The share of global CO2 emissions from the core Northeast Asian
(NEA) countries in 2015 was estimated to be as high as 33.63
percent. Representing 28.21, 3.67, and 1.75 percent of total global
emissions, China, Japan, and South Korea were ranked the first,
fifth, and seventh largest contributors, respectively. Some parts
of China, the Republic of Mongolia, the Russian Far East, and
Southeast Asia have long been on serious alert due to accelerated
deforestation. With their rapid population growth and economic
development, the core countries of Northeast Asia are responsible
both directly and indirectly for numerous environmental problems.
Urgent individual and collective action is required from the
region's governments. Against the backdrop of debate on how to
understand Northeast Asia as a "region," Park focuses on the major
regional economies of China, Japan, and South Korea, along with
Russia, North Korea, and the Republic of Mongolia, due to both
their geopolitical proximity and their significance to the region.
The author attempts to answer the questions: "How far has regional
environmental cooperation progressed in Northeast Asia?"; and "Why
are Northeast Asian countries reluctant to cooperate further on
urgent transboundary and regional environmental issues?"

This book offers a rare glimpse into China's Korean minority, which
dominates the area bordering North Korea; even as Korea is riven
into capitalist and communist societies, China's Koreans register
this dilemma as one internal to the society they live in, in
China's postindustrial Northeast. As this research makes clear,
once driven by state investment in industry, the Northeast is now
struggling to define its identity as a post-industrial region; the
ethnic Koreans there even more so. This monograph provides a
distinctive look at a group shaped by political turmoil, economic
transformation, and cultural struggle; the study may offer an idea
of what the future of the Korean peninsula itself might be,
disentangling the puzzling contradictions and synergies between
nationality, locality and development in China.

This book addresses how to mitigate regional tensions and enhance
cooperative opportunities through well-designed regional
institutions and organizations among countries in geographical
proximity. We use the case of Central Asia (i.e., Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan) to employ our
conceptual framework of ‘externally guided regionalism.’ The
following questions guide the study: How and by what forces has
Central Asian regionalism evolved, and what are the main
characteristics and political implications of the continuously
evolving regional institutions? We discuss not only the
extra-regional influential actors (i.e., Russia, the United States,
the European Union, and China), but also intra-regional
initiatives, strategies, and struggles in securing stability and
sovereignty. Extra-regional actors’ growing competition over
molding their own kind of multilateralism involving this region has
contributed to the current direction of Central Asia’s
regionalization. Concurrently, Central Asia’s political
conditions and constraints interactively contribute to
ever-increasing institutional sprawl.
