Book Description

In this study, C. H. Kwan examines the phenomenal economic growth and integration in the Asia-Pacific region since the Plaza Accord of 1985 and the resulting decline of US economic hegemony. He explores the possibility of self-sustaining growth in the region and the formation of a Yen Bloc. Economic Interdependence in the Asia-Pacific Region brings an analytical approach to recent macroeconomic developments in the area and focuses on the "real" and "monetary" aspects of creating a Yen Bloc.

Drawing on his wide experience in both Asia and Japan, Kwan presents a balanced view of the subject. He shows how Japan has replaced the United States as Asia's most important source of Direct Foreign Investment and how national borders have been opened to economic integration. He discusses exchange rate fluctuations, changes in the flow of trade, balance of payments trends and the "internationalization of the yen" as the key currency in the Asia-Pacific region.

Book Description

Much of our experience with innovative approaches to governance at the international level involves natural resources and the environment. Whereas the Cold War bred an intense concern with the preservation of existing institutions, the emerging environmental agenda has prompted an awareness of the need for new arrangements to achieve sustainable human/environment relations. Especially notable is the growth of specific regimes to deal with matters such as endangered plants and animals, migratory species, airborne pollutants, marine pollution, hazardous wastes, ozone depletion, and climate change. Nonstate actors have made particularly striking advances in the creation and maintenance of these environmental regimes.

The contributors to this volume draw upon the experiences of environmental regimes to examine the problems of international governance in the absence of a world government. In the process, they address four central questions: Has regime analysis produced a distinctive conception of governance that can be applied to the solution of collective-action problems at the international level? Can we identify the conditions necessary for international "governance without government" to succeed? Does the emergence of regimes in specific issue areas have broader consequences for the future of international society? Can we generalize from experience with environmental issues to a broader range of international governance problems?

Thought Provoking.......2000-07-04

Something new is going on in the world today. The citizens of planet Earth are trying to solve -- or at least manage -- our common problems of a global nature. And, we're trying to do it without creating a centralized world government. The result is a hodge-podge of treaties, accords, regulations, and inter-governmental organizations that (almost) defy description.

This book takes a look at the international environmental regimes in this mix, and it tries to make sense of them. In the process, the reader can ponder a number of intriguing questions. Like, how is our notion of "national sovereignty" changing as the world becomes smaller? What is "governance without government?" What is the role of global civil society in the creation of international regimes? And, is it possible to measure the effectiveness of the various regimes?

In the end, the author and his contributors raise more questions than they answer, but that's to be expected. It just shows how much we have to learn about managing our world in a cooperative fashion.

As the title suggests, this books is primarily about governance and world order. Don't buy it if you're looking for a description of ecosystems and the natural environment.

Book Description

`Impact assessment of various types is now a widely used policy tool. This volume helpfully brings together conceptual discussions and case-studies to illustrate how impact assessment can be used to address issues of sustainability. It should be of considerable interest both to academic researchers and to practitioners concerned with the implementation of policies to support sustainable development.'
- John Weiss, University of Bradford, UK

Translation of the principle of sustainable development into policy and practice, and the evaluation of the outcomes of these strategic interventions, are some of the most pressing challenges facing policymakers in Europe and beyond. The chapters in this book contribute to the debate surrounding these challenges. By exploring the conceptual and methodological issues relating to the evaluation of sustainable development and analysing European practice and experience, this work provides a coherent and integrated contribution to our understanding of these issues.

Book Description

Groundwater is being depleted on a large scale in many arid and semi-arid parts of the world. It is often said that this precious resource is being wasted at the expense of future generations. But should ground-water depletion be avoided at any price? Or is depletion desirable in certain circumstances? If there is to be a reduction in groundwater depletion, how can it be achieved? And how can limited water resources be allocated to their most valuable uses?
The author addresses these issues by undertaking an economic analysis, and considers the political and hydrological aspects of water management. Various methods of assessing the economic value of water are presented, a hydroeconomic model is developed to enable the economic value of groundwater stocks in differrent circumstances to be estimated, and a framework for the analysis of agricultural-urban water transfers is introduced. Eight types of groundwater management policy instruments are discussed on the basis of both theory and international experience.
