This book offers a systematic and original analysis of how disciplinary pressure shapes food safety regulation in China.

Focusing on punishment as a regulatory incentive, the book shows that disciplinary action is driven not only by regulatory failure but also by public opinion, institutional design, and the discretionary space within which regulators work. Combining historical analysis, comparative case studies of Shenzhen and Beijing, and an original multi-city survey, the book opens the black box of regulatory discipline and explains how intensified accountability can both strengthen compliance and generate defensive governance. Readers will benefit from a theoretically grounded and empirically rich account of how negative incentives operate in contemporary regulation and from a deeper understanding of the tensions among discipline, performance, and state capacity in China and beyond.
