Author Description

China, India, and East and Southeast Asia: Assessing Sustainability provides unprecedented analyses by regional experts, and by scholars elsewhere in the world, on China, India, and their neighbors. Despite growing demands on their natural resources (China and India alone are home to more than one third of the world’s population), the expanding global economic influence of this region makes these countries vital players in a sustainable future for all citizens of the Earth. Regional coverage includes topics such as business and commerce, environmental and corporate law, and lifestyles and values. The volume places special focus on demographics, geography, educational initiatives, international relationships and negotiations related to sustainable practices, and the role of government and corporations in promoting or discouraging sustainable choices.
