Abstract

SEA was introduced in China in 2003 by theEIA Law. However, most Chinese provinces were slow to establish their own SEA systems. This paper reviews the Chinese SEA institutional arrangements, regulations and documents, both, at national and at provincial levels. The paper concludes that the slow establishment of the provincial SEA systems has been caused by the nature of Chinese SEA institutional arrangements, regulations and documents at national level. For example, lack of willingness to carry out SEAs; failure to strengthen Environmental Protection Bureaus (EPBs) at all levels; and the narrow range of plans requiring SEA. Suggestions are made for improving the SEA institutional arrangements and regulations. This paper provides a specific perspective by reviewing the Chinese SEA system through linking the establishment of provincial SEA systems to the national SEA institutional arrangements and regulations. Suggestions are made for further research.
