文档介绍：Global Warming and East Asia
Global Warming and East Asia analyses the domestic politics, foreign policy and
international relations of climate change in East and Southeast Asia.
The countries of this important region are often disproportionately affected by
global warming and climate change, and as their economies grow they make
these problems worse. The contributors investigate the increasingly widespread
and disparate efforts to address global warming at international, national and
local levels, and in so doing increase our understanding of a region vital to miti-
gating and coping with climate change.
This unique volume includes in-depth studies of China and Japan, two of the
most important countries in East Asia with regard to global warming, and exam-
ines the role of other East and Southeast Asian countries, such as Indonesia and
the Philippines, bating the problem.
Paul G. Harris is an associate professor of politics at Lingnan University,
Hong Kong, and director of the Project on Environmental Change and Foreign
Policy.

contemporary politics. The s
