{"product_id":"governance-politics-and-the-environment-maria-francesch-huidobro-9789812308320","title":"Governance, Politics and the Environment: A Singapore Study","description":"In the past two decades, research on environmental issues in East and Southeast Asian countries has mainly focused on existing institutional mechanisms of environmental management, the establishment of new environmental management structures, the introduction of incentives to improve natural capital and foster environmental protection, and the culture of environmental or \"green\" groups. Virtually no rigorous research has been directed into the nature and significance of the existing 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, through three case narratives. Its rationale is to address this gap in the literature from a \"governance theory\" perspective that focuses on state adaptation to the external environment and new forms of coordination and collaboration between government and civil society to tackle new societal problems. The application of the \"governance theory\" approach to specific case studies is itself a topic that deserves much greater study than what it has so far received.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maria Francesch-Huidobro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9812308326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789812308320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Iseas-Yusof Ishak Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/09\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.06d","brand":"Maria Francesch-Huidobro","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48437412823295,"sku":"9789812308320","price":155.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ba33ca29-cc9b-48d9-9e9b-d6c6de603577.jpg?v=1777161642","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/governance-politics-and-the-environment-maria-francesch-huidobro-9789812308320","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
