• The Chinese regulatory framework and institutional structure addressing environmental risks that may be caused by GM crops
• Legal principles addressing environmental risks that may be caused by GM crops in China
• Legal measures addressing environmental risks that may be caused by GM crops in China
• Conclusion.

"This book analyzes international and Chinese regulatory approaches addressing environmental risks that may be caused by GM crops and examines how China implements its international obligations in its policies and laws. Using the legal doctrinal method, the book discusses the precautionary principle and the public involvement principle, as well as several legal measures at the international law level and in Chinese law. It observes that legal principles and measures as provided for in Chinas GMO legal framework have generally implemented the international obligations regarding the prevention of environmental risks that may be caused by the cultivation of GM crops and related activities. However, the book argues that Chinese law lacks an explicit codification of the precautionary principle, and the same is true with regard to public participation; the regulatory framework lacks specific obligations. It concludes that future research should focus on the application and enforcement of the relevant Chinese legislation, and that it is also important to investigate how the environmental risks that may be caused by new techniques, such as genome-editing techniques, could be prevented, given the experience gained by regulating the cultivation of GM crops and related activities"-- Provided by publisher.

"China's staggering economic growth in the last 40 years is one of the most fascinating and important stories of social change in recent world history. Social scientists from around the globe have produced vast literatures to explore the story's countless dimensions. Invariably, the government's actions lie at the center of the narratives that emerge. The Chinese state nurtured the early growth of private entrepreneurship in township and village enterprises. It made dazzling investments in infrastructure projects and is responsible for a model of investment-led economic growth that dominates to the present day. It has tried, although with various degrees of success, to either build or revamp gigantic systems of public education and public health, of old-age, medical, and unemployment insurance, and of poverty assistance. China has, of course, also expanded its military power and foreign operations. To do all these and many other things, the Chinese government has had to accumulate and deploy vast amounts of social resources. Certainly, it has done so partly by exercising control over the nation's banking sector, manipulating its capital markets, and owning large quantities of productive assets through state-owned enterprises. Yet these forms of state ownership and state control are dwarfed by the government's most important access to social resources: the power of taxation"-- Provided by publisher.
