As the dazzling economic and social changes in China have imposed
substantial impact upon the quality of environmental governance, it
is time to review the problems and progress in the politics of
China's environmental protection. This book analyzes the factors in
China's governance and political process that affect and restrain
its capacity to handle the mounting environmental problems. It
argues that solutions to China's ecological woes to a larger extent
lie in the political and institutional changes rather than in
engineering, technological and investment input. The book talks
about new policies and reform measures in the green area taken by
the government since 2007, arguing that some of them may be quite
effective in the long run, as long as they alter institutional
factors and the "growth-first" mindset that obstruct the green
effort.
The book also includes discussion of China's climate change
policy not only because global warming has come under the limelight
of the international community in recent years, but also because it
offers a unique dimension to analyze the country's environmental
diplomacy and domestic bureaucratic structure on emissions cutting
and related energy issues. China is currently at the crossroads of
further political and economic reform, and the intensified public
attention to environmental pollution may help the Chinese Communist
Party to decisively push forward the long-sluggish political
reforms.
