| book description |
This volume explores the influences of global environmental discourses, and local traditions and practices, in 12 countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Two fundamental, interlocking questions are addressed: to what degree is a common environmental discourse emerging within the region?; and 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 findings that illuminate the patterns of social and environmental conditions within the Asia-Pacific. Offering conclusions concerning the direction of environmental policy and education in the region, the book should be of interest to students, researchers and policy-makers alike.
