A plethora of new actors has in recent years entered China's
environmental arena. In Western countries, the linkages and
diffusion processes between such actors often drive environmental
movements. Through a study of Chinese anti-incineration contention,
Chinese Environmental Contention: Linking Up against Waste
Incineration investigates how the different contentious actors in
China's green sphere link up, and what this means for environmental
contention. It addresses questions such as: What lies behind the
notable increase of environmental protests in China? And what are
the potentials for the emergence of an environmental movement? The
book shows that a complex network of ties has emerged in China's
environmental realm under Hu Jintao. Affected communities across
the country have connected with each other and with national-level
environmentalists, experts and lawyers. Such networked contention
fosters both local campaigns and national-level policy advocacy.
Beyond China, the detailed case studies shed light on the dynamics
behind the diffusion of contention under restrictive political
conditions.
