- Report warns of China's export dependency
A Chinese academic paper published Thursday warns the country is over-reliance on exports, despite its success in warding off the worst effects of the global economic downturn.
The Chinese government had been composed in dealing with the downturn and the Chinese economy had taken the lead in the economic revival, said the report from the Beijing-based Social Sources Academic Press.

As China's economy has greatly expanded over the past three decades, so too has its consumption of energy which mainly comes from coal. Zhang said coal accounts for around 70 percent of China's energy mix, 30 percentage points higher than the world's average.
To have a greener economy, China should trim its dependency on coal and promote greater use of cleaner fuels, he said, referring to nuclear power and wind, solar and biomass energy.

- The cost of climate policy uncertainty | Frank Wolak
Even a modest price for carbon would encourage investment in green jobs and reduce dependency on foreign oil importsAny mention of climate policy was noticeably missing from President Obama's recent state of the union address. This is unfortunate because every day of inaction on climate policy by the United States government is another day that American consumers must pay substantially higher prices for products derived from crude oil, such as gasoline and diesel fuel. Moreover, a substantial fraction of the revenues from these higher prices goes to governments of countries that the US would prefer not to support. So, what is the cost of a single day of delay? US crude oil consumption is approximately 20m barrels per day and roughly 12m barrels per day are imported. An oil price that, because of climate policy uncertainty, is $20 a barrel higher than it would otherwise have been implies that US consumers pay $400m per day more, of which $240m per day is paid to foreign oil producers. Dividing these figures by the United States population implies that every US citizen is paying about $1 per day more for oil – and more than half of that may be going to an unfriendly foreign government.Why does this climate policy price premium exist? It is not due to a dearth of readily available technologies for producing substitutes for conventional oil. A number currently exist that are economic at oil prices significantly below current world prices of $80-90 per barrel. Several even have the potential to scale up to replace a large fraction of US oil consumption.Tar sands and heavy oils, gas-to-liquids and coal-to-liquids are all available to produce substantial amounts of conventional oil substitutes at average costs at or below $60 per barrel. If these technologies were currently in グリーン雇用への投資を奨励するとimportsAny外国産石油への依存を減らすの気候変動政策に言及した炭素も控えめな価格が著しく組合アドレスのオバマ大統領の最近の状態から欠落していました
- Margareta Pagano: Is the nuclear industry dead and buried?
It's taken the nuclear industry more than three decades to shed its toxic image. If you look back to the accidents at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, it's quite extraordinary how nuclear power has gone from being seen as dirty and dangerous to being low-carbon and safe. In no time at all, the nuclear lobby has become one of the most powerful industrial complexes on Earth. What has made this conversion so interesting is the way policy-makers, politicians and even green campaigners bought into the re-branding because of our dependency on expensive and limited fossil fuels but also because nuclear power has been seen as the cleanest and quickest way to cut carbon emissions. これは、その有毒なイメージを払拭し、原子力産業30年以上を調達している
- PNA to tell donors its readiness for statehood declaration
The Palestinian National Authority will present a report to donors about its readiness for a possible declaration of statehood, Palestinian minister of planning said Monday.
The report shows that the PNA succeeded in reducing dependency on foreign aid by 35 percent since 2009, the minister, Ali Al-Jerbawi, said in a statement.
In 2010, government revenues reached 2 billion U.S. dollars, Al-Jerbawi said, adding that this amount broke a record in the PNA's history.

China's oil imports will continue to see solid growth this year, with more than half of the country's total oil consumption coming from abroad, industry insiders said.
It is inevitable for the country - the world's second largest oil consumer - to see a robust increase of imports, as domestic production cannot keep up with rising demand, they said.

