description: Sorbents are promising materials for applications in atmospheric water harvesting, thermal energy storage, and passive cooling, thereby addressing central challenges related to water scarcity and the global energy transition. Recently, hygroscopic hydrogel composites have emerged as high-performance sorbents. However, many of these systems are fabricated with unsustainable and costly sorbent materials, which hinders their wide deployment. Here, the synthesis of high-performance, cost-efficient polyacrylamide hydrogels loaded with unprecedented amounts of calcium chloride is demonstrated. To this end, the swelling procedure of polyacrylamide hydrogels in aqueous calcium chloride solutions is optimized. The achievable salt loading in the hydrogel is characterized as a function of temperature, calcium chloride concentration in the swelling solution, and the hydrogel preparation conditions. The obtained hydrogel-salt composites are shown to be stable under repeated sorption-desorption cycling and enable water uptakes of 0.92 and 2.38 grams of water per gram of dry materials at 30% and 70% relative humidity, respectively. The resulting cost-performance ratio substantially exceeds lithium chloride-based systems. Further, the mechanistic insights on hydrogel salt interactions can guide the design of sustainable and low-cost sorbent materials for future applications in water and energy.
Il lavoro “a chiamata” e le piattaforme online della collaborative economy:  nozioni e tipi legali in cerca di tutele

description: L’articolo offre un quadro delle più recenti tendenze del mercato del lavoro legate all’economia digitale. Sono passati in rassegna il crowd-employment e il lavoro a chiamata via piattaforma online, articolazioni flessibili della prestazione presso operatori digitali che facilitano l’incontro di domanda e offerta di lavoro. Al fine di inquadrare i servizi resi dalle piattaforme in una cornice legislativa nazionale e sovranazionale, si descrivono le prime iniziative regolatorie in materia (specificatamente, la Comunicazione sulla Collaborative Economy della Commissione Europea e la proposta di legge italiana sulla Sharing Economy). Si renderà conto della giurisprudenza che si è sviluppata nei confronti del servizio di mobilità condivisa Uber, analizzando in particolare il caso spagnolo, quello italiano e, da ultimo, quello britannico.

Ci si rivolgerà con occhio critico all’armamentario lavoristico per valutarne l’eventuale obsolescenza ovvero apprezzarne l’attualità. Si descriveranno per sommi capi gli sviluppi dell’antico dibattito sulla necessità di attrezzare nuove categorie (ad esempio, un tertium genus tra lavoro autonomo e lavoro subordinato) per rispondere alle esigenze di un mercato in trasformazione. La pluridecennale esperienza italiana della parasubordinazione, pur nella sua “peculiare anomalia”, rappresenterà il metro di paragone: se ne tratteggerà l’evoluzione, per concentrare l’attenzione sul portato del comma 1 dell’art. 2 del d.lgs. 81/2015 (i.e. le collaborazioni organizzate dal committente).

Infine, si avanzerà una proposta di disciplina della cosiddetta “gig-economy”, tentando una riconciliazione tra le formule contrattuali atipiche e l’apparato normativo vigente, con particolare riferimento agli innesti legislativi introdotti dal pacchetto del “Jobs Act”. In particolare, s’individuerà una buona soluzione di politica del diritto nel processo di estensione automatica degli effetti dello statuto protettivo tipico della subordinazione ai lavoratori economicamente o organizzativamente dipendenti.

description: Il presente articolo approfondisce come le recenti trasformazioni tecnologiche abbiano contribuito ai profondi cambiamenti sociali e dei modelli di consumo e allo sviluppo della “nuova economia”. Alcuni degli approcci più recenti, fondati su basi economicistiche, propongono il ripensamento dei paradigmi tradizionali per dare contezza di come si sviluppano le relazioni tra gli “utenti” nell’economia digitale. Per verificare la validità di tali postulati, l’autrice si addentra nello studio dei rapporti di produzione all’interno dell’impresa Uber e delle condizioni di lavoro dei suoi “riders”, che tuttavia sono lavoratori subordinati.

