商品描述
What does it mean for the future of the planet when one of the world's most durable authoritarian governance systems pursues "ecological civilization"? Despite its staggering pollution and colossal appetite for resources, China exemplifies a model of state-led environmentalism which concentrates decisive political, economic, and epistemic power under centralized leadership. On the face of it, China seems to embody hope for a radical new approach to environmental governance.
In this thought-provoking book, Yifei Li and Judith Shapiro probe the concrete mechanisms of China's coercive environmentalism to show how 'going green' helps the state to further other agendas such as citizen surveillance and geopolitical influence. Through top-down initiatives, regulations, and campaigns to mitigate pollution and environmental degradation, the Chinese authorities also promote control over the behavior of individuals and enterprises, pacification of borderlands, and expansion of Chinese power and influence along the Belt and Road and even into the global commons. Given the limited time that remains to mitigate climate change and protect millions of species from extinction, we need to consider whether a green authoritarianism can show us the way. This book explores both its promises and risks.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
當世界上最具韌性的威權治理體系之一追求「生態文明」時，這對地球的未來意味著什麼？儘管中國面臨驚人的污染和巨大的資源需求，但它卻展現了一種由國家主導的環保模式，將決定性的政治、經濟和知識權力集中在中央領導之下。表面上看，中國似乎體現了對環境治理的激進新方法的希望。
在這本引人深思的書中，李怡飛（Yifei Li）和朱迪思·夏皮羅（Judith Shapiro）探討了中國強制性環保主義的具體機制，顯示「綠色轉型」如何幫助國家推進其他議程，例如公民監控和地緣政治影響。透過自上而下的倡議、法規和減少污染及環境退化的運動，中國當局還促進了對個人和企業行為的控制、邊境地區的平息，以及中國在「一帶一路」沿線甚至全球公域的權力和影響力擴張。考慮到減緩氣候變化和保護數百萬物種免於滅絕的時間有限，我們需要思考綠色威權主義是否能指引我們前進的方向。本書探討了其承諾與風險。
