Summary:

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. The collection therefore will function as an invaluable resource for policymakers, environmentalists, and scholars of the Asia-Pacific and elsewhere.