Allo stesso tempo, approfondisce la qualificazione giuridica di tali rapporti, le condizioni di lavoro applicate ai lavoratori e l’elevato livello di controllo esercitato su di essi dalle piattaforme digitali. Questi argomenti conducono l’A. alla conclusione di una mercificazione del lavoro nei casi oggetto di disamina e della prevalenza della logica economicistica sui diritti sociali. Infine, poggiandosi su tali basi, l’A. si oppone a quelle ricostruzioni che propongono un ripensamento dei paradigmi tradizionali del lavoro, che non sono di validità generale all’interno della nuova economia, posto che le teorie sul valore e sull’alienazione continuano ad essere valide per molti dei lavoratori della “new-economy”, come nel caso Uber e in altri casi similari.

title: Economic plans and the evolution of economic nationalism in Siam in the 1930s.
Creators: name: Nanbara, Makoto
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1998

description: This thesis is concerned with the economic plans of Siam and the evolution of economic nationalism in Siam in the 1930s, but particularly the period from the overthrow of the absolute monarchy in June 1932. The opening chapter outlines the main themes of the thesis. Chapter 2 provides an outline of the main features of the Siamese economy In the 1920s and 1930s, and examines the main analyses by Thai and foreign scholars of the origins of Siamese economic underdevelopment. Chapter 3 is concerned with the economic plans of Mangkorn Samsen, Pridi and Phra Sarasas, while chapter 4 is concerned with a number of the less important economic plans introduced at that time. These plans were submitted by various groups, not only the Siamese elite but also the middle class. Chapter 5 examines more analytically all these plans, in the context of the evolution of economic nationalism in the inter-war decades. There are three views on the origin of economic nationalism in Siam: that it developed in the reign of Rama 6 (1910-1925), in the constitutional revolution in 1932, or as part of Phibun's nationalism in 1939. These views ignore the relationship between the three periods of economic nationalism. This study shows the continuity and discontinuity in economic nationalism between these periods. Chapter 5 further examines the role of the middle class. Chapter 6 considers the development of the co-operative movement in Siam from 1917, while chapter 7 focuses on the various plans and proposals in this period to establish a central bank. Chapter 8 is the conclusion.
title: On the competitiveness, emergence and regional links of financial centres.
Creators: name: Fattouh, Bassam
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1999

description: The purposes of this thesis are first, to provide a general framework to analyse the location of financial activity, second, to study the emergence and evolution of banking centres centres and finally, to test empirically several hypotheses related to banking centres and their links with regional economies. In the first part of the thesis, we examine the impact of information asymmetry on the degree of centralisation of banking activity by incorporating spatial factors in a model of credit rationing. We next discuss the main factors that push bank to locate near each other and explore how pecuniary externalities in the form of backward and forward linkages can generate a powerful agglomeration force in the banking industry. We also analyse the path dependence process in financial centres and the conditions under which this process can be broken. In the second part of the thesis, we make an important contribution to the literature by providing an original theoretical framework to explain the emergence and evolution of banking centres. Unlike the existing literature which attributes the emergence of banking centres only to differences in regulatory and tax structure or other inherent geographical attributes, our model emphasises the importance of economies of scale in financial intermediation as being the major determinant of emergence. This allows for an element of indeterminacy in the model and hence other factors such as historical chance or "first mover" advantage can play an important role in determining which country emerges as a financial centre. The theoretical framework is then extended to examine the evolution of cross border banking over time and the determinants of the nature of banking systems; issues which remain unexplored in the literature on banking centres. In the last part of the thesis, we provide an empirical analysis on the main determinants of banks' location using new data series and a novel empirical approach which takes into account the major features of banking centres. Finally, we provide a novel empirical analysis of the links between banking centres' financial development and regional economic activity, using Hong Kong as a study case.

description: La sociedad actual está planteando de forma permanente nuevos retos en la economía, la política, el derecho y las relaciones sociales. Las nuevas formas de trabajo en la Red, la descentralización productiva, la dificultad de identificar a los sujetos de estas relaciones o la multitud indeterminada a la que van dirigidos muchos de estos trabajos están alterando los elementos tradicionales del Derecho del Trabajo.

