Bryan Tilt sees two pillars and three processes (strategies) of environmental actionin the PRC. Do these pillars and processes seem adequate to move environmental protection sufficiently forward, or do you think that the absence in the PRC of social movements such as Liu has described for Taiwan and South Korea fatally weakens environmental
protection?

This essay has no single right or wrong answer; Im looking for a good argument rather than for a right answer. Thus, formulate a thesis, and then argue for it in well-organized paragraphs that give persuasive examples and evidence from the readings and lecture. Be sure to answer all parts of the question. Be sure to cite the readings when appropriate giving author and page number in parentheses.
