theme(s) o interest or the biological phenomena being modelled and anal sed. n additon to temporal evoluton o a biological phenomenon, its limitng e uilibrium states and their stabilit , the possibilit o locatonal variatons leads to a stud o additonal themes such as (signal and wave) propagaton, spatal pa erning and robustness. he re uirement that biological developments are relatvel insensitve to sustained environmental changes provides an opportunit to e amine the issue o eedback and robustness not encountered in the previous two volumes o this series.

Descripton

Linear algebra and matrix theory are among the most important and most frequently applied branches of mathematcs. he are especiall important in solving engineering and economic models, where either the model is assumed linear, or the nonlinear model is appro imated b a linear model, and the resultng linear model is e amined.

his book is mainl a te tbook, that covers a one semester upper division course or a two semester lower division course on the sub ect.

he second editon will be an e tended and moderni ed version o the frst editon. We added some new theoretcal topics and some new applicatons rom felds other than economics. We also added more di cult e ercises at the end o each chapter which re uire deep understanding o the theoretcal issues. We also moderni ed some proo s in the theoretcal discussions which give be er overview o the stud material. n preparing the manuscript we also corrected the t pos and errors, so the second editon will be a corrected, e tended and moderni ed new version o the frst editon.

Michael A Radin Rochester Insttute of Technology, USA

Key Features

• he book provides several repettve t pe guided e amples that navigate to deeper undamentals and to solving more challenging problems

• hese practce problems lead to ormulatng pa erns, to inductve reasoning and to proo b inducton

• he book introduces the inductve approach to grasp the concepts

• he book presents each concept graphicall and anal tcall and the connecton between the two methods

• he book also emphasi es the similarites and contrasts between assorted pa erns and widens the readers anal tcal skills and welcomes them to un old more mathematcal essences

Descripton

The book’s objectves are to expose students to analyzing and formulatng various paterns such as linear, quadratc, geometric, piecewise, alternatng, summatontype, product-type, recursive and periodic paterns. he book will present various pa erns graphicall and anal tcall and show the connectons between them.

Today we know much about the sky: how stars are born, how they live and die, and how the universe as a whole evolves. We have learned o the e istence o another t pe o ma er, indi erent to light and et decisive or the ormaton o gala ies, and we have a hint o a dark energ that since the last 4.5 billion ears has taken over the control o the cosmos. We postulated and then discovered and even photographed black holes and listened to the aint rustle o the space tme ripple produced when these monsters devour each other. We reached these astonishing results (recogni ed b a bunch o obel Pri es and flling ever da the media with wonders or the e es and the mind) b the marriage o ph sics and astronom that unifed the Earth with the sk and then b the leap orward o science and technolog in the wenteth Centur . his rich heritage has ancient roots. t was built b accumulatng discoveries with errors, observatons with antasies, m ths, and supersttons with ashes o genius, over a span o millennia, since Homo sapiens, turning his e es to the immutable and per ect sk , began to ask uestons.

Descripton

Astrophotonics is the applicaton of photonics to astronomical instrumentaton. This rapidl developing feld is a new approach to instrumentaton in which the bulk optcs o traditonal instruments, such as lenses, mirrors, and di racton gratngs are replaced with devices embedded within waveguides. his enables instruments that are smaller, modular, more stable, and most e citngl , with optcal capabilites not possible with traditonal instruments.

strophotonics has reached a stage o development where man protot pe devices are now being tested on sk , and the frst ull edged instruments incorporatng photonic devices are now being used or observatons. he feld is thus transitoning rom one o instrumental research and development to mainstream observatonal astroph sics.

his is the frst book ocussed on astrophotonics, wri en b three e perts in the feld. eginning with a sound introducton to the basic principles o astrophotonics, it is intended to communicate the current status, potental, and uture possibilites o astrophotonics to the wider astronomical, optcs and photonics communites.