- Every penny we give in aid to Africa must be made to count
International development secretary Andrew Mitchell has a budget ringfenced against cuts – but he will be under intense pressure to deliver resultsThe point of aid is to make aid redundant. So said Gordon Brown on his return to the political arena at the weekend. Speaking at a meeting of the African Union in Kampala, the former prime minister insisted that western donors shoul d keep the promises they have made to the world's poor but understand what development assistance was for. The point of aid was to kickstart business-led growth, not replace it.Brown's intervention was timely. The budgetary constraints facing rich nations in the aftermath of the financial crisis mean all governments will be forced to take a hard look at how much they are spending on aid, what they are spending it on and why they are spending it in the first place.The critics of aid will ensure that this takes place. They argue that too much aid is pocketed by corrupt elites. They argue that a good chunk of western financial assistance is wasted even when it doesn't find its way into numbered Swiss bank accounts. Above all, they argue that aid encourages a dependency culture. On all three counts, there is a case to answer.In Britain, the debate is already hotting up, in no small part due to the legacy left by Brown to David Cameron. Labour enshrined in law a commitment to raise UK aid spending to 0.7% of GDP by 2013, a pledge that would involve the budget of the Department for International Development (DfID) increasing by more than 10% a year. Cameron, in opposition, said he would stick by the 0.7% target, making international development one of only two areas of spending ringfenced against cuts.That makes Andrew Mitchell, the current development secretary, both a lucky and a marked man.Lucky beca 国際開発秘書アンドリューミッチェル予算を削減に対するringfencedている - しかし、彼は強烈な圧力援助のresultsTheポイントを提供することで援助が冗長にすることですされます

- Bus cuts drive Americans back to cars | Sasha Abramsky
The BP oil spill may make people reconsider their dependency on cars – but budget cuts are limiting public transport optionsJust at the moment when the Deepwater Horizon BP oil spill has generated two months of non-stop headlines about the dangers of oil dependency and the federal government in America finally has something of a platform to call for Americans to wean themselves off oil dependency, cities, counties and states across the US are decimating their public transit systems and forcing people, willy-nilly, to return to their cars.In most countries, one might expect fiscal collapse to lead to more people taking public transport. After all, while buses, trams, light rail, and underground systems are less convenient than private vehicle usage, and while using such systems oftentimes involves sharing one's environs with too many people and too many competing body odours, at least it's cheaper than filling up one's car with gas and driving miles each day. Utilising public transport is a sensible, relatively painless way to penny pinch.But, in America, at least in part because public transport has not, in recent years, won the hearts and minds of the politically influential classes in many regions of the country, these systems are peculiarly vulnerable to cuts during the down-times. In fact, a poll released in early April by the Economist indicated that, faced with declining government revenues, more than twice as many Americans would want federal public transit subsidies cut versus reductions to highways expenditures. At a local level, too, many Americans' relationship to public transit systems is tendentious at best. And hence the tragic irony: as local governments continue to haemorrhage revenues, and thus have to look for evermore ways to tighten their belts, so p BPの石油流出事故は、人々は、車への依存度を再考することができる - しかし、予算削減は瞬間ディープウォーターホライゾンBPの石油流出事故は、石油依存性と連邦政府の危険性について、ノンストップの見出し2ヶ月が生成され公共交通機関のoptionsJustを制限しているアメリカでは最終的に公共交通システムを強制的に人々が行き当たりばったりデシメーションされ、そのcars.Inにほとんどの国を返すためのプラットフォームのようなものをアメリカ人のため全米石油への依存、都市、郡、州自体をオフに離脱するために呼び出す必要があります、1つのより多くの人の公共交通機関を取るにつながる財政崩壊を期待することがあります
- Time to act on tax transparency | Richard Murphy
Country-by-country tax reporting would help developing regions break their aid dependency – but the IASB is against proposalsSomething quite extraordinary is happening in the world of accountancy. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that sets the rules on accounting for most of the world is considering a proposal for a new accounting standard put to it by civil society. This has never happened before.The proposal is for a cut-down version of what is called country-by-country reporting. That concept is explained here, as are the benefits. The cut-down version, explained in chapter six of this IASB document, is more modest. As a first step towards full country-by-country reporting, campaign group Publish What You Pay (PWYP) has asked for country-by-country reporting to apply to just the extractive industries for now. That term applies to those companies that are engaged in the oil, gas and mining sectors.What PWYP asks for is disclosure in the published accounts of multinational corporations engaged in the extractive industries of a breakdown of the sums they pay by way of taxes and similar charges to the countries that host their extraction activities. It also asks for disclosure of additional relevant information such as total sales by country, costs by country and reserves by country as well as the name of all local subsidiary companies so that the reasonableness of payments made and the legal identity of the local companies paying them can be determined.The intention of the proposal is clear. PWYP, the Tax Justice Network and others who are behind this demand want multinational corporations working in this sector to be accountable for paying the tax that those in civil society believe they should pay to the societies that grant them the opportunity to 国別の税レポートは、援助の依存関係を断ち切るの開発途上地域に役立つだろう - しかし、IASBはproposalsSomethingかなり異常反対している会計の世界で起こっている

