Environmental degradation in China has not only brought a wider
range of diseases and other health consequences than previously
understood, it has also taken a heavy toll on Chinese society, the
economy, and the legitimacy of the party-state. In Toxic Politics,
Yanzhong Huang presents new evidence of China's deepening health
crisis and challenges the widespread view that China is winning the
war on pollution. Although government leaders are learning,
stricter and more centralized policy enforcement measures have not
been able to substantially reduce pollution or improve public
health. Huang connects this failure to pathologies inherent in the
institutional structure of the Chinese party-state, which embeds
conflicting incentives for officials and limits the capacity of the
state to deliver public goods. Toxic Politics reveals a political
system that is remarkably resilient but fundamentally flawed. Huang
examines the implications for China's future, both domestically and
internationally.