La subordinación, cada vez mayor del Derecho del Trabajo al Derecho al Empleo y éste a la economía, están afectando de forma muy directa a la empleabilidad de los trabajadores, exigiéndose cada vez más un adecuada cualificación que garantice su movilidad en un mercado cada vez más cambiante y complejo. El trabajo y en concreto las políticas de empleo no son ajenos a este fenómeno viéndose en la necesidad de adoptar medidas que garanticen el sistema productivo tradicional y a su vez faciliten el desarrollo de los nuevos modelos organizativos y de empresa. Nos movemos en una sociedad de la información donde la innovación y la comunicación son los pilares fundamentales de su desarrollo y exigen una acción positiva de los Estados que facilite la integración y la cohesión social entre todos sus ciudadanos.

Las políticas activas de empleo han de ser la respuesta a estos nuevos retos, debiendo ser la cualificación profesional a través de la evaluación y acreditación de las competencias profesionales del trabajador su primer y principal eje vertebrador. Por otra parte, en un mercado globalizado en el que cada vez, con mayor frecuencia, el trabajo dependiente está cediendo espacio ante el trabajo autónomo, el emprendimiento se presenta como otro de los instrumentos para el empleo sobre el que hay que actuar entendiéndolo, no solo como autoempleo, sino fomentando e impulsando la iniciativa empresarial, en especial la de carácter innovador, creativo y competitivo.

Dentro del emprendimiento una de sus iniciativas es el acompañamiento empresarial a través de la incubación, tutorización y técnicas aceleradoras que permiten convertir ideas de negocio en proyectos empresariales reales, coordinando el análisis de viabilidad y el plan de empresa. Un ejemplo de esta actividad impulsora de ideas y proyectos empresariales es la que se desarrolla en el espacio crowdworking-El Cubo en el marco de Andalucía Open Future.

title: Writing and identity in the short stories of Sidaoru'ang (1975-1990).
Creators: name: Harrison, Rachel V.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1995

description: This thesis makes the theoretical assumption that literary analysis will consider the interraction between the reader, the writer and the texts. The Introduction explains the significance of Sidaoru'ang and her short story writing in the context of contemporary Thai literature and of academic studies of the literature of South East Asia. It discusses some problems in addressing the various audiences who may find this work of interest. In addition it outlines the theoretical approach taken in this study. Chapter One discusses Sidaoru'ang's own personal background, defining the significant events and influences which led her to begin writing short stories in the 1970s. Chapter Two provides synopses and an analysis of Sidaoru'ang's short stories published in the initial stage of her literary career, between 1975 and 1976. It sets these works in the context of her own development as a writer and within the troubled political climate in which she was working. Chapter Three examines the effects of the aftermath of October 6, 1976 on Sidaoru'ang's fiction. It goes on to discuss the broadening range of themes with which Sidaoru'ang began to deal as her interests moved away from political activism and towards the family and motherhood. Chapter Four attests to a much stronger identity in Sidaoru'ang herself, both resulting from, and conveyed in, her writing. In this period of her career, from 1983-1986, her major concern lies with themes of isolation and incarceration, silencing and suppression, sexual inequality and madness. Chapter Five concentrates largely upon the highly experimental form of Sidaoru'ang's writing during the 1987-1990 period of her work. As a result of having consolidated her literary career Sidaoru'ang's stories demonstrate a more playful and experimental approach to themes which have interested her since the 1980s. In conclusion this thesis asserts that the relationship between Sidaoru'ang's own identity and her short story writing is one of complex interdependence. The act of writing serves the purpose of allowing Sidoaru'ang to assert herself in an environment very different from the one in which she originated; and her short stories themselves are often investigations of highly personal issues which contribute to the consolidation of her identity. Appendices include a detailed list of the publishing history of each of Sidaoru'ang's short stories, a list of literary awards made to Sidaoru'ang, and translations into English of four of her texts, one from each period of her work delineated in Chapters Two-Five.
title: An information-based theory of topics and grammatical relations.
Creators: name: Gregory, Howard A. O.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1999

