| Synopsis: |
The economic growth of China is clearly one of the defining trends of our time. The worldOCOs most populous nation is undergoing a vast transformation that will redefine the global economy. Chinese industrial production has increased tremendously in recent years, and its consumption of resources has necessarily gone way up as well. These developments will have important impacts on economics, business, politics, and environmental conditions throughout the world.In China's Dilemma: Economic Growth, the Environment, and Climate Change, an international group of authorities examines the present status and likely future of ChinaOCOs economic rise and its impact on the environment, with particular focus on the all-important topic of global climate change. The first section addresses directly ChinaOCOs recent growth. Specific topics addressed here include the effects on China of the global credit crunch, determinants of growth, and their prospects for the future. Part II addresses ChinaOCOs environmental and climate concerns, including the impact on human health, their role in domestic politics, the health effects of environmental damage, and ChinaOCOs post- Kyoto climate strategy. Part III looks at the impact, and likely trajectory, of energy consumption in China.ContentsPart I. Economic Growth: Determinants and Prospects Includes introductionPart II.
