In a country known for tight political control and ineffectual courts, Environmental Litigation in China unravels how everyday justice works: how judges make decisions, why lawyers take cases, and how international influence matters. It is a readable account of how the leadership's mixed signals and political ambivalence play out on the ground - propelling some, such as the village doctor who fought a chemical plant for more than a decade, even as others back away from risk. Yet this remarkable book shows that even in a country where expectations would be that law wouldn't much matter, environmental litigation provides a sliver of space for legal professionals to explore new roles and, in so doing, probe the boundary of what is politically possible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46494169989271,"sku":"9781107020023","price":13209.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/environmental-litigation-in-china-a-study-in-political-ambivalence-9781107020023","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
