Abstract
In the previous chapters, the state’s role within the brief history of renewable energy development in China, and institutional strategies that have been introduced in the process of deploying non-hydro renewable energy, were discussed through the theoretical lens of ecological modernisation and the developmental state. This discussion sought to answer the first sub-question. In the next two chapters, in order to further understand how such a hybrid paradigm has been operated and implemented in localities, the key institutional setting, organisational interactions and governance structure, as well as the relationship between central and local governments will be discussed, and the second and third sub-questions will be explored.
-
How and to what extent have bureaucratic norms and standards of centrally formulated policies influenced the implementation of renewable energy in different regions?
-
What is the governance structure of the renewable energy industry at the local level?
