Klappentext Based on interviews with members of grassroots organisations, media and government institutions, Green Politics in China is an in-depth account of the novel ways Chinese society is responding to its environmental crisis, using examples rarely captured in Western media or academia. The struggle for clean air, low-carbon conspiracy theories, is transforming Chinese society, producing new forms of public fund raising and the encouraging the international tactics of grassroots NGOs. In doing so, they challenge static understandings of state-society relations in China, providing a crucial insight into the way in which China is changing internally and emerging as a powerful player in global environmental politics. Through a series of fascinating case studies and interviews, Barr and Zhang reveal the complex interaction between China's people and its government as policy is decided and implemented. This book should be read by all those with an interest in the future of our planet and in the changing relationship between state and society in China. -- Tony Saich, Director of the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation Zusammenfassung Provides an in-depth and engaging account of the novel ways in which Chinese society is responding to its environmental crisis.
