Over the past three decades, China's economic structure, direction
and international presence have undergone a dramatic
transformation. This rapid rise and China's enormous success in
economic terms has created new challenges, and this book examines
how the Chinese economy can continue to flourish, whilst at the
same time protecting the environment and giving people more equal
access to the benefits of the country's economic development.
Examining the key issues surrounding China's continued sustainable
development, in economic, political, social and more traditional
environmental terms, this book assesses the costs of China's rapid
development to date and in turn asks whether this can be
maintained. The contributors show that the idea of sustainable
development must take into account more than just the physical
environment, and that there are additional problems relating to the
sustainability of China's economic growth that are much more
complicated. Divided into two broad sections, the book looks first
at the broader issues of sustainability in China, before turning to
the more classic idea of sustainability, that of the environment.
In doing so, the contributors show that sustainability is a far
more complex phenomenon than is often assumed, and that economic
and social sustainability are inherently linked to linked to
environmental sustainability. Dealing with what are arguably the
greatest challenges facing China today, this book will be will be
of great interests to students and scholars of Chinese studies,
Chinese economics and Chinese politics, as well as those interested
in development studies and sustainable development more broadly.
