Illustrated by a detailed comparative examination of mining
regulations and environmental impact assessment (EIA) in the USA
(the second largest producer of coal in the world) and Indonesia
(the eighth largest and most rapidly growing), this book argues
that the degree of policy integration often determines the success
or failure in controlling environmental effects of mining
operations. Comparison of surface mining regulation in the two
countries provides some stark contrasts, some surprising results
concerning the diffusion of policy innovations from one country to
another, and instances of both policy success and failure. The book
provides significant new insights into international relations and
comparative environmental policy, particularly as they affect
rainforests and biodiversity. It also suggests that if mining
environmental policy were to be effectively implemented, the
environmental degradation caused need not be permanent.
