Description
China, India, and East and Southeast Asia: Assessing Sustainability provides a groundbreaking overview of the environmental challenges facing the most populous parts of Asia. China and India are home to more than one third of the world's population and the expanding global economic influence of this region makes these countries vital players in a sustainable future for all citizens of the Earth. Regional coverage includes topics such as business and commerce, environmental and corporate law, and values and technology. The volume places special focus on demographics, geography, educational initiatives, international relationships, and negotiations related to sustainable practices. It also includes substantial coverage of the region's environmental history, and explores the role of government and corporations in promoting or discouraging sustainable choices. (Central and Western Asia are included in Volume 9.).
