Why do political elites in authoritarian regimes, even within the same country, engage in different levels of predatory behavior, whereby some foster vibrant capitalism and others suffocate the innovative private sector? This book proposes a theory of localized property-rights protection under authoritarianism. By combining in-depth fieldwork with archival research and quantitative data analysis, Qi Zhang and Mingxing Liu discuss the post-1949 conflicts between dominant and marginalized factions in the Chinese province of Zhejiang. These conflicts resulted in systemic vulnerabilities among...

This book introduces corrosion mechanisms and protection technologies for metallic and non-metallic materials. A focus lies on the protection of high-tech materials with applications in space and environments exposed to unclear radiation and biological hazards. The determination, measurement and control of different corrosion mechanisms are discussed in detail. Combining theories with case studies, it is an essential reference for material scientists and engineers.
