Overview

The way in which energy is governed in China is driving its rising level of carbon dioxide emissions. This book analyses the nature of energy governance in China by combining ideas relating to transition management with institutionalist theories, which helps to identify factors which assist or constrain the country's path to a low-carbon economy.

'In this book, Philip Andrews-Speed makes a major contribution to our understanding of the trajectory of the energy sector in China and the problems in the way of its moving towards a low-carbon model.' - Tim Wright, The China Quarterly 'Philip Andrews-Speed's The Governance of Energy in China, well written and timely, addresses key issues of China's energy governance from a theoretical and conceptual perspective. Andrews-Speed uses the conceptual frameworks of transition management, new institutional economics and historical institutionalism to elaborate China's energy policies and its transition to a low-carbon economy. The approach of the book is embedded in the discussion on socio-technical regimes, regime transition and technological change. It is an important addition to the literature on China's transition to a low-carbon economy.' - Johan Nordensvard and Frauke Urban, International Affairs
