"This book explores from an aesthetic perspective how mobile phone technology, including mobile phone cameras, are used, and the impact this has on individual creativity and innovation, and on culture, sociality and aesthetics.

Bilingual dossier of the Executive and Legislative Councillors in 1992. Besides the usual information one picks up on their individual profiles which often appear in the printed media, the contact telephone numbers, office and residential addresses are provided. The most interesting feature is perhaps the leading politicians' positions on important public issues in the past decade. In view of the rapid shifts and turns of the politician's stands on public policies in recent years, the publication offers a useful index with dates. (DÜI-Alb)

"A key objective of China's reform program was to reduce distortions in the economic system and enhance growth. However, when implemented in incremental and partial ways, local governments or individuals have chance to capture rents inherent in the reform process. Young (2000) warned that the rent-seeking behavior might lead to increasing market fragmentation. Empirical studies have since shown that this did not happen in the product markets. In this paper we argue that as rents from the product markets were squeezed out during the reform process, rent-seeking behavior shifted to the factor markets, especially the capital and land markets. The reform process now needs to be deepened to ensure that the factor markets also become more integrated and efficient." -- Authors' Abstract ; IFPRI3; GRP3; GRP32; Theme 9; Markets and Trade ; DSGD ; Non-PR
