Environmental policy change in two transitional societies: a comparative study on anti-incinerator construction in Guangzhou and Taipei
ABSTRACT Growing the volume of solid waste disposal has been generating numerous social conflicts in recent years, and challenging the transitional societies like Guangzhou and Taipei. This essay compares the dynamics between two cities in the greater China region in reaching a consensus on changing solid waste management policy following anti-incinerator protests in Taipei, Taiwan, and Guangzhou, mainland China by exploring several related questions: How does environmental activism alter changes in the environmental policies of two cases with different political systems? What are the conditions for emerging environmental activism and policy changes? How has the changing coalition opportunity structure changed environmental activism and affected the change in policy? Finally, to what extent do environmental activism and policy change reinforce the process of political transition among these political systems? Through the lens of an advocacy coalition framework (ACF), drawing on the formation of political coalitions and interactions among policy actors are the variables that affect policy change related to incinerator construction in Guangzhou and Taipei, to explore the larger issue about the political transformation of environmental management in these transitional societies, and revisit the application of ACF in transitional societies.
期刊介绍:
Asian Geographer disseminates knowledge about geographical problems and issues focusing on Asia and the Pacific Rim. Papers dealing with other regions should have a linkage to Asia and the Pacific Rim. Original and timely articles dealing with any field of physical or human geographical inquiries and methodologies will be considered for publication. We welcome, for example, submissions on people-environment interactions, urban and regional development, transport and large infrastructure, migration, natural disasters and their management, environment and energy issues. While the focus of the journal is placed on original research articles, review papers as well as viewpoints and research notes under the category of “Asian Geography in Brief” are also considered. Review papers should critically and constructively analyse the current state of understanding on geographical and planning topics in Asia. The ‘Asian Geography in Brief’ section welcomes submissions of applied geographical and planning research about Asia. The section aims to showcase (1) the diverse geography and planning of Asia; and (2) the diverse geographical and planning research about Asia. The journal will also publish special issues on particular themes or areas. Book reviews can be included from time to time.
