The economic growth of China is clearly one of the defining
trends of our time. The world's most populous nation is undergoing
a vast transformation that will redefine the global economy.
Chinese industrial production has increased tremendously in recent
years, and its consumption of resources has necessarily gone way up
as well. These developments will have important impacts on
economics, business, politics, and environmental conditions
throughout the world. In C "hina's Dilemma: Economic Growth, the
Environment, and Climate Change, " an international group of
authorities examines the present status and likely future of
China's economic rise and its impact on the environment, with
particular focus on the all-important topic of global climate
change. The first section addresses directly China's recent growth.
Specific topics addressed here include the effects on China of the
global credit crunch, determinants of growth, and their prospects
for the future. Part II addresses China's environmental and climate
concerns, including the impact on human health, their role in
domestic politics, the health effects of environmental damage, and
China's post- Kyoto climate strategy. Part III looks at the impact,
and likely trajectory, of energy consumption in China. Contents
