The economies located in East, South and Southeast Asia have
witnessed an interesting growth-sustainability trade-off over the
last decades. While growth considerations have paved ways for
deepened ties with growing trade-investment waves and increasing
population pressure necessitated exploitation of hitherto
unutilized natural resources, focus on environmental sustainability
has been a recent consideration. The growth impetus still playing a
key role in these economies, it becomes imperative that the
countries effectively address the key sustainability concerns, e.g.
air and water pollution, land degradation, loss of biodiversity,
climate change issues like CO2 emissions etc. But how prepared is
the governance mechanism of these countries, covering not only the
legislative and administrative framework but also involvement of
the judiciary, presence of spirited civil society and active
engagement of stakeholders in policy-framing dialogues, to rise up
to these challenges? The book seeks an answer to this question
through the environmental governance mechanism and natural resource
conservation policies in three vibrant regions within Asia. A
holistic development dimension of sustainable development path
emerges, through discussion of policies adopted by developed
(Japan, South Korea), upper-middle (China, Malaysia), developing
(India, Indonesia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand) and least
developed countries (Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal).
