Three decades of rapid industrialization until the lifting of
martial law in 1987, with little or no concern for the environment,
have made Taiwan's environmental degradation a serious problem. In
the past twenty years, Taiwan has seen a surge of environmental
organizations, which to a certain degree have enjoyed a remarkable
success in fighting polluting industries or affecting policies on
behalf of the environment. This book aims to analyse environmental
governance mechanisms and actors in Taiwan through a
multi-disciplinary research approach. Based on extensive and
original research, it includes four different case studies, which
have all taken place since 2011. It focuses on four major elements
of governance - specifically norms, actors, processes, and outcomes
- to examine Taiwan's national and local environmental governance
in the post-2008 period. The book shows how the painful lessons
Taiwan has learned throughout its transition should be of interest
to other developing countries, illustrating how these positive
transformations have managed to bring about a more ecologically
friendly mode of economic development. Demonstrating that the
battle to further ecological sustainability is also a battle to
further democratisation, this book will be of interest to students
and scholars of Taiwan Studies, Developmental Studies and
Environmental Studies.