China Change and Confucian “Benevolence”

Human Values, Truth and Policy

Colin Keith

Descripton

Henry Kissinger observed, “Everybody wants to be a China hawk.” China is a bull . China is a i German . China commits genocide. China disrupts the internatonal rules based order. esponding to such unin ormed generali aton on the nature o China s regime and its lack o human values, the Western Liberal emocracies have created their own China Problem b clinging to Cold War anachronism. he clash o values is not nearl as deep and e tensive as is o en claimed. urthermore, the contemporar public discourse on China needs a complete assessment o the values that have emerged in i inping s China. i is regarded as red like ao. i, however, has abandoned ao s view o class struggle and his noton o a re uvenated China embraces traditonal core principles that ao bi erl condemned. en , or benevolence , or e ample, now in orms entwined domestc and oreign polic as moderate prosperit in all respects . en , or benevolence is aligned with common securit and common development . he ueston is whether this is a positve restoraton o traditonal values that will contribute to domestc development and internatonal peace, or restoratonist iddle Kingdom ism designed to assert Chinese values worldwide. his book s anal sis o Chinese values argues that the current interpretaton o the China hreat is predicated in a serious misunderstanding o Chinese values.

t is o en commented that China is the defning geopolitcal issues o our tme . his book is an especiall tmel contributon to the currentl limited public polic debate on China as a threat to Western values and the internatonal rules based s stem . Correcton is long overdue with re erence to speculatve assumptons that i inping s regime represents a return to ao s regime. Socialism with Chinese characteristcs has signifcantl moved on under i s leadership. H perbole about China has presumed the contnuaton o Chinese Cold War ideolog and has either lightl commented on, or ignored altogether the resurgence o core traditonal ideas in Chinese polic ormaton. his book provides detailed research o i inping hought and i inping iplomatc hought . t adopts a widel construed, but serious interdisciplinar , approach towards the China Problem , drawing on both the social sciences and humanites. his wide angled approach includes new sinolog in its recent review o translated China , s nthesi ing traditon and culture with the development o modern Chinese ideolog , politcs and polic ormaton. he book s signifcant topicalit is presented within an unconventonal approach and orma ed contents designed to reach out to the biggest circle o general and advanced, China interested readers in the tme o great debate.

Time to Rethink Risk Management

Surviving Future Global Crises

Key Features

• his book covers what organisatons should have learnt rom the C 9 crisis and previous global crises

• ased on adaptng risk management to the emergent UC environment

• Proposes a reimagining and re ormulaton o Enterprise isk anagement and provides guidance on how organisatons and governments can incorporate this

• E istng literature in the feld is e tremel limited, with most books having ver limited scope and at most addressing one specifc global crisis

Descripton

The purpose of this book is to change thinking about crises and risk. isk management is toda both a great success, an impressive achievement, and a notable ailure. t works, and it doesn t work. t saves lives and propert , and it ails to save lives and propert . t helps and it hinders. Like all such management approaches, this has a lot to do with how it is emplo ed and practced, but in the case o risk management there is also a much more undamental issue. he risk management ramework, the risk management model, is wrong. an organisatons toda treat all risks as point events, when the real risks involve s stemic threats inherent in the global econom , and the uncertain nature o global societ .

he book argues that risk management has come a long wa , but that evidence o its more recent ailure is now all around us and that it needs to now change dramatcall i it is to accommodate current realites. Whilst there is a clear need or us all to manage risk through a crisis, there is a lack o understanding o the nature o crises that is impeding progress. s well as providing a conceptual basis or changing the wa risk management is undertaken, the book provides a blueprint or managing at organisatonal level through a global crisis, and, to a more limited e tent, at government and other levels how to prepare, what to do when it s happening and how and when to emerge into the post crisis world.

From One Atom to a Million, at your Service

Dmitri G Fedorov

Natonal Insttute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Japan

Endorsement

“It is rather tmely to have a rigorous but user-oriented and accessible book for the fragment molecular orbital. The implementaton within GAMESS with a clear descripton of how to invoke FMO optons, practcal tps on how to apply these, and concrete examples will be of great practcal value in addressing computatonal materials problems in biology, chemistry, and physics. A comprehensive treatment of both fundamental and practcal concerns in FMO are included: the use of various levels of quantum chemical theory within FMO, PIEDA, segmentaton and fragmentaton, efectve potentals and grids, and massively scaling up the calculaton size.”

