Reviews for The Regulatory Regime of Food Safety in China. Governance and Segmentation.
“The book brings interesting insights into the regulatory system of food safety in China. It is a useful entry point into the intricate question of food safety in China, a topic of main concern since the contaminated milk powder incident in 2008.” (Louis Augustin-Jean, newbooks.asia, July 3, 2020)
