“BUILDING FOOD SAFETY GOVERNANCE IN CHINA” is a PDF book by a group of Chinese scholars has just been published by the European Union. The book in PDF format is available at https://eeas.europa.eu/sites/eeas/files/building_food_safety_governance_in_china.pdf
““This book contains a comprehensive review and analysis of the current Chinese food safety regulatory framework. China is a country of paradoxes, relying on its age-old history on one hand, and able to quickly implement considerable changes on the other hand. I contributed to training courses on food safety organised in the context of the Shanghai 2010 Expo and could already feel there the resolute determination to progress of the Chinese authorities. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in food safety in China”.

Academic, David Cohig writes…
A book on a technical subject yes. I found the book helpful not only to educate myself on food safety in China but also as a lens to look at decades of development of Chinese law, politics and economy.
Politics does rear its ugly head along the way. Or perhaps this is just a matter of politics taking command. Dealing with messy realities with the governance system of today and thinking about how it might be made to work a bit better.