What motvatons work well and which don t when making it through the Ph he book also includes several chapters on appl ing to a Ph , universit selecton, supervisor selecton and document preparaton. We then move onto what goes on during the Ph , which is where the ma orit o uestons o en arise. uestons around workload, tme management, mental health, social comparison, (peer) pressure, supervisor (mis)communicatons, all the wa up to publishing, teaching, networking, con erence a endance, presentng work and preparing or the ne t step are addressed. nd es, the ne t step ma ers are ou planning to contnue to work in academia, or not he book addresses both career pathwa s, sta ing in or leaving academia, e uall .

here has been increased pushback against the idea that those with a Ph should automatcall remain in academia, especiall as the academic ob market has become increasingl saturated. here has been an increased interest in transitoning rom academia to industr , but again, the in ormaton on how to properl approach this remains sca ered. his book aims to take a (prospectve) Ph student b the hand and outline the entre process, answering ever ueston the could possibl have along the wa .

Modern Mathematcal Methods for Scientsts and Engineers

A Street-Smart Introducton

Descripton

Efhimios Kaxiras Harvard University, USA

Modern Mathematcal Methods for Scientsts and Engineers is a modern introducton to basic topics in mathematcs at the undergraduate level, with emphasis on explanatons and applicatons to real-life problems. here is also an pplicaton secton at the end o each chapter, with topics drawn rom a variet o areas, including neural networks, uid d namics, and the behavior o put and call optons in fnancial markets. he book presents several modern important and computatonall e cient topics, including eed orward neural networks, wavelets, generali ed unctons, stochastc optmi aton methods, and numerical methods.

uni ue and novel eature o the book is the introducton o a recentl developed method or solving partal di erental e uatons (P Es), called the unifed trans orm. P Es are the mathematcal cornerstone or describing an astonishingl wide range o phenomena, rom uantum mechanics to ocean waves, to the di usion o heat in ma er and the behavior o fnancial markets. espite the e orts o man amous mathematcians, ph sicists and engineers, the soluton o partal di erental e uatons remains a challenge.

he unifed trans orm greatl acilitates this task. or e ample, two and a hal centuries a er ean d lembert ormulated the wave e uaton and presented a soluton or solving a simple problem or this e uaton, the unifed trans orm derives in a simple manner a generali aton o the d lembert soluton, valid or general boundar value problems. oreover, two centuries a er oseph ourier introduced the classical tool o the ourier series or solving the heat e uaton, the unifed trans orm constructs a new soluton to this ubi uitous P E, with important anal tcal and numerical advantages in comparison to the classical solutons. he authors present the unifed trans orm pedagogicall , building all the necessar background, including unctons o real and o comple variables and the ourier trans orm, illustratng the method with numerous e amples.

road in scope, but pedagogical in st le and content, the book is an introducton to power ul mathematcal concepts and modern tools or students in science and engineering.

Endorsement

“The readers are taken by the hand and shown introductory and fundamental notons of Algebraic Geometry. The problems at the end of each chapter are helpful for ensuring a beter understanding and for further practce of the concepts dealt with in the textbook. The clarity of presentaton makes the book suitable and versatle in diferent contexts, not only — as one might assume at frst sight — for the courses of the three-year degree in Mathematcs.”

Gilberto Bini Professor in Geometry University of Palermo, Italy

Descripton

This book provides a gentle introducton to the foundatons of Algebraic Geometry, startng from computatonal topics (ideals and homogeneous ideals, zero loci of ideals) up to increasingly intrinsic and abstract arguments, like “Algebraic Varietes”, whose natural contnuaton is a more advanced course on the theory of schemes, vector bundles and sheaf-cohomology.

aluable to students stud ing lgebraic Geometr and Geometr , A First Course in Algebraic Geometry and Algebraic Varietes contains around 60 solved e ercises to help students thoroughl understand the theories introduced in the book. Proo s o the results are carried out in ull details.

an e amples are discussed which rein orces the understanding o both the theoretcal elements and their conse uences as well as the possible applicatons o the material.

