Excellent- More about Environmental Policy and Air Pollution in China: Governance and Strategy
China has made progress in reducing air pollution, but this has come from policy stumbles and a lack of democracy and rule of law. This book examines China's environmental governance and strategy and how they shape environmental policy, concluding that China's worst environmental years are in the past.

This comprehensive book delves into the intricate dynamics of China's efforts to address the challenging environmental issue of air pollution over the past two decades. Author Yuan Xu sheds light on how China's sulfur dioxide emissions surged rapidly alongside its rapid economic growth, only to subsequently decline to levels not witnessed in at least four decades. Despite this positive outcome, Xu uncovers the underlying factors that led to this mitigation, including a series of policy stumbles within the Chinese context of a non-democratic system and a lack of robust rule of law.
Throughout the book, the author examines China's environmental governance and strategy, exploring how they shape environmental policy. The chapters seamlessly weave together a goal-centered governance model that China has adopted, encompassing centralized goal setting, decentralized goal attainment, decentralized policymaking, and implementation. Xu concludes that this model provides compelling evidence that China's worst environmental years are behind it.
This book holds immense value for students and scholars engaged in the study of Chinese environmental policy and governance, air pollution, climate change, and sustainable development. It is also of interest to practitioners and policy makers working in these fields.
