Description
Discover the profound insights of 'China Goes Green,' a groundbreaking publication that delves into the intricacies of China’s state-led environmentalism. This 2020 release by John Wiley & Sons sheds light on the ambitious vision of ecological civilization in a country known for its vast pollution and resource consumption. With 240 pages of in-depth analysis, authors Yifei Li and Judith Shapiro examine how China's authoritarian governance is intertwining with environmental agendas, creating a unique model of environmental governance.
This thought-provoking work explores the duality of China's environmental initiatives that aim to combat pollution while consolidating state control. By analyzing top-down regulations, campaigns, and initiatives, the book reveals how China's 'going green' narrative serves not only environmental goals but also enhances citizen surveillance and geopolitical dominance, particularly through the Belt and Road Initiative.
As climate change accelerates, this essential read invites you to ponder the balance between environmental progress and authoritarian governance. Engaging with the risks and promises of this paradigm, 'China Goes Green' offers a critical perspective for anyone interested in the future of global environmental policy and governance.

Description:
What does it mean for the future of the planet when one of the world™s most durable authoritarian governance systems pursues Ĺ›ecological civilizationĹĄ? Despite its staggering pollution and colossal appetite for resources, China exemplifies a model of state-led environmentalism which concentrates decisive political, economic, and epistemic power under centralized leadership. On the face of it, China seems to embody hope for a radical new approach to environmental governanceĂ‚Â In this thought-provoking book, Yifei Li and Judith Shapiro probe the concrete mechanisms of China™s coercive environmentalism to show how Âgoing green™ helps the state to further other agendas such as citizen surveillance and geopolitical influence. Through top-down initiatives, regulations, and campaigns to mitigate pollution and environmental degradation, the Chinese authorities also promote control over the behavior of individuals and enterprises, pacification of borderlands, and expansion of Chinese power and influence along the Belt and Road and even into the global commons. Given the limited time that remains to mitigate climate change and protect millions of species from extinction, we need to consider whether a green authoritarianism can show us the way. This book explores both its promises and risks.
