Förlagets beskrivning
This important volume explores the influence of global environmental
discourses, and local traditions and practices, in twelve countries in the
Asia-Pacific region. Two fundamental, interlocking questions are addressed: To
what degree is a common environmental discourse emerging within the region? To
what degree do environmental attitudes and behaviour remain embedded in local
traditions and practices? Answers to these questions are sought on the basis of
two parallel groups of studies. The first closely examines cultural influences
in individual countries, including traditional attitudes to nature and the
contemporary politics of the environment. Against this background, the second
study examines the attitudes of young people across the region, based upon
extensive survey and focus group data. Emerging from these investigations are
striking findings that illuminate the patterns of social and environmental
conditions within the Asia-Pacific. Offering a wealth of original material and
data, and important conclusions concerning the direction of environmental
policy and education in the region, the book will be of value to students,
researchers and policy-makers alike. This important new book explores the influences of global environmental
discourses and local traditions and practises in twelve countries in the
Asia-Pacific region.
