(Ebook) East Asian Experience in Environmental Governance: Response in a Rapidly Changing Region by Zafar Adeel ISBN 9780585485553, 9789280810721, 0585485550, 9280810723

This volume provides a broad overview of the existing governance regime that deals with the environmental challenges in the East Asian region. Three sectors are given deeper analysis: pesticide management; water quality and resources management; and air pollution management. These sectors are closely linked to the economic and industrial growth of the region. The book focuses on five countries that represent a range of economies from highly industrialized to industrializing to developing. This group also provides a mix of political and historical backgrounds that are diverse enough to provide a glimpse of the "typical" East Asian governance mechanisms. The case studies and findings of this book should help in developing a fundamental understanding about environmental governance in terms of what works and what does not in East Asia.
