description

After the wave of democratization and decentralization in several Asian nations in the 1980s and 1990s, there was a marked increase in environmental policy-making. However, social differences among the various countries led to diverse political consequences and therefore a diversity of environmental policies. This collaborative volume outlines political changes in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Indonesia during the past 20 years. Against this backdrop, it analyzes and compares environmental policies as well as future prospects for the environment in these countries.
