A portfolio approach to energy governance : state management of China's coal and electric power supply industries

[摘要] (cont.) This first implication of this study is that neo-liberal means can be deployed to achieve state-led ends. Second, the study provides evidence that such means of economic liberalization reform need not be cumulative and are, in fact, reversible. Third, the case studies reveal that firm decisions have a significant impact on the execution of these powerful broad central state policy changes that periodically reshape the structure of China;;s energy sector. Finally, this study also raises important implications relating to public policy, and in particular the ability of the Chinese state to fulfill aggressive greenhouse gas emission reductions in an effort to mitigate climate change.
