Networked Contention: No Longer Fragmented, Not Yet a Movement --Appendices --References --IndexA plethora of new actors has in recent years entered China's environmental arena. In Western countries, the linkages and diffusion processes between such actors often drive environmental movements. Through a study of Chinese anti-incineration contention, *Chinese Environmental Contention: Linking Up against Waste Incineration* investigates how the different contentious actors in China's green sphere link up, and what this means for environmental contention. It addresses questions such as: What lies behind the notable increase of environmental protests in China? And what are the potentials for the emergence of an environmental movement? The book shows that a complex network of ties has emerged in China's environmental realm under Hu Jintao. Affected communities across the country have connected with each other and with national-level environmentalists, experts and lawyers. Such networked contention fosters both local campaigns and national-level policy advocacy. Beyond China, the detailed case studies shed light on the dynamics behind the diffusion of contention under restrictive political conditions.China's environment and welfare.Green movementChinaIncinerationChinaEnvironmentalismChinaChinaEnvironmental conditionsGreen movementIncinerationEnvironmentalism333.72/0951Bondes Maria954522Lora-Wainwright Anna1776841MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910372739803321Chinese Environmental Contention4296056UNINA
