Description and Table of Contents
Description
highlights how the consensual orchestration of sustainability in China's biggest city, Shanghai, affects non-state actors' ways of perceiving, acting, and organizing around environmental issues.
examines grassroots realities as they intersect with events of everyday life, offering insights into areas that far transcend debates over coercive forms of environmentalism and exploring the "soft" and "green" facets of President Xi Jinping's authoritarian approach to governance
This book will be of interest to scholars and students of Chinese society and politics, environmental politics, political ecology, international relations and urbanization in Asia.