description: This dissertation proposes a formal semantic characterization of topichood and an account of the relationship between Topic and core Grammatical Relations. The theoretical framework employed is a form of HPSG (Pollard & Sag (1994)). The notion of Topic has been widely invoked in descriptions both of sentence structure and of intersentential discourse relations. Despite this a formal characterization of this notion is lacking in the literature. It is proposed here that Topics should be seen as predication targets at an underlying semantic level, and that the Topic-Comment relation is analogous to that between possible worlds (situations) and the propositional contents which they support. A Topic is interpreted as a point whose location has to be fixed in some conceptual space formed by the Comments, and this metaphor is extended to the overall Topic of a discourse sequence. Formally, it is suggested that Topics and Comments can be treated as the points and open sets respectively of a topological space. It is claimed that this captures well-known semantic restrictions on which NPs can be made Topics of a sentence. The proposed treatment is also extended to intersentential Topic relations. This account of Topics is made the basis of a revision to the relational hierarchy, which underlies many relational theories of grammar. It is proposed that basic predicates in language are maximally binary and sensitive to topichood, their initial Subject being the default predication target or Topic. Predicates of greater valency are treated as composite, and the effects of the relational hierarchy are derived from rules governing the process of composition. A number of cross-linguistic phenomena are examined which bear on the relationship between Topics and core Grammatical Relations, including the double Subject constructions characteristic of Japanese and other East Asian languages, the clitic doubling of Objects which is an areal phenomenon of the Balkans, and the so called "Object agreement" of Amharic. Finally a chapter is devoted to the nature of Indirect Objects, which are argued (against standard views) to rank above Direct Objects. It is claimed that with this approach an important part of the relational basis of syntax can be derived, without losing descriptive accuracy, from the proposed treatment of predication.
title: Sufism and curing.
Creators: name: Lucas, J.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1985

description: This thesis is primarily concerned with the relationship between Sufism and curing. Other topics necessary to the understanding of this main area are additionally considered: an introduction is provided to Sufism per se, as an expression of Islamic mysticism; there is a consideration of the role of emotion in Sufism and particularly of love, which is also discussed with relevance to Middle Eastern society; then the main body of the thesis deals with the subject of Sufism and healing. This introduction explores theology and the history of Sufism, and also anthropologists' views of Sufism and its ritual. The chapter on emotion is included as a necessary comment on one aspect of the causation of psychiatric problems: emotionality. The main subject of the thesis guides this inclusion, as it explores in detail the healing of psychiatric illness by Sufis in the Middle East and North India, beginning with a discussion of Islamic cosmology and of psychiatric illness and spirit possession, and progressing on to consider the model of Sufism as psychotherapy. This explores the central notion of Sufism and curing with some comparisons with other types of indigenous psychiatric healing. Lastly baraka, that particularly Islamic notion of 'grace', 'blessing' or 'Spiritual power' is examined, as it is upon baraka's existence that Sufi healing power is based.
title: Evaluation and management of renewable land resources in NE Iraq.
Creators: name: Nasser, M. H.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1986

