The Political Economy of the Environment - The Case of Japan

The first authoritative study of Japan''s environmental problems by the acclaimed environmental economist, placing environmental issues within a socioeconomic context. In providing an historical account of environmental disruption in Japan, the author takes a number of key cases of industrial pollution in the pre-war and post-war periods and illustrates the effectiveness of taking into account socioeconomic affairs. Finally, he proposes a set of concrete countermeasures against environmental problems, applicable to all developed countries today, aimed at achieving a new ''quality of life''.First published in 2000, this title is part of the Bloomsbury Academic Collections series.>
