During the past three decades of rapid industrial growth, China has
suffered from devastating environmental degradation. Most scholarly
and popular publications have painted a rather pessimistic picture
about the worrisome trend. Yet a somewhat more optimistic view has
emerged in the past decade given the Chinese government's increased
commitment to fighting industrial pollution, the public's increased
concerns regarding the adverse effects of pollution, and domestic
and international civil society's increased involvement in
promoting environmental protection in China. Drawing on the
authors' extensive research on Guangdong Province and a few large
cities in other provinces, this book provides an in-depth study on
China's environmental governance and regulatory enforcement in the
past two decades. Section 1 examines various institutional
constraints for environmental regulation enforcement at the local
level and how governance reform efforts in the past decade have
contributed to the lessening of those constraints. Section 2 draws
on data derived from surveys and interviews conducted in multiple
cities and times; it examines the dominant regulatory enforcement
styles of local environmental protection bureaus and how these
styles vary across different regions and over time. Section 3
examines how various stakeholders-the general public, environmental
groups, government entities, and corporations-affect the
environmental governance process. Overall, the book presents a
cautiously optimistic view on the evolution of environmental
governance in China. While highlighting many political,
institutional, social, and economic constraints, it also documents
many changes that have taken place-including reform efforts from
within the government administrative system, increasingly societal
concerns and actions, and changing attitudes among corporate
executives-potentially paving the way for more effective
environmental governance in the future.
