This book offers a critical assessment of governance ideas in the context of Chinese neoliberalism.

The proliferation of foreign direct investment has raised questions about its impact upon local economies and politics. Here, seven scholars bring together their wide-ranging expertise to investigate the factors that determine the attractiveness of a locale to investors and the extent of their political power.

This book covers the design, synthesis, properties, and applications of functional photoactive soft materials, including aspects of polymers, block copolymers, elastomers, biomaterials, liquid crystals, chemical and physical gels, colloids, and host-guest systems. It combines, in a unified manner, authoritative accounts describing various structural and functional aspects of photoactive soft materials.Photoactive Functional Soft Materials: Preparation, Properties, and Applications:* Brings together the state-of-the-art knowledge on photoactive functional soft materials in a unified manner* Covers a vibrant research field with tremendous application potential in areas such as optoelectronics, photonics, and energy generation* Appeals to a large interdisciplinary audience because it is highly useful for researchers and engineers working on photonics, optoelectronics, imaging and sensing, nanotechnology, and energy materialsPhotoactive Functional Soft Materials: Preparation, Properties and Applications focuses on the design and fabrication of photoactive functional soft materials for materials science, nanophotonics, nanotechnology, and biomedical applications.

Organic semiconductors are attracting tremendous attention since they are cheap, easy to process, and capable of being deposited on flexible substrates and bent, while their inorganic competitors, e.g. crystalline silicon, would crack.

The responsive nature and diversity of liquid crystals provide tremendous opportunities as well as challenges for insights in fundamental science, and opens the door to various applications.
