This important book explores the interaction of global environmental discourses and local traditions and practices in twelve countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Based upon two parallel groups of studies, reviewing cultural influences in individual countries, and the attitudes of young people across the region, it has important implications for environmental policy and education.
'...Fascinating and important book...the quality of writing throughout is inspirational. This book should be read by all sixth form and university students - and certainly by those with planning or policy-making responsibilities, in South Asia or elsewhere.' - Tony Merritt, Geography, April 2001
'...an ambitious attempt to understand the influence of global environmental discourses and local traditions and practices in 12 countries in the Asia-Pacific region.' - Environmental Education Research, Vol.7, No.1, 2001
