Environmental Statecraft, Fragmented Authoritarianism, and Technocratic Governance: The Structure and Agency of China's Local Environmental Politics

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Local environmental politics in China is often said to be dominated by state‐controlled modes of multi‐level governance. However, top‐down governance is embedded within and transformed by local politics, adding complexity to governance practices and environmental outcomes.

Transformative, Iterative or Performative? Conceptualising Patterns of Fossil Fuel Phaseout Leadership

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global leadership in phasing out fossil fuels is an important new frontier in climate governance, yet remains undertheorised within existing scholarly accounts of climate leadership. In this paper, we argue that ‘phaseout leadership’—climate leadership centred on curtailing fossil fuel supply—is a distinct kind of leadership that dominant ...

Governing Sponge City Transitions: Policy Objectives and Socio‐Technical Change

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In theory, climate adaptation policy cycles can be framed as being harmonized and goal‐oriented governance processes. Yet any examination of climate adaptation in cities reveals persistent tensions between this logic and the diverse forces shaping adaptation in practice.

Next‐Generation Seismic Performance Assessment Through Multi‐Component Ground Motion Compatible Intensifying Artificial Acceleration

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the crucial need for fully quantitative risk assessment of large‐scale structures, their performance is typically assessed through deterministic or semi‐quantitative approaches. The main preventing factor is the computational burden of probabilistic seismic analyses.

Damage Characteristics and Stress Distribution Law of Overburden Rock in Multiple Mining of Close Coal Seams

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study on close coal seams shows that multi‐seam mining increases the height of the fractured zone from approximately 26 m (single upper‐seam mining) to about 49 m. When the lower seam is mined after the extraction of the upper seam, the heights of both the caved zone and the fractured zone increase by approximately two times.
