EAST ASIA AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Second call for contributors. (Please share with interested scholars and
relevant lists.)
Dear Colleagues,
We have been asked by Routledge to serve as editors of the ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK
OF EAST ASIA AND THE ENVIRONMENT. The book is intended to be a key resource for
readers interested in the social, cultural and policy aspects of the
environment in East Asia (East, Northeast and Southeast Asia).
We have received proposals for most of the chapters. (If you previously sent us
a proposal, we’ll be in touch very soon. We expect to decide the lineup of
contributors by early May.)
We still have a few topics to cover. If you or someone you know might be
interested in writing on one or more of the following topics, please get in
touch with us as soon as possible.
+Culture and the Environment in East Asia (this might include religion and
Asian philosophies, and a discussion of growing consumption/consumerism)
+Human health and the environment in East Asia (ideally discussing
environment-human relationships impacting health)
+Air pollution in East Asia (this could include national cases/examples, but we
hope this will also look at transboundary air pollution, such as regional air
pollution and/or acid rain in NE Asia and smoke haze in SE Asia)
+Water pollution in East Asia (ideally comparative and/or transnational
analysis)
+ Garbage and waste pollution/management (ideally including controversies over
solutions, such as incineration, recycling, taxes and “confronting consumption”)
We also welcome proposals for chapters on other topics, especially if they have
regional coverage (that is, we discourage proposals focused on single country
cases).
Each chapter should provide a comprehensive review of the issues, focusing on
how society and policymaking combine in efforts within and among countries of
the region to respond to environmental and resource challenges. Chapters should
be 7,000-8,000 words in length (including references), with a planned deadline
of late October 2012.
Please kindly share this call for contributors to interested experts and
relevant lists.
Many thanks.
