Summary

"Greening Industrialization in Asian Transitional Economies explores the role of the environment in Asia's difficult transition to a market economy, focusing on the cases of China and Vietnam. Using these countries as springboards, Mol and van Buuren's volume provides a comprehensive assessment of the state of industrial environmental management.
In informative, accessible chapters, scholars experienced in fieldwork and research discuss the movement for cleaner production that has arisen since the end of the Cold War, providing important research data on its historical roots, political influences, implementation, and economic and technological feasibility.
These essays offer readers both an in-depth understanding of the necessity for environmental improvements in rapidly industrializing economies and a frank appraisal of the difficulties and challenges inherent in achieving this goal."--BOOK JACKET.
