About the product

The East Asian region has seen considerable growth in its economy, industrial base, and population in the last two decades. Incidentally, all three of these factors are often linked to over-exploitation and degradation of environmental resources. This book provides an overview of governance policy with regards to environmental challenges in the region. It covers the following countries: Japan, Korea, Malaysia, China and Thailand, a grouping politically and historically diverse enough to provide a glimpse of typical East Asian governance mechanism.
