Abstract

In this ThinkChina.dk Policy Brief, Yi Ma and Wen Xiang give an introduction to a new form of police-patrol in China's environmental governance, the Environmental Administrative Public Interest Litigation (EAPIL). The policy brief seeks to explain where EAPIL comes from, how it has been implemented, and investigate the implications for the future political and legal development in China's environmental governance.
