“…The literature on RSWM in China is extensive. However, few studies have addressed its typical authoritarian governance, despite it being one of the eight major research clusters in environmental governance research (Ohno, 2019). Available literature on China's environmental authoritarianism mainly focuses on legislation (Gilley, 2012;Beeson, 2017;Wang and Jiang, 2020) and policy (Liu et al, 2019), but is rare on public response.…”

Rapid urbanization and industrialization in China, combined with a rural-urban dual structure, have resulted in significant challenges for rural solid waste management (RSWM). Through the issuance of regulations and guidelines, and the allocation of substantial funds, the Chinese government has achieved remarkable success in implementing a top-down, linear, and authoritarian waste system, with the national village-level coverage rate of the rural waste management system growing from zero to over 90% in less than 20 years. This paper provides insights into the factors that influence villagers’ responses (attitudes and behaviors) to authoritarian environmental policy measures. Using primary data from Meizhou County in Guangdong Province (the poorest county in China’s richest province), the study finds that villagers’ attitudes are significantly affected by their satisfaction with the government’s RSWM and their environmental concern, while villagers’ behaviors are significantly influenced by their approval level of the local environment, the availability of solid waste collection (SWC) facilities, and their environmental concern. Thus, villagers’ SWC behaviors are mainly influenced by practical convenience and internal motivation. In general, government-relevant factors do not directly impact villagers’ SWC behaviors but significantly moderate villagers’ behaviors. Surprisingly, the variable of villagers’ education level is a significantly negative factor in affecting both RSWM attitudes and behaviors, implying that future RSWM policy measures should take consider democracy more and value villagers’ participation.

“…Since environmental governance is a comprehensive concept, it has often been loosely used in many contexts without explicit definition. Recent environmental governance studies argue that the absence of a prevailing analytical framework in this field hinders the systematic accumulation of knowledge about it (Young, 2009, p.37;Tacconi, 2011;Visseren-Hamakers, 2015;Bennett & Satterfield, 2018;Ohno, 2019b;Hegger et al, 2020;Newig & Rose, 2020).…”

“…Based on these results, the paper discusses how unconventional policy changes are undertaken under the complex watershed environmental governance and the applicability of the ACF in environmental governance studies and in Japan's subnational policy process context. based governance to global governance (Lemos & Agrawal, 2006;Armitage et al, 2012;Ohno, 2019b) and the interdisciplinary nature of environmental governance studies (Tacconi, 2011), it is difficult to organize the results of these diverse studies under a unified framework. Newig and Rose (2020) characterized environmental governance studies as what Whitley (2000) termed "fragmented adhocracy."…”

“…Collaboration is also one of the focuses of environmental governance research. 4 China's governance processes blur the distinction between the state and other actors, and the “shadow of the state” is a major factor in all efforts to address environmental issues. 5 That is, China's government plays a key role in all sectors of society, the government takes the lead in environmental governance, and its choice of policy instruments determines the degree of participation of other actors.…”

Few studies explored the interaction effect between policy instruments and the policy environment on environmental governance. Based on policy instrument theory, this paper conducts fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to explore the combined effect of policy instruments and the policy environment on the environmental governance efficiency of local governance. This study found four effective configurations of local government environmental governance, which can be summarized as the mandatory mode and the cooperative mode, and three inefficient configurations that can be summarized as the out-of-control mode. The results show that the regions adopting the mandatory mode are economically underdeveloped, while the regions using the cooperative mode are developed. Besides, local government competition leads to the softening of policy instruments, while government-enterprise collusion exacerbates the failure of environmental policy instruments. This paper summarizes the effective modes and reveals the reasons for the low efficiency of local government environmental governance in China. The conclusions provide not only empirical evidence for the study of policy instrument theory but also beneficial insights for the selection of environmental policy instruments and environmental governance practice.