Descripton

Mathematcal models are very much in the news now, as they are used to make decisions about our response to such vital areas as COVID-19 and climate change. re uentl , the are blamed or a series o dubious decisions, creatng much concern amongst the general public. However, without mathematcal models, we would have none o the modern technolog that we take or granted, nor would we have modern health care, be able to orecast the climate, cook a potato, have electricit to power our home, or go into space.

e plaining technical mathematcal concepts in a wa that ever one can understand and appreciate, Climate, Chaos and COVID: How Mathematcal Models Describe the Universe sets the record straight and li s the lid o the m ster o mathematcal models. t shows wh the work, how good the can be, the advantages and disadvantages o using them and how the make the modern world possible. he readers will be able to see the impact that the use o these models has on their lives, and will be able to appreciate both their power and their limitatons.

Descripton

Necrotzing enterocolits (NEC), described over 30 years ago, remains the leading cause of death in premature infants from gastrointestnal disease. It is a iomatc that EC is both a devastatngl serious disease and one in which its ver underpinnings remain a m ster .

he disease develops uickl and without warning. Ever clinician who takes care o neonates will a est to the t pical scenario o a premature in ant who is at frst clinicall stable, then subtl begins to mani est a series o s mptoms which progress o en uite rapidl rom eeding intolerance, abdominal distenton and blood stools, to outright sepsis and hemod namic instabilit . Ever surgeon who operates on these ragile patents will have e perienced the scenario where laparotom reveals the presence o patch necrosis o the intestne with a distributon and severit which ma or ma not match the clinical impression that was present preoperatvel . large number o studies have revealed that neither the t pe o surger that is per ormed on patents with EC, nor its tming, can signifcantl alter outcomes in patents with this disease. hese clinical impressions reveal the highl variable nature o patents with EC, and also underscore the act that i we are to improve the outcome o these oung children, then a clearer understanding o the pathogenesis o EC at the molecular level is re uired.

his te tbook will ocus on all ma or schools o thought regarding the actors that lead to the development o EC, and will address the current scientfc approach to the development o appropriate treatments. n additon, this book will address the comple social, ethical, nursing and rehabilitatve issues that clinicians ace when caring or patents with EC. inall , a signifcant ocus o the book will be devoted to the scientfc underpinnings o this disease, and the successes so ar in the development o novel therapeutc approaches based upon these scientfc discoveries.

Descripton

The Romans built enduring bridges well before Newton came along, armed simply with a working knowledge of mechanics and materials. n contrast, toda s bridge building is an elaborate enterprise involving C tools, composite materials and acoustc imaging. When technolog is pushed to its limits, a working knowledge proves inade uate, and an in depth understanding o core ph sical principles, both macroscopic and microscopic, top down vs bo om up, becomes essental.

We fnd ourselves toda at a similar crossroad in semiconductor device technolog , where a working knowledge o solid state electronics is no longer enough. aced with the prohibitve cost o computng and the slowdown o chip manu acturing, device scaling and the global suppl chain, the semiconductor industr is orced to e plore alternate pla orms such as 2 materials, spintronics, analog processing and uantum engineering.

his book combines top down classical device ph sics with bo om up uantum transport in a single venue to provide the basis or such a scientfc e ploraton. t is essental, eas reading or beginning undergraduate and practcing graduate students, ph sicists un amiliar with device engineering and engineers untrained in uantum ph sics. With ust a modest pre re uisite o reshman maths, the book works uickl through ke concepts in uantum ph sics, atlab e ercises and original homeworks, to cover a wide range o topics rom chemical bonding to Ho stader bu er ies, domain walls to Chern insulators, solar cells to photodiodes, in E s to a orana ermions. or the practcing device engineer, it provides new concepts such as the uantum o resistance, while or the practcing uantum ph sicist, it provides new conte ts such as the tunnel transistor.

