Trade Review'The newly amended Environmental Protection Law of PRC (2014) indicates the prominence of law and its key role in the development of environmental management and protection in China. At the same time, interest in Chinese environmental law is growing as China begins to play an increasingly important role in economic and environmental affairs globally. This Research Handbook
provides a comprehensive and precise introduction to the environmental law of China and is an accessible and useful guide.' --Wang Xi, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China
'This Research Handbook contains a profound systematic analysis of the amazing development of contemporary Chinese environmental law and its contribution to tackling the many environmental problems China is confronting. It provides foreign readers with unique access to the various branches of Chinese environmental law including the relevant law-making, administrative and judicial institutions, identifying still-existing gaps, regulatory deficiencies, implementation problems and reform needs. The Research Handbook reflects the high academic quality of the younger generation of Chinese environmental lawyers.'
