" ... this book is a very useful and convenient compilation of the authors' extensive and detailed published studies since the late 1990s on problems and developments in local environmental governance, particularly in Guangzhou and several other cities. Their investigations and conceptual analysis should also provide models for scholars studying environmental governance in other major cities in China in the future."— Environmental Politics, Vol. 23, Issue 6, 2014
