The Challenge Of Chinese Environmental Law, Robert V. Percival
The Challenge Of Chinese Environmental Law, Robert V. Percival
Robert Percival
China faces some of the most difficult environmental problems in the world as rapid industrial growth has produced horrendous air and water pollution.

In response to skyrocketing food prices, the global financial crisis, and the degradation of farm lands due to urbanization and industrialization, China has placed rural development at the top of its political agenda.

This article uses the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) as a case study on the complex ways that trade policy affects domestic efforts to protect the environment and promote rural development. The objective is to draw lessons from the experiences of the United …
