Description
Book SynopsisThis volume features a set of distinct, compelling, and intentionally disparate case studies that shed much needed attention on the varied ways in which local cultural, social, and political dynamics inform and mitigate the veritable roadmap toward palpable and meaningful progress with respect to enabling the goals of environmental sustainability. The volume includes contributions from notable academics including some based in Southeast Asia - with on the ground experience,' and thus they bring a much more nuanced and locally informed orientation to their respective contributions.
