| Summary |
"This volume explores the influences of global environmental discourses, and local traditions and practices, in twelve countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Two fundamental questions are explored in the book: 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?" "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."--BOOK JACKET |
