Features: The author emphasizes both the interaction and integration among various stakeholders in the book, presenting a highly reasonable paradigm study. The author's analysis of the government, enterprises, and other social groups is based on a substantial amount of data and facts, with a particularly insightful examination of the driving forces behind government behavior. An interesting phenomenon is that during this current transition period, most enterprises have not truly completed their corporatization transformation, making it impossible to speak of their good fulfillment of corporate social responsibility. Meanwhile, the significance of the public, organizational level, and action will are often weak. As guardians of public interest, the government has also failed to fulfill its responsibilities well. The integration of multidisciplinary knowledge is a key feature of this book and an important guarantee for the success of urban water environment research. The author organically combines knowledge from sociology, urban science, environmental science, political economy, and other disciplines, allowing us to understand the driving forces behind stakeholder behavior and the underlying weaknesses from multiple perspectives. These weaknesses are often critical points for improving environmental governance.
