Über dieses Buch

This book makes an in-depth study of China’s natural resource regulatory system including theoretical basis, development process, asset accounting, ownership reform, system structure, legal safeguard and policy implications. China is a big country with vast natural resource. Improving the supervision system of natural resources and enhancing the supervision capacity of natural resources have become the top priority of China's economic and social development. This book focuses on how to establish an optimized, coordinated and efficient natural resource regulatory system in China and aims to improve China’s natural resource regulatory system. By combing through the process of historical change, analyzing resource accounting and pricing methods and studying the realization and reform of property rights, this book discusses China’s current problems in the process of natural resource regulation and then proposes solutions and implementation paths as a reference for the construction of the Chinese natural resource regulatory system. People who are interested in natural resource regulation could find something useful in this book.

Chapter 1. Introduction

Abstract

Natural resources, those that exist without any human intervention, form some of the essential components of the environment. Natural resources provide a material basis for humans and have great economic and ecological value for humankind. Ecological problems related to resources and the environment have become increasingly serious around the world.

Chapter 2. Theoretical Basis for Analysis of Natural Resource Supervision Systems

Abstract

With the rapid development of the economy, the demand for kerosene and other natural resources has increased rapidly. The market is in short supply, prices have risen sharply, and many important energy resources remain highly dependent on foreign countries. However, China is currently in the process of industrialization and there is still great demand for natural resources. The shortage of natural resources has become an important factor restricting China’s economic development. Therefore, it is necessary to vigorously promote the efficient utilization and recycling of natural resources and regulating natural resources.

Chapter 3. Historical Changes in China’s Natural Resource Regulatory System

Abstract

The natural resource regulatory system of China has gradually improved with the continuous improvement of the country’s economic development level and the continuous improvement of the legal system. The regulatory concept is the core guiding concept of natural resource regulation, which is constantly changing and has been gradually enriched with the development of China’s economy and society.

Chapter 4. International Comparison of Natural Resource Regulatory Systems

Abstract

The supervision system of natural resources in different countries varies greatly owing to differences in land area, population environment, natural resource endowment conditions and distribution, regulatory regime, and economic development level in different countries. The United States, Japan, and Russia have different natural resource endowment conditions, and their regulatory models and systems of natural resources also have their own characteristics. All three countries have a relatively long history of natural resource supervision. Having enacted several reforms of the regulatory system, they have already had longer experience in the regulation of natural resources than China. The analysis of the governance experience of these countries is of great significance for the improvement and reform of China’s natural resource regulatory system. This chapter takes the United States, Japan, and Russia as examples to systematically study the development history and current status of their natural resource regulatory systems.

Chapter 5. Accounting and Pricing Methods for Natural Resources

Abstract

The previous chapters introduce the historical changes in China’s natural resource regulatory system, comparing and learning from the regulatory experiences of other countries. In this chapter, we focus on the content of natural resource accounting and pricing. There has been a longstanding debate on whether natural resources have value, and only in recent years has it been accepted that they do, but there is still no widespread consensus on how to measure them, meaning that natural resource asset valuation, accounting, and pricing remain unclear.

Chapter 6. Realization and Reform of Property Rights of Natural Resources Assets

Abstract

China has vast territory and abundant natural resources. However, its resource-based economic growth model has caused damage to natural resources, which is reflected in the loss of natural resources, the non-standard registration content of the confirmation of rights, and an unsound circulation mechanism. Due to the imperfection of the existing property rights system of natural resource assets, natural resources have developed in a disorderly manner and over time have been damaged. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the property rights system of natural resource assets, use the system to protect the ecological environment, improve the efficiency of resource allocation, ensure the reasonable use of resources, and enhance the property rights of natural resources. Therefore, the reform of the property rights of natural resource assets are worth considering and exploring.

Chapter 7. Architectural Design of China’s Natural Resource Regulatory System

Abstract

Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, China’s natural resource regulatory system has undergone several significant reforms and mergers, transforming from an initial set of institutions to today’s unified regulatory landscape. However, there are many participants in the supervision system, and although the unified supervision pattern integrates the originally scattered supervision functions to a certain extent, it is still unable to achieve fully effective targeted supervision. In China’s current natural resource market, adverse selection events of related companies often occur.

Chapter 8. Implementation Path of Natural Resource Regulation

Abstract

China’s “ecological civilization” construction level is still very backward compared with its economic and social development, and faces many problems. Under such circumstances, there is an urgent need to study a new natural resource supervision system. Some scholars have identified the need for coordination between environmental auditing and government auditing.

Chapter 9. Legal Safeguards for the Natural Resource Regulatory System

Abstract

This chapter analyzes the regulatory system from the legal perspective, specifically from the three aspects of natural resource regulation, natural resource assets management, and natural resource taxation system, in light of the current situation and management system of natural resources in China. We propose corresponding solutions to problems identified based on China’s current situation and advanced international management experience. At the same time, a series of laws and regulations promulgated by the Chinese government are used to analyze the relevant contents. Finally, we propose how to improve the natural resources regulatory system from the legal perspective, so as to provide theoretical support for the improvement and reform of the natural resource regulatory system.

Chapter 10. Outlook: The Road Ahead for Natural Resource Supervision

Abstract

The previous chapters focus on the theoretical basis, historical changes, domestic and foreign comparison, subject and object of regulation, implementation path, and legal basis of natural resource regulation, and investigate the current situation of the natural resource regulatory system from various aspects as well as propose corresponding problems. With increased development and utilization of natural resources around the world, scarcity of natural resources has become a global phenomenon, and it is necessary to strengthen their supervision. In addition, with economic development advances in science and technology, the traditional supervision system needs further refinement. This chapter makes policy suggestions for the overall path of natural resource regulation, natural resource property rights and a mechanism for natural resource assets to land and resources planning and China’s trade in natural resources with other countries and multi-agent participation perspective. The suggestions are intended to ensure reasonable and effective regulation of China’s natural resources.
