Exploring International Environmental Governance Regimes: The Asian Way

handle is hein.journals/wisint34 and id is 603 raw text is: EXPLORING INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL GOVERNANCE REGIMES: THE ASIAN WAY RODA MUSHKAT* ABSTRACT Ecological degradation and strategies to combat it have loomed increasingly large on the socio-legal research agenda for the past three decades. The scholarly attention they have garnered has spawned a rich literature on multi-level environmental governance, including on an international, and even global, scale. Social scientists have spearheaded the quest for gaining a deeper insight into the phenomenon, but students of law have also been active participants in the process of knowledge accumulation. Asian inputs have been relatively modest and produced comparatively late in the long journey of scientific, or quasi-scientific, discovery. Yet they enhance the understanding of the issues broadly addressed, even if at times in a critical fashion, despite their selective focus and the paucity of constructively articulated suggestions for remedial action.
