The Governance of Energy in China: The way in which energy is governed in China is an important factor driving its rising level of carbon dioxide emissions.

Part Three focuses on recent efforts to reform the energy sector in China and to regulate it more effectively, paying particular attention to the electrical power sector and to small-scale coal mines. Part Four evaluates, from the perspective of the citizen, policy relating to the electrical power sector and to the closure of small-scale coal mines. China thus is having to abandon its traditional goal of energy self-sufficiency — brought about by a fear of strategic vulnerability — and look abroad for resources.
This study looks at the measures that China is taking to achieve energy security and the motivations behind those measures. China is likely to remain reliant on U. Given the risks of climate change, is there an imperative, shared responsibility to help China respond to the environmental effects of its coal dependence? By linking global hazards to local air pollution concerns—from indoor stove smoke to burgeoning ground-level ozone—this volume of eighteen studies seeks integrated strategies to address simultaneously a range of harmful emissions.
Energizing China , the stage-setting publication of an ongoing program of Harvard-China research collaboration, is distinguished by its conceptual breadth and spirit of exchange. Its contributors include twenty-two Western and seventeen Chinese scholars with a disciplinary reach that includes science, public health, engineering, economics, public policy, law, business, and China studies.
Praeger, ; http: This book explores how this reduction was achieved and determines the major sources of energy savings. Using extensive data, the author examines the impacts of technological and structural changes on energy consumption and identifies the factors that were primarily responsible for the energy-efficiency improvements.

The study seeks answers to such questions as: In order to describe and analyze how and why policy changes occur in the energy sector, this study examines policy pronouncements, implementation, and outcomes in post-Mao China with respect to six policy issues: The policy changes tend to go hand in hand with changes in the institutional context. In order to analyze context change, it is necessary to examine organizational and personnel changes, as well as the changing relationships between state and enterprise, and between the center and the province. Case studies in each energy sector were made.
The findings show that: And 4 policy changes influenced institutional changes and vice versa. Based on these findings, it can be hypothesized that the policy process in energy is becoming less politicized.
It has also become clear that the policy process differs by issue and over time.

A new era of greater development for this thriving green energy has come.
Contains lessons for other countries faced with energy provision problems. Tong Jiandong, Small Hydro Power: The book goes on to considers the growth of small rural coal mines as part of the Township and Village Enterprises TVEs programme; these small mines have brought prosperity to areas where small manufacturing enterprises are not competitive, but at the same time have been the cause of many social and environmental problems.
It also examines the situation of coal miners — arguably one the most vulnerable segments of the Chinese working class — under socialism and under capitalism, paying particular attention to the issue of work safety and coal mine disasters. It addresses questions of both economic and socio-political history and contributes to our knowledge of many aspects of early twentieth-century Chinese history.

An Economic History, Routledge, http: With its huge labour force, country-wide infrastructure, and vital strategic importance for the economy, the industry presents special problems for reformers, and epitomises the problems of reform in the state industrial sector as a whole.
This book examines the changes in the structure and operation of the Chinese coal industry from the midth century to the present, concentrating on the years of reform. From humble beginnings in the late s, the policy shift in China from a planned to market economy has led to economic growth of tremendous speed. The Chinese government recognizes these problems and is taking steps to rebalance its economy and society. The book takes a political economy perspective in order to investigate the interplay between the political system in China and the way in which the economy is structured, and the manner in which economic changes take place.
Demonstrating that in order for China to achieve sustained economic growth and social improvement it must undertake serious policy changes, it also highlights that if countries are going to deal with China in a stable and productive manner, a thorough understanding of key contemporary developments in that country is vital.
