Reviews
Drawing on the metaphor of the Long March, a military excursion in the 1930s that ultimately helped consolidate the power of the Chinese Communist Party, Lee analyzes the range of strategies – including institutional restructuring, law and policy, technological innovation, and public-private partnerships – that Chinese leaders are using to meet these challenges. Lee grounds his analysis in scholarly materialsand data from both English and Chinese sources, and discusses how China’s progress will be crucial for meeting the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Written in a straightforward and accessible style, the book will be of great value to scholars, policymakers, and environmental organizations operating in China and beyond.