- Fox's mistaken view of Afghanistan needs correction | Nushin Arbabzadah
Liam Fox's comments on '13th-century' Afghanistan show a failure to understand its problems are contemporary by natureThe recent comment from Britain's new defence secretary, Liam Fox, describing Afghanistan as a broken country stuck in the 13th century, has offended Afghan officials, triggering responses that are equally off the mark factually and diplomatically fruitless.The throwaway remark by the British minister is surprising. After all, by contrast to their US counterparts, British officials tend to be well-travelled and worldly, reducing the risk of clumsy and offensive remarks about foreign countries. Besides, traditionally, there are cultural norms in the UK that endorse the practice of commonsense and tempering one's comments when speaking in public.But it appears that outbursts with potential to create unnecessary tension are becoming more widespread globally, and constant exposure to the media spotlight appears to also have increased the chance of public figures being caught saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Given that, in recent decades, the world has become more sensitive to the necessity of mutual respect between richer and poorer countries, the British minister's comments are unfortunate, marking a return to old-fashioned values that no longer have a place in today's interconnected, globalised world of mutual interdependency.Be that as it may, aside from reflecting a lack of cultural sensitivity, Fox's comment is also an echo of his poor understanding of the root causes of the crisis in Afghanistan. It has nothing to do with the 13th century and is very much linked to the social and political trends of the contemporary era.To begin with, the cold-war rivalry between two powerful, antagonistic industrialised empires that initiated the crisis in Af 。。u0026#39;13th世紀のアフガニスタンのリアムフォックスのコメントは失敗、その問題を理解するには、showは、現代的な英国の新しい国防長官、リアムフォックスからnatureThe最近のコメント、壊れた国13世紀で立ち往生、アフガニスタンを記述する、アフガニスタン当局は、トリガ怒らている同じようにマークをオフ事実、イギリス大臣外交fruitless.The使い捨て発言され、応答は驚くべきことである
- After Sir Fred Goodwin, Tony Hayward – time to tame the boardroom titans
Companies like BP have more power than ever before – but there is a democratic deficit at the core of their governanceThe transatlantic diplomatic pugilism over BP is only part of a much bigger story. The crisis has laid bare how our dangerous dependency on oil has led companies into ever riskier forms of extraction; unless we wean ourselves off this addiction more disasters seem inevitable. Deepwater has also exposed another dangerous dependency in which we are all complicit: our blind reliance on Tony Hayward, Sir Fred Goodwin and other corporate titans to provide for our welfare in old age.The environment is fragile, and so are our pensions. BP accounts for £1 in every £7 of British pension funds' dividend income, and 40% of its dividend payments go to US investors, including state pension funds for teachers and other public servants. Its innocent victims are not just fishermen in Louisiana, but grandmothers from Texas to Torbay. Big oil has supplanted big banking as the dominant element in pension portfolios. The flow of dividends from finance stalled in the credit crisis and if BP suspends its payment as expected the oil income will fall too.As state provision is rolled back, our collective reliance on the stockmarket has increased. The problem is that most of us have little idea what Hayward, Goodwin et al are up to, and less control. It has taken the banking meltdown and now Deepwater for the people running the world's biggest companies to subjected to serious scrutiny, and the two crises have revealed a gaping vacuum of accountability at the top of the corporate tree.The most powerful man on the planet, Barack Obama, has made it clear that he would like to eject Tony Hayward from the chief executive's suite at BP, but he has no power to do so.

New figures from the NHS National Treatment Agency show the number of teenagers in England being treated for drug dependency, by regionNew figures from the National Treatment Agency for Substance Misuse (NTA) show the number of young people in England receiving support for drug dependency, by region. A few weeks ago we published the NHS National Treatment Agency for Substance Misuse's (NTA) latest statistics on the number of under-18s in England who are in treatment for drug and alcohol misuse.Today the NTA has released the 2009 figures by region, showing the number of young people receiving support for substance misuse in each area, the primary drugs and the outcome of support and treatment. The release coincides with the launch of a new Guardian microsite, in conjunction with the NTA, aimed at promoting recovery and reintegration for former drug users. According to the data, the north west had the highest number of children being treated for drug dependency over the past year - 4,916 - half of whom were over 16 and most of whom were male. The primary drug there, as in all the English regions, was cannabis, followed by alcohol. The vast majority of patients in all regions completed their treatment for drug misuse, with only a small minority dropping out or going to prison.Check out the tables below or download the spreadsheet for the full data.What do you think?
