Abstract This research analyzes the importance of the institutional and economic context and the institutional capacity building to develop an industrial symbiosis networks through the “Programa Mineiro de Simbiose Industrial” (PMSI). The research is qualitative, exploratory and descriptive, using content analysis techniques. Interviews were conducted with managers and government actors with active PMSI participation. The institutional and economic contexts and the current knowledge, mobilization and relational capacities were identified. The results indicate that the industrial symbiosis network is not dense and there are few waste exchanges among companies. There is an effort among actors who participate in the PMSI to build knowledge, mobilization and relationship capacities. However, the institutional context is unfavorable to the development of industrial symbiosis. This study article reinforces the need to invest in eco-innovative solutions and institutional environment improvements to develop efficient natural resources and waste management, and thus allow the development of eco-industrial parks.

Donald Clarke's article provides a pretty full and accurate review of legislative activities in the course of China's economic developments since 1992. His perceptive analysis not only reflects the important achievements of economic legislation and its undeniable contribution to market developments in China, but also critically conceptualizes the many-featured legislative practice within an established theoretic framework with an emphasis on institutional capacity building.

The Vietnam Petroleum Institute (VPI) and the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) have carried out a programme of geoscientific research and institutional capacity building since 1995. It has included geoscientific projects focused on assessment of the hydrocarbon potential of selected sedimentary basins, technology transfer and inhouse training at VPI in Hanoi and at GEUS in Copenhagen. Co-operation is continuing within the framework of a new, long-term project that aims to strengthen research capacity in Vietnam within the fields of basin analysis and modelling.
