This book confronts issues relating to climate change and
sustainable development innovations in Asia, with attention to key
issues and applications in terms of advocacy, governance, citizen
science, tradition, faith, leadership, and education. With
contributions by 31 leading thinkers from countries in Asia, the
book presents issues and poses potential solutions for sustainable
development, responding to questions relating to problems
prioritized by non-state actors for civic engagement. It also puts
forward key strategies and methods used for civic engagement.
Drawing from diverse sets of practical and scholarly experience and
expertise in geographical and social arenas, authors draw from
real-time engagement with specific peoples, often associated with
civil society organizations, and conduct an exploration of the
essential issue of what the world means in the context of different
cultures, thus constructively fusing the two key themes of ecology
and anthropology. In doing so, this book enables new ways of
thinking about human relationships with nature, relating rich and
diverse examples of transformative learning. Co-published with
Indonesian press OBOR, this is a vital collection for practitioners
and researchers working in areas of ecology, sustainable
development, human ecology, governance, geography, environmental
science and post-neoliberal economics, particularly in an Asian
context. "Civic Engagement in Asia weaves together a set of
fascinating stories and examples of sustainable development
practice told from the perspectives of non-state actors. Written by
a set of top scholars and activists from around the region, it will
be an informative read for all those who feel a sense of urgency
around the environmental, social, and economic transformations
taking place across Asia today" - Celia Lowe, Professor of
Anthropology and International Studies, University of Washington,
Seattle
