East Asia hosts a fifth of the worlds population and consumes over half the worlds coal, a quarter of its petroleum products, and a tenth of its natural gas. It also produces a third of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions, making it a major contributor to climate change. The region--whose countries share ecological, sociocultural, and political characteristics while varying in size, resource wealth, history, and political systems--offers excellent insights into the complex dynamics influencing environmental politics, advocacy, and policy. With essays addressing Japan after Fukushima, coal plants and wind turbines in China, environmental activism in Taiwan, and sustainable rural development in South Korea, Greening East Asia explores a regions shift from development to eco-development in acknowledgment that environmental sustainability is a critical component of economic growth.About author(s):Ashley Esarey is assistant professor of political science at the University of Alberta.
