Japanese environmental management style is in many ways distinct
from that found in Europe or the USA. There is less emphasis on
litigation, more emphasis on administrative guidance and
considerable use of voluntary mechanisms for policy implementation.
This volume considers what factors may have contributed to Japan's
relatively successful efforts at dealing with severe industrial
pollution and problems associated with rapid urbanization. The book
introduces Japan's environmental history, its key environmental
regulations and the forces that have driven Japan to introduce
these environmental regulations and programs. It also examines the
various formal and informal institutional mechanisms and policy
instruments that have been introduced over the past several decades
to implement pollution control and energy conservation. The authors
conclude by putting Japan's environmental policy experiences in
comparative perspective and considering what useful lessons can be
drawn from the Japanese experience for developing nations.
Providing a detailed analysis of environmental policies and policy
instruments in Japan by leading experts in the field, this book
will be of great interest to students of environmental policy and
politics and policymakers concerned with environmental protection
in Asia.
