Deadline: 15 October 2012
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.