description: In the north-east region of Iraq, special physical and institutional conditions have governed the use of the land resources. Both the physical environment and the socioeconomic structures have imposed great constraints on the management of agriculture and the land resources. The uneven terrain of the majority of the region is responsible for the generally poor soil conditions and substandard farm operations. Political instability, low management skills and depressed rural income have further inhibited enterprise and hindered improvement and conservation of the environment. In choosing a method for evaluating the land resources for rainfed agriculture and grazing, the FAO approach was selected. Fundamental to this approach is that a value (suitability class) given to a land unit is relevant only in relation to a clearly defined use. In view of the scarcity of data, difficulties associated with field verification and lack of detailed background surveys, broad (reconnaissance) inventories of the resources have been prepared, permitting the selection of possible future areas of development and of management priorities. In this method, the land resources have been appraised on an essentially qualitative basis, and economic analysis was carried out in general terras. Affected by erratic and sometimes insufficient rainfall, the agricultural lands of the region are largely under an extensive and traditional mode of rainfed agriculture. Driven primarily by considerations of survival, inputs in agriculture are minimised, and pressures for self- sufficiency have jeopardised chances of obtaining a high level of marketable surplus. Equally constrained are the region's grazing activities. In the absence of controls on utilisation, firm tenure and modern technology, the vegetation and soil fertility have progressively deteriorated, while farmers continue to increase their stocks to meet demand for livestock products in excess of available pasture. The study concludes with a commentary on the management options for the region, with a view to achieving a better standard of utilisation of the renewable land resources for the two major agricultural sectors in the north-east region, rainfed agriculture and grazing.

description: Multivariate time series forecasting with hierarchical structure is pervasive in real-world applications, demanding not only predicting each level of the hierarchy, but also reconciling all forecasts to ensure coherency, i.e., the forecasts should satisfy the hierarchical aggregation constraints. Moreover, the disparities of statistical characteristics between levels can be huge, worsened by non-Gaussian distributions and non-linear correlations. To this extent, we propose a novel end-to-end hierarchical time series forecasting model, based on conditioned normalizing flow-based autoregressive transformer reconciliation, to represent complex data distribution while simultaneously reconciling the forecasts to ensure coherency. Unlike other state-of-the-art methods, we achieve the forecasting and reconciliation simultaneously without requiring any explicit post-processing step. In addition, by harnessing the power of deep model, we do not rely on any assumption such as unbiased estimates or Gaussian distribution. Our evaluation experiments are conducted on four real-world hierarchical datasets from different industrial domains (three public ones and a dataset from the application servers of Alipay's data center) and the preliminary results demonstrate efficacy of our proposed method.

title: A study of analogical change : Vowel alternation in the verb in the Low German and Dutch dialects.
Creators: name: Knott, J. M.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1985

description: The purpose of the thesis is to identify the analogical changes which have occurred within a large body of data, and to reduce these changes to a small number of types. Equally importantly, certain conceivable types of change which do not occur will be specified. To this end, the thesis investigates the history of various types of alternation affecting the root vowels of verbs in the Low German, Dutch and Flemish dialects (using data collected from grammars of approximately 80 such dialects). Particular attention is paid to the levelling of alternations and the replacement of one alternation by another. The first three chapters deal with certain important preliminaries. Chapter 1 contains an introduction to the data, followed by a brief account of the methodology employed, and the aims of the thesis. Chapter 2 discusses markedness theory, and its relevance to analogical change. Chapter 3 deals with aspects of the historical phonology of the dialects, from Proto-Germanic onwards, which are important for the subsequent discussion of the alternations. The next three chapters are each devoted to one of the types of alternation. In chapter 4 the history of the ablaut alternations is examined, from Pre-OS to the modern dialects. Chapter 5 deals with the "ej-raising" and umlaut alternations; and chapter 6 traces the development of alternations in vowel length. In the final two chapters, conclusions are drawn from the preceding discussion. Chapter 7 briefly considers the characteristics of the different types of alternations, and the relationships between them. In chapter 8, an analysis of the analogical changes observed in the data is attempted. Within the two broad categories of interparadigmatic and intraparadigmatic change, various types of change are isolated, their characteristic features are identified, and their motivation is discussed.

