So Big, it's like or closed to ZEN. I hope I can be involved in this project and help them develop in China. http://maps.maplecroft.com/loadmap?template=map&issueID=25 About Maplecroft maps Maplecroft maps is a highly visual web-based resource which contains detailed country information for over 200 states and maps key social, economic, environmental and political issues and their significance to business and society. The interactive map enables users to view an issue individually or in combination with other issues in order to illustrate the relationship between two or more associated topics. This innovative tool is designed to raise awareness amongst corporations, government and non governmental organisations, academics and students of how an organisation's operations interact with wider society, and how the risks and opportunities generated can be responsibly managed through stakeholder engagement and partnership. For each specific issue, the map features: In-depth analysis – emphasising its impacts and significance to business and society in general, as well as providing a framework for action; Country shading – illustrating the pervasiveness and risk ranking of the issue being mapped; Traffic light system – applied to indicate whether the indicators relevant to the issue have increased, decreased or remained the same as in previous years; Hotspots – specific areas are identified that are currently severely affected by the issue; Case studies – positive and negative examples of how companies have managed the challenges that they have faced, in particular with respect to the interface between business and civil society. The interactive map tool itself will be regularly updated with new features to make it easier and more enjoyable to use. New issues will be added to the tool at regular intervals, as well as enhancements and updates to existing issues, adding depth by incorporating new research, data, case studies and policy developments as they become available. About the Global maps series The interactive map is the next phase in Maplecroft's Global maps series portfolio of global maps of risk and opportunity. The Global maps series is a unique awareness-raising and management tool, providing a framework for monitoring and analysing a wide range of complex issues that impact on society and the goals of business. Included in the series are interactive and hard copy versions of maps at the global, regional and country level that can be either generic or tailored to meet the needs of a particular organisation. Individually, the maps serve as a thorough illustration and analysis of a particular issue or region and its significance to business and sustainable development. Together, they are a dynamic and up-to-date resource bank containing data, analysis and case studies covering the whole range of risks and challenges facing the business and development community. Country and regional maps, demonstrating the whole range of issues faced by business in a particular area, are available interactively or as a pocket-sized or wall chart hard copy version. Hard-copy maps of anti-corruption and transparency, HIV/AIDS, hunger, human rights risk and water are also available. Issues are mapped using established indicators, brand new indices and are supplemented by Maplecroft research, which strives to be of the highest quality and rigour. For instance, we have developed a new 'intrinsic country human rights risk index' – a composite index detailing the types of violations and their pervasiveness in each country, to get a robust measure of intrinsic country human rights risk.
