Abstract: As the greatest coal-producing and consuming nation in the world, China would seem an unlikely haven for wind power. Yet the country now boasts a world-class industry that promises to make low-carbon technology more affordable and available to all. Conducting an empirical study of China's remarkable transition and the possibility of replicating their model elsewhere, this book adds greater depth to a theoretical understanding of China's technological innovation systems and its current and future role in a globalised economy.
