Review of Li and Shapiro. 2020. China goes Green: coercive environmentalism for a troubled planet.

Author: Kofi Gunu (University of Oxford)

Abstract

This review critiques Yifei Li and Judith Shapiro’s China Goes Green: Coercive Environmentalism for a Troubled Planet (2020). The authors explore what it means for the world’s longest-lasting authoritarian state to pursue “ecological civilization.” This is an important work that recasts the trade-offs of tackling catastrophic climate change.
