Developing an Appropriate Contaminated Land Regime in China - Lessons Learned from the US and UK (Hardcover, 2013 ed.)

Like all industrialized countries, China is experiencing increased land contamination in recent years. Abandoned mining and manufacture sites and obsolete industrial complexes, while also creating new polluting industrial enterprises, are presenting impending environmental threats. More importantly, a number of social and economic problems have developed and must be dealt with, in some cases, as a matter of urgency in China. Contaminated land laws and regulations have been established and have evolved in the US and UK and many other jurisdictions over the past decades. Those regimes have substantially influenced the relevant legislation in the context of numerous Asian and European countries and will inevitably benefit the similar legislative efforts of China. This book is the first monograph which focuses on how China can learn from the US and UK with respect to the contaminated land legislation and demonstrates the whole picture of how contaminated land law would be created in China. It will be of interest to academics and practitioners in environmental law in China, as well as the US and UK.
