This is the first examination of how China is currently dealing
with environmental problems and challenges, and of its successes,
failures and dilemmas. This new book gives special attention to the
development of 'environmental governance' in contemporary China,
especially on the urban industrial and infrastructure sectors,
showing how the rapid economic growth that has transformed China in
recent years has major implications for the environment, as well as
future economic development. Leading international scholars explore
a range of key issues, including: economic growth and the
environment the environmental policy process the legal framework
for environmental protection the role of environmental NGOs energy
policy water issues biotechnology and GMOs the international
dimension. This book shows how environmental policy, politics and
governance are core issues posed by China's accelerated economic
development. At the same time it analyzes, illustrates and argues
that major steps are under way in taking up these challenges. In
doing so the book provides an in-depth, balanced and comprehensive
assessment of contemporary environmental reforms in China. This
book was previously published as a special issue of Environmental
Governance.
