"Despite China's repressive environment, the public, organised by environmental non-governmental or-ganisations (ENGOs), are represented in local environmental governance; their voices are articulated and policy-making is affected. Empirical findings from ENGOs in two Chinese cities demonstrate that envi-ronmental activism is not an activity with a fair degree of autonomy and self-regulation, but occupies a social space that is enmeshed in a web of interpersonal relations and informal/formal rules between po-litical and social actors. Contextual factors of economic development, openness of the political system and local culture also have impacts on movement dynamics in different locations." |
