Editat de Dongping Yang
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 iun 2009
The China Environment Yearbook, produced by China's preeminent environmental organization Friends of Nature, has established itself as the standard source for on-the-ground civil society perspectives about environmental issues in China. The third English language volume in the series brings readers up to date on the main issues and events in 2007. These include national debates about water and air pollution, the Lake Tai algae crisis, the environmental protests in the city of Xiamen, challenges faced by those planning a “green” Olympics in Beijing for 2008, and the adverse impact of global climate change. The research and analysis contained in the volume depicts the broader patterns of an emerging environmental politics in China - a more assertive and restive citizenry in environmental affairs, the rise of interest groups, and international influences on domestic policy debates. The China Environment Yearbook, Volume 3 is an indispensable source for scholars and policy makers concerned about how China's environmental policies and practices will affect its own future and the future of the earth.

"...The research and analysis contained in this volume depicts the broader patterns of emerging environmental politics in China – a more assertive and restive citizenry in environmental affairs, the rise of interest groups, and international influences on domestic policy debates. This is an indispensable source for scholars and policymakers concerned about how China’s environmental policies and practices will affect its own future and the future of the earth."
Abstracts of Public Administration, Development, and Environment

"Each volume in the China Environment Yearbook series provides extensive data and many case studies to inform Western readers of China's environmental challenges and how they are being addressed. Like its predecessors, this volume's broad selection of topics and nontechnical approach will appeal to scholars, students, policy makers, and anyone else interested in China's environmental affairs."
Herman F. Huang, China Review International Vol. 16, No. 4, 2009