Descripton

Today we know much about the sky: how stars are born, how they live and die, and how the universe as a whole evolves. We have learned o the e istence o another t pe o ma er, indi erent to light and et decisive or the ormaton o gala ies, and we have a hint o a dark energ that since the last 4.5 billion ears has taken over the control o the cosmos. We postulated and then discovered and even photographed black holes and listened to the aint rustle o the space tme ripple produced when these monsters devour each other. We reached these astonishing results (recogni ed b a bunch o obel Pri es and flling ever da the media with wonders or the e es and the mind) b the marriage o ph sics and astronom that unifed the Earth with the sk and then b the leap orward o science and technolog in the wenteth Centur . his rich heritage has ancient roots. t was built b accumulatng discoveries with errors, observatons with antasies, m ths, and supersttons with ashes o genius, over a span o millennia, since Homo sapiens, turning his e es to the immutable and per ect sk , began to ask uestons.

he book is a narraton o the answers to these uestons that had evolved over tme a progressive path, inserted in the general histor , with some second thoughts and man obstacles. his is a saga o men and machines where greatness sometmes mi es with miser and passion o en borders on sacrifce and even mart rdom. Wh should we know it ecause our current knowledge is the result o these e orts and o the preconceptons that accompanied them.

he challenge has been to present this comple and intricate sub ect without resortng to an ormulas, so that it can be accessible to a wide audience o curious people, including high school and universit students and in general all those who normall keep themselves in ormed o scientfc things. rich bibliograph has also been added in the appendi or those wishing to learn more on one or more topics.

Descripton

Discontnuous (frst-order) phase transitons consttute the most fundamental and widespread type of structural transitons existng in Nature, forming a large majority of the transitons found in elemental crystals, alloys, inorganic compounds, minerals and complex fuids. Nevertheless, only a small part of them, namely, weakly discontnuous transformatons, were considered by phenomenological theories, leaving aside the most interestng from a theoretcal point of view and the most important for applicaton cases. Discontnuous Phase

Transitons in Condensed Mater introduces a densit wave approach to phase transitons which results in a unifed, s mmetr based, model ree theor o the weak cr stalli aton o molecular mi tures to li uid cr stalline mesophases, strongl discontnuous cr stalli aton rom molten metals and allo s to conventonal, ull segregated cr stals, to aperiodic, uasi cr stalline structures. ssembl o aperiodic closed virus capsids with non cr stallographic s mmetr also alls into the domain o applicabilit o the densit wave approach.

he book also considers the applicabilit domains o the s mmetr based approach in ph sics o low dimensional s stems. t includes comparisons o stabilit o di erent sur ace superstructures and metal monoatomic coverage structures on the sur ace o single cr stalline substrates. he e ample o the twisted graphene bila er demonstrates how parametri aton in the spirit o an advanced phenomenological approach can establish s mmetr controlled, and there ore model ree, links between geometrical parameters o the twisted bila er structure and reconstructon o its rillouin one and energ bands.

Descripton

The year 2020 was a watershed event in the history of climate change politcs. t marked the end o the second commitment period o the K oto Protocol and the beginning o the ambitous Paris greement. t was also the ear o the pandemic, where the disrupton caused severe implicatons on a global scale. he pandemic also brought be ore the world the severit and scale o the transboundar challenges in a globall interconnected world. t e posed the weaknesses o the global insttutons and governance structures in tackling the comple and imminent threat o climate change.

s states prepare or the uture o global climate change negotatons post the C P26 event o 202 , there has been a signifcant shi in the politcs o climate change at all levels. he negotatons took place in the shadows o the pandemic, which has challenged the politcal letharg and non commi al a tudes o states on the climate change ueston.

Unlike in the past, climate change is now a hot issue on the politcal high tables. t has also spilled outside these negotatng spaces and into the public sphere. Whether it is the school strikes led b children or the indigenous struggles o marginali ed populatons, the politcs o climate change toda is ar more diverse, representatve, and actve. t the same tme, we can witness the shi s in the state s understanding o the problem, which is actvel in uiring about its securit and geopolitcal dimensions. he boundaries between traditonal and non traditonal threats to securit are ge ng blurred as climate change, and its m riad impacts wreak havoc on ecos stem resilience, the state s wel are capacit , and people s ever da lives.

Hence, this volume seeks to decipher the nature o global climate change politcs in the post pandemic and climate insecure world. Who will be its main actors, main stakeholders, and losers How will uestons o e uit , sustainabilit , and fnance interpla at the C P26 event and therea er How will developing and poor countries engage with the issue in the ne t phase o climate politcs inall , how will the ambiton o the Paris greement, which is re ected in the language o net ero targets and the two degrees Celsius temperature goals, be brought into acton