title: The influence of physical environment upon Arabian life and institutions.
Creators: name: Inayatullah, S.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London

description: The term 'physical Environment,' in relation to the Arabs, covers the climatic and other physico-geographic features of their homeland in respect of their directive and formative influences upon their life. Such features include the position of Arabia in relation to other lands; its relief and landscape; the nature of its soil; its climate (temperature, rainfall, etc.); its hydrography (system of drainage); its vegetation, etc. etc. These conditions of climate and physical environment form the chief basic factors in the evolution of the Arabs. They have influenced more or less their economic activity, their social and political organization; their physical and mental development and the general character and status of their material civilization. The problem of environmental influences thus resolves itself into a number of special problems. The varied economic activity of the pastoral nomads and settled agriculturists has a definite corresponding physico-geographic basis. Their economic development has in each case been further affected by the control of climatic conditions over the distribution of the animal and vegetable life, which they exploit. Environmental influences are also manifest in the primary elements of their material culture, viz. in the matter of their food, clothing, dwelling and general equipment, since man, especially it a low grade of civilization, satisfies his needs with what he finds around him. The physique of the Arabs and their general state of health have also been influenced by the geographical conditions, through the character and amount of food available for consumption and the salubrity or otherwise of their land. The social and political conditions of Arabia have been affected through the effect of its natural characteristics upon the measure of the stability of its inhabitants and of their cooperation and cohesion. The main features of the political life of the arabs become fully intelligible only when studied in relation to the physical conditions of their land. In the thesis now presented, the principles of human geography have been, for the first time, consistently applied to several aspects of Arabian life, and new light is in consequence shed upon the causes and inter-relations of a large number of facts, most of which, though already known, have not hitherto been studied from tine viewpoint of environmental influence.
title: Ramanaija's conception of the Deity.
Creators: name: Kumarappa, B.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1930

description: In the General Introduction a brief sketch of Remilinuja's life is given concluding with a few remarks which introduce Part I and II of the thesis. Part I attempts to survey the many forces which contributed to Ramanuja's view of the Deity, and accordingly deals in Chapter I with the conception at the Deity in the Upanisads, in Chapter II with that in the Bhagavad-gita, in Chapter III with the conception of the Deity in Pancaratra and Puranic literature, and in Chapter IV with the religion of the alvars. Each of these chapters falls naturally into three sections, the first dealing with the Nature of the Deity, the second with the relation of the Deity to the world, and the third with the relation of the Deity to the finite self. Part Ilk concerns itself with Ramanuja's view of the Deity. It is introduced by a few remarks regarding the place which Ramanuja assigns to empirical reason in matters pertaining to the Deity. The three chapters into which this Part is divided correspond with the three sections above enumerated, and deal with the same three topics.
title: Estates and plantations in Java, 1812-1834.

description: In the early nineteenth century there was a great deal of discussion in Dutch colonial circles as to the role which might be played by private European landowners and planters in the exploitation of Java's resources. Until the end of Dutch East India Company rule in 1808 there were few private estates owned by Europeans and few private European planters operating in the colony. However, large-scale land sales between 1808 and 1813, a more permissive attitude towards the settlement of European planters, and the high price paid for colonial produce on the European market at the close of the Napoleonic wars combined to alter this situation in a radical fashion. By the eighteen twenties private European landowners and planters were engaged in growing coffee, sugar and indigo, and there appeared to be a prospect that their efforts would provide the answer to the need of the Dutch colonial authorities to make Java productive of exportable produce. However, many of these private ventures ran into difficulties. In the case of coffee, the European landowners and planters encountered a formidable rival in the Indies government, which ran extensive coffee plantations itself, and which saw its position threatened by private competition. In the case of sugar and indigo, it was falling prices and a shortage of both capital and labour which combined to undermine the commercial basis of such ventures. By 1830 the private estates of West Java had largely gone over to growing rice for sale in the island itself. In the East Java littoral European planters continued to grow sugar and indigo for the export-market, but were faced with increasing difficulties. There is room for a variety of opinion here, but it may at least be suggested that they were only able to stay in business because of the help which they received from the Indies government and from the semi-official Netherlands Trading Society, It was against this background that in 1830 the government itself began to organise the large-scale production of exportable produce. The private estates and plantations, temporarily at least, moved into the background.

description: Nel saggio si esaminano le disposizioni del Regolamento UE n.2016/679, che entreranno in vigore nel 2018, evidenziando quale sarà il loro impatto sulla tutela della protezione dei dati personali per i lavoratori dipendenti.

