In the past two decades, research on environmental issues in East
and Southeast Asian countries has mainly focused on existing
institutional mechanisms of environmental management, the
establishment of new environmental management structures, the
introduction of incentives to improve natural capital and foster
environmental protection, and the culture of environmental or
"green" groups. Virtually no rigorous research has been directed
into the nature and significance of the existing relationship
between government and civil society in individual country studies,
with specific reference to the environmental policy sector, or into
how this relationship may be evolving. This book explores this
connection in Singapore, and what causes it to evolve, through
three case narratives. Its rationale is to address this gap in the
literature from a "governance theory" perspective that focuses on
state adaptation to the external environment and new forms of
coordination and collaboration between government and civil society
to tackle new societal problems. The application of the "governance
theory" approach to specific case studies is itself a topic that
deserves much greater study than what it has so far received.
