ABSTRACT

In this chapter, a first single case study is reported: the Panyu waste incineration power plant. This case occurred in Guangzhou, an economically well-developed region of China. Five government strategies identified in Chapter 3, namely go-alone, suppression, tension reduction, and facilitation/collaboration were adopted by local governments during this case. I use process tracing to explain why local governments in Guangzhou applied these strategies over time. Finally, some conclusions are drawn, resulting in the confirmation, disconfirmation, or specification of some propositions drawn in Chapter 3.