Nell’analisi l’Autrice chiarisce la portata rivoluzionaria della riforma analizzandone le principali novità. Le nuove norme impongono al datore di lavoro, titolare del trattamento, una preventiva analisi e valutazione dei rischi con l’assistenza di nuove figure, nonché l’obbligo di definire e adottare misure “adeguate” per la protezione della privacy, con un sistema sanzionatorio pesantemente irrigidito.

Nelle conclusioni si ritiene che la protezione della riservatezza dei dipendenti sarà rafforzata dalle norme del Regolamento UE.

title: British policy and the Chinese revolutionary movement, 1895-1912.
Creators: name: Sun, Mary Man-Yue
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1968

description: This thesis traces British reactions to the development of the Chinese revolutionary movement from its beginnings in the British colony of Hong Kong, to the involvement of returned students in the Yangtze ports, the outbreak of the Revolution in October 1911, and finally studies Britain's role in the negotiations between the government and the revolutionaries leading to the peaceful establishment of the Chinese Republic. British policy in China was influenced variously by the China merchants, the missionaries and most important of all, by members of the Diplomatic and Consular Services in China, who were the only reliable sources of information emanating from a country geographically and culturally remote from Great Britain. In practical terms there was really no definite policy towards the Chinese revolutionary movement: Britain was caught in the dilemma between desire for conditions of peace and stability to enable her to carry on her main business in China, namely trade and commerce, and the hopes among many in the late Victorian period to see the Chinese undertake radical reforms in all aspects of their government and administration. This resulted in Britain's official stand of absolute neutrality and nonintervention when the Revolution finally erupted, while unofficially the British Legation in Peking was given free rein to influence the course of events in China by mediation and indirect pressure, to expediate the return to normalcy after the chaos of the Revolution. Policy-making in China was thus in the hands of those experts on the scene upon whose personal attitudes and idiosyncracies regarding reform and revolution in China statesmen in Britain depended.

title: The Chinese Communist bases (Ken-Chü-Ti) in North China, 1938-1943 : A study of their growth and anti-Japanese activities, with special reference to administration and mass mobilization programmes at the village level.

description: During the Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945), the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) established behind the Japanese lines four bases in north China which eventually became the main source of strength for the Communist victory over the KMT in 1949. In these bases the party played the leading role in uniting all anti-Japanese forces, and bringing the army under control, while good coordination was also maintained between the party headquarters in Yenan and the sub-bureaux behind the Japanese lines. The thesis shows that up to 1940 was a period of expansion, when the Communists succeeded in extending their control into the village, putting tenants and poor peasants in key positions to counteract the influence of the landlords. Mass mobilization programmes were also successful. In 1941-1942, the bases suffered a recession, however, as a result of tremendous Japanese military and economic pressure. In face of this threat, the CCP adopted a policy of retrenchment. With the launching of the Rectification Campaign in February 1942, the Communist position in the bases was strengthened, and reform programmes made the party better equipped to reassert its leadership. Mass mobilization was emphasized and the village became the base for the launching of important campaigns like those for the reduction of rent and interest, which succeeded by 1943 in arousing peasant political consciousness and effecting tremendous expansion in the organization of the people's armed forces of various descriptions, and the production teams. Japanese setbacks in the Pacific contributed further to Communist expansion, and by 1945, the CCP had become the dominant power in rural north China.
