{"product_id":"chinese-environmental-contention-linking-up-against-waste-incineration","title":"Chinese Environmental Contention","description":"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 conditions.","brand":"Amsterdam University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009694912856,"sku":null,"price":135.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/chinese-environmental-contention-linking-up-against-waste-incineration","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
