Item Carbon Management in China: The Effects of Decentralization and PrivatizationLewis, Steven W.; James A. Baker III Institute for Public PolicyItem China and Energy Security in Asia(James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy) Lewis, Steven W.; James A. Baker III Institute for Public PolicyChina's energy policies, and thus her energy security strategies, are largely decentralized.Item China's Maritime DisputesLewis, Steven W.; James A. Baker III Institute for Public PolicySteve Lewis, Baker Institute C.V. Starr Transnational China Fellow, testified before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission on April 4, 2013, in Washington. The topic: China's maritime disputes in the East and South China Seas. Lewis specifically addressed the energy drivers of the maritime disputes, drawing from the instituteメs collective research on the development of China's energy economy, which institute fellows and scholars have studied since 1998.ᅠItem China's Oil Diplomacy and Relations with the Middle East(James A.

Asian Legislatures(2014-04-22) Jang, Jinhyeok; Jones, Mark P.; Martin, Lanny; Carroll, Royce A.; Lewis, Steven W.This dissertation project explores how institutions have shaped dimensional structure in East Asian legislatures, including Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan in the past two decades. The major issues dividing the left and right in East Asia are not about economic in nature, but rather structured by legislators' preferences vis-\`a-vis democratization and the relationship with Beijing in Hong Kong, the geo-security issue in South Korea, and the Taiwanese or Chinese identity issue in Taiwan. This dissertation provides either the first or some of the very first empirical evidence of the dimensional structure of the three East Asian politics. By drawing from the literature on political parties, electoral laws, and legislative agenda dynamics, my dissertation also explains how legislators facing different institutional incentives align differently either with or against the main political cleavage.Item Energy Security in Northeast Asia: The Potential for Cooperation Among the Major Energy Consuming Economies of China, Japan and the United States(James A.

Baker III Institute for Public PolicyScientific research increasingly requires international collaboration among scientists. Less is known, however, about the barriers that impede such collaboration. In this pioneering study, more than 9000 scientists from eight societies – the United States, the United Kingdom, India, Italy, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Turkey, and France – were surveyed to gauge scientists’ attitudes and experiences. While most scientists claimed international collaboration was important, their actual participation in such collaborations was much lower. We identified the prevalence rates of three types of barriers (political, logistical, and cultural) based on categories developed from previous work. In addition, we identified nine additional categories of barriers. Key barriers to collaboration that scientists identified included lack of funding for international work, restrictions on material and data sharing, and differences in academic standards. Respondents also complained about bias against scholars from emerging or developing countries. Our study highlights areas where efforts could be made to address policy issues, institutional barriers, and national biases to promote more productive collaboration in the global scientific community.Item Liquefied Natural Gas from Indonesia: The Arun Projectvon der Mehden, Fred R.; Lewis, Steven W.; James A.

Baker III Institute for Public PolicyScientists have long been associated with religion’s decline around the world. But little data permit analysis of the religiosity of scientists or their perceptions of the science-faith interface. Here we present the first ever survey data from biologists and physicists in eight regions around the world—France, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Taiwan, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States, countries and regions selected because they exhibit differing degrees of religiosity, varying levels of scientific infrastructure, and unique relationships between religious and state institutions (N = 9,422). The data collection includes biologists and physicists at all career stages from elite and non-elite universities and research institutes. We uncovered that in most of the national contexts studied, scientists are indeed more secular—in terms of beliefs and practices—than those in their respective general populations, although in four of the regional contexts, over half of scientists see themselves as religious. And surprisingly, scientists do not think science is in conflict with religion. Instead, most see religion and science as operating in separate spheres.Item Resetting and Reengaging U.S.-China Soft Power RelationsLewis, Steven W.; James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy
