Publication The Human Dimension of Pollution Policy Implementation: Air Quality in Rural China(Center for Modern China, 2002) Alford, William; Weller, Robert; Hall, Leslyn; Polenske, Karen; Shen, Yuanyuan; Zweig, DavidThe People's Republic of China is experiencing severe air pollution with very serious public health and economic consequences. Over the past decade, the Chinese government has sought to utilize bureaucratic, political, legal and educational vehicles to address these problems. This paper examines the ways in which those policy measures have been communicated to, understood by, and acted upon by the citizenry, drawing in important part on household and epidemiological surveys conducted in Anhui. Our study suggests that the central government's message has yet to be absorbed to the degree intended and then considers both why this has been the case and how the effectiveness of policy mechanisms might be enhanced.Publication Book Review(Seoul National University College of Law, 2001) Alford, WilliamJim West would have been immensely pleased with virtually all major aspects of Recent Transformations in Korean Law and Society save one; namely, the volume's dedication to him. The late Dr. West was an extraordinary, brilliant and deeply caring human being, blending together seemingly disparate interests and attributes in a truly sui generis manner in this all too homogenized world of ours. Consider how this high school footballer wrote his doctoral dissertation at the Harvard Law School on Habermas and Luhmann. Or how this ardent champion of human rights excelled in corporate legal practice. Or how this bear of a man looking like something out of Dostoevsky combined a near congenital shyness with abiding passions and a ferocious intellectual intensity that made him a stunning teacher. But throughout it all, Jim was, if anything, as genuinely humble a person as one might hope to meet, modest about all except the search for justice and the importance of integrity, particularly in intellectual endeavor.Publication Of Arsenic and Old Laws: Looking Anew at Criminal Justice in Late Imperial China(California Law Review Inc., 1984) Alford, WilliamPublication Ventures in the China Trade An Analysis of China's Emerging Legal Framework for the Regulation of Foreign Investment(1981) Alford, William; Birenbaum, DavidIn this Article, Messrs.
