About the Special Issue:
The Asia Pacific region is unquestionably one of the most economically dynamic areas in the world. In the People’s
Republic of China, India, Malaysia, Vietnam, and, recently, Thailand, to name a few countries, the financial crisis of the late 1990s now seems only a small irritation in two decades of steady economic growth. The central questions that lay behind all contributions to this special issue are to what extent and especially how Asian industrializing and developing economies today have included environmental reforms in their development paths and trajectories. In investigating environmental reforms in
Asian economies, the various contributions to this special issue use comparative methodologies to search for successes and failures in environmental governance and reform and to identify factors, actors, institutional designs, and circumstances that explain these successes and failures. Rather then comparing contemporary Asian economies with Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) counties in the past, the emphasis of most articles in this special issue is on specific environmental issues within a limited number of Asian countries, allowing for in-depth analyses of both successes and failures in environmental reform.
