Lu provides a comprehensive analysis of the regulation of dirty industry migration, a global issue that has complex economic, environmental, and social implications. (Legal Reference)Summary This is the first book to comprehensively analyze the regulation of dirty industry migration - a global issue that has complex economic, environmental and social implications. The dirty industry migration hypothesis postulates that free trade and investment without an adequate consideration on the environment would drive pollution-intensive industries to migrate to countries with laxer environmental regulations or to the 'pollution havens'. In looking at dirty industry migration to china, the book examines the mechanisms of regulation of dirty industry migration under internal trade, investment, environment and human rights laws. Other than international law, this book looks at the host and home country regulation of dirty industry migration in the context of domestic laws and policies. Finally, this book critically evaluates the voluntary codes relating to corporate environmental citizenship and social responsibility which bear implications on the regulation of dirty industry migration.
