What is Historical Political Science?

Guangbin Yang

Summary: Political scientists in China and overseas are seeking a new political approach, as the current prevalent perspective of political science is unable to explain or resolve the issues faced by Western and non-Western countries, including China. Historical political science, which is based on the history and culture of each researcher's own country, seeks to explore how historical aspects influence political values, institutions, and behavior, and establishes a connection between current politics and political history.

Spatial and temporal changes of the ecological footprint of China's resource-based cities in the process of urbanization

Jing Wu et al.

Summary: The development of resource-based cities in China is facing the dual pressures of negative externalities and urbanization, leading to ecological deficits at both national and regional levels. The ecological deficits are mainly caused by insufficient biological capacity at the national scale, while at the regional level, they are closely related to local natural and social conditions as well as continued urbanization.

Assessing the contribution of urban green spaces in green infrastructure strategy planning for urban ecosystem conditions and services

On Yi Liu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the contribution of using urban green space components as the basic units in green infrastructure strategy planning for urban ecosystem conditions and services. Through a case study of Cheltenham, a new approach for developing local green infrastructure strategy for urban ecosystem conditions in facing global climate change is presented. The results suggest that changing the composition and spatial arrangement of urban green space components can stimulate synergy or trade-off of various services easily.

How do government policies promote greening? Evidence from China

Dingrao Feng et al.

Summary: The study found that despite local degradation in some areas, China has experienced large-scale greening, with policy-driven afforestation playing a key role. Policies related to agricultural intensification have also contributed to enhanced vegetation cover. Urban greening policies have been effective, as indicated by a 'U-shaped' curve relationship between changes in vegetation cover and urban sprawl. National nature reserve policies and the National Forest Conservation Program have provided stable conditions for natural vegetation growth without negative human disturbance. Government policies have had a clear and positive influence on greening in China in many aspects.
