Resource type: Ressourcentyp: Buch (Online)Book (Online)Language: English Series: China's Environment and WelfarePublisher: Amsterdam : Amsterdam University Press, 2019Description: 1 Online-Ressource (321 p.)Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: A plethora of new actors has in recent years entered China’s environmental arena. In Western countries, the linkages and diffusion processes between such actors often drive environmental movements. Through a study of Chinese anti-incineration contention, *Chinese Environmental Contention: Linking Up against Waste Incineration* investigates how the different contentious actors in China’s green sphere link up, and what this means for environmental contention. It addresses questions such as: What lies behind the notable increase of environmental protests in China? And what are the potentials for the emergence of an environmental movement? The book shows that a complex network of ties has emerged in China’s environmental realm under Hu Jintao. Affected communities across the country have connected with each other and with national-level environmentalists, experts and lawyers. Such networked contention fosters both local campaigns and national-level policy advocacy. Beyond China, the detailed case studies shed light on the dynamics behind the diffusion of contention under restrictive political conditionsPPN: PPN: 177851152XPackage identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-94-OABNo physical items for this record
