This thesis aims to investigate how and to what extent can China's state manage its climate change adaptation via the construction of a carbon market. Through the theoretical lens of the green state and principal-agent approach, this thesis investigates the role of the state in China's carbon market governance, and the institutional configurations, organisational interactions, and civil society participation in China's green trajectory for facilitating the emergence of a carbon market. By doing this, certain central-local relations and state-market interactions in this novel market-oriented policy experimentation are addressed. In addition, what lies behind this thesis is the exploration of a new carbon governance model that emerges in such a commodification of nature, and a possibly compatible alternative for the economy and the environment.Methodologically, the qualitative analysis is mostly based on semistructured interviews with a total of 36 professionals, including both state and non-state actors in China's carbon market. Supplementary to the interviews with the elites, an in-depth policy document analysis is conducted. Beijing City and Jiangsu Province are used as two independent cases to see how the carbon market is deployed at the local level.I conclude that China is seen as an emerging green state with limited network and reveals a hybrid form of top-down, non-participatory carbon market governance model. Chinese state enhances its top-down control through the lens of SOEs and robust regulations of the market. The limited participation of civil society actors in China's carbon market, especially the constrained roles of the NGOs in the policy process of decision-making, makes it more difficult for the state to permeate the ecological modernisation discourse into the local level of carbon market governance. Furthermore, China's experience of carbon market construction reveals a long-held inveterate conflict between the economy and environment in the policy process, where I argue, a seemingly weak but window-dressing version of ecological modernisation exists as a veil for the state to legitimise itself in its green trajectory.
