“…It has been acknowledged that regional cooperation can help to accomplish global mitigation objectives and it is easier for regions sharing common economic development structures, common cultural backgrounds or even geographical proximity to decide on mitigation policies or agreements [30][31][32] . Therefore, the global South countries tend to have closer bilateral cooperation with each other, which needs to strengthen regional cooperation to achieve collaborative emission reduction among South-South trade.…”

“…Governance is supposed to touch upon two aspects, including subjects and norms (Müller 2009). Subjects exist in the living examples of construction-agent systems that represent the current situation of practices and the states of every stakeholder; norms exist in relevant institutional laws of construction-agent system projects, with the institution appearing to be an important factor or manifestation mode of governance that embodies the policy orientation and development trend of the constructionagent system (Torfing 2010;Saidel and Harlan 2010;Komori 2000). In view of this, the instances and laws of construction-agent system projects are selected as research samples.…”

“…The different statuses (Pryke and Pearson 2006) and roles (Crawford and Helm 2009a) of stakeholders have led to the complexity of governance levels, which is the characteristic (Tasan-Kok 2010) of the project governance in which multiple independent subj ects participate; therefore, the governance subjects of construction-agent system are supposed to be divided into different levels. Governance is intended for the integration of individuals and collectives in a country, society and market (Torfing 2010), including government and non-governmental actors (Komori 2000). For this reason, the governance of construction-agent system projects needs to take into account the public and private actors (Pryke and Pearson 2006).…”

Construction-Agent System" (CAS) is a significant measure of deepening the reform of governmental investment systems and facilitating the transformation of governmental functions. In this paper, we are devoted to identifying 203 governance activities of a CAS project in multi-case studies to answer the following two key questions within a Chinese context: (1) What are the attributes and features of a CAS project governance activities? and (2) How can the governance structure of a CAS project be classified in consideration of the nature of project governance? This study has proposed a method to categorize governance structures of CAS projects. Our results show that CAS projects can be split into weak, median and strong governance structures, with the structures demonstrating an increase in governance links and subjects from the weak to the strong types. Then, the study defines the meanings and extensions of every governance type, placing emphasis on the key governance links and subjects according to the governance intensity and structure required by the project. In this way, the efficiency of CAS projects will be improved.

“…In South Korea, local-scale environmental actions were largely influenced and initiated by grassroots NGOs on behalf of political parties. In South Korea, environmental activism was suppressed by authoritarian regimes in the mid-1980s [50]. Despite the country's late start, NGOs in South Korea have become increasingly active in issues related to the promotion of the public welfare, such as the environment and other social issues [51].…”

To explore the most desirable pathway for a successful local energy transition, a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis was conducted on 16 regional cases in South Korea. We developed four propositions based on previous studies and theories as a causal set. Based on the South Korean context, we selected the solar photovoltaic (PV) generation and solar PV expansion rate as barometers for measuring the success of a local energy transition. Our analysis highlights the importance of the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) membership (network), local legislation, and the environmental surveillance of locally-based non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The implications of this study will provide insights for developing or newly industrialized countries where an energy transition is underway.
