Governance, Politics and the Environment

No rigorous research has been directed into the nature and significance of the relationship between government and civil society in individual country studies, with specific reference to the environmental policy sector, or into how this relationship may be evolving. This book explores this connection in Singapore, and what causes it to evolve.
