Balancing technological innovation and environmental regulation: an analysis of Chinese agricultural biotechnology governance

James F. Keeley · 2006 · Environmental Politics

The paper examines how China governs genetically modified crops, particularly Bt cotton and GM rice, analyzing the institutional arrangements and competing biotechnology discourses that shape policy decisions around technology adoption and environmental risk assessment.
