the Opium Wars Opium legalization and Opium consumption in china
Applied Economics Letters, 2008Co-Authors: Chris Feige, Jeffrey A MironAbstract:The effect of drug prohibition on drug consumption is a critical issue in debates over drug policy. One episode that provides information on the consumption-reducing efffect of drug prohibition is the Chinese legalization of Opium in 1858. In this paper we examine the impact of China's Opium legalization on the quantity and price of British Opium exports from India to China during the nineteenth century. We find little evidence that legalization increased exports or decreased price. Thus, the evidence suggests China's Opium prohibition had a minimal impact on Opium consumption.

modernization and revolution in china from the Opium Wars to the olympics
2009Co-Authors: June Grasso, Jay P Corrin, Michael KortAbstract:This timely book provides a wealth of useful information for following through on today's renewed concern for sustainability and environmentalism. It's designed to help city managers, policy analysts, and government administrators think comprehensively and communicate effectively about environmental policy issues.The authors illustrate a system-based framework model of the city that provides a holistic view of environmental media (land, air, and water) while helping decision-makers to understand the extent to which environmental policy decisions are intertwined with the natural, built, and social systems of the city. They go on to introduce basic and environment-specific policy-analytic models, methods, and tools presents numerous specific environmental policy puzzles that will confront cities and introduces methods for understanding and educating public opinions around urban environmental policy.The book is grounded in the policy-analytic perspective rather than political science, economic, or planning frameworks.

on the foreign economic relations of the ming and qing dynasties before the Opium Wars
Tangdu Journal, 2004Co-Authors: Bai ZhanAbstract:The capitalist history of China in the Ming Dynasty would have been completely changed if the traditional economic crisis had been avoided.The Qing Dynasty could have had adequate time to step onto a new stage of development and merge into the earliest globalization.Economic contraditions were absolutely confined to domestic market.Highly centralized politics strangled competition of systems which prevented the appearance of new systems.China became backward for reasons of missing the favourable opportunities in the earliest globalization to make enormous economic profits just for the sake of maintaining the feudal autocracy.The economic problem of the Ming Dynasty of China before 1840 is the problems of China at present in globalization in miniature.Modern China has to promote cultural and political development in addition to strengthening foreign economic relations and merging into the world market.
