Energy Policy in China

With a specific focus on energy supply and dedicating a chapter to each sub-sector, Yang provides a succinct account of China's energy policy over the last sixty years. Over the course of the book, he introduces both the achievements and failures of the Chinese energy systems, as well as the strengths and insufficiencies of Chinese energy governance. This book is an interdisciplinary study written for a broad audience, including those researching and working in the fields of energy policy, business strategy, government administration, as well as Chinese and Asian Studies more broadly.
