This volume addresses the management of conflicts that involve the siting of unwanted projects in the Asia-Pacific region. Contributors are renowned scholars in environmental policy and write from actual experience with the region, employing theoretical, comparative, and policy-based approaches to an analysis of environmental conflict, risk management, and public participation.
