Game Theory and Policy Making in Natural Resources and the Environment
This book includes chapters by experts from developing and developed countries that apply game theory to issues in natural resources and the environment, demonstrating the usefulness of game theory in policy-making and appealing to a wide audience.
Governing Low-carbon Development and the Economy
Based on results of the first phase of the Kyoto Protocol—which requires participating industrial countries to limit their carbon emissions—this book recommends creating a global regulatory regime that would set emission targets for all nations. The authors argue that once these targets and the policies for meeting them are established, countries will be spurred to develop lower-carbon-producing economies. The book discusses experiences in Japan primarily, along with results from collaborative research between Japan and the Republic of Korea and comparative studies between Japan and Germany. The chapters adopt different perspectives, looking at the issue from the discipline of economics as well as a more sociological, neo-institutionalist viewpoint.--Publisher's description.
Climate Change Policy in Japan
Amidst growing environmental concerns worldwide, Japan is seen as particularly vulnerable to the effects of changing climate. This book considers Japan’s response to the climate change problem from the late 1980s up to the present day, assessing how the Japanese government’s policy-making process has developed over time. From the early days of climate change policy in Japan, through the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change conferences and Kyoto Protocol, right up to the 2015 negotiations, the book examines the environmental, economic, and political factors that have shaped policy. As the 2015 Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change projects forward beyond 2020, the book concludes by analyzing how Japan has placed itself in the global climate change debate and how the country might and should respond to the problem in the future, based on the findings from accumulated history.
Transition Management for Sustainable Development
The idea of sustainable development is often referred to in the public forum, however this does not necessarily mean that it is also widely accepted as a living philosophy, nor that it has come to be embodied in public policy. Consequently, there is a need to precisely examine the problems brought about by the economic mechanisms standing in the way of this goal--in particular globalization--and to draw up plans to counteract these influences. In the meantime, sustainability transitions do require a series of system innovations and transitions, and it is important to foster robust environmental governance for sustainable development. This book aims firstly to examine the implications of the idea of sustainable development for institutional and policy designs. Secondly, it aims to clarify the political, social and economic conditions for successful sustainability transitions, by means of the detailed empirical analysis of a host of challenging social experiments for sustainable development. Finally, it searches for, and formulates, a viable theory of transition management for sustainable development.--Publisher description.

International Frameworks and Technological Strategies to Prevent Climate Change
This timely book presents the results of the research project "International Frameworks and Technological Strategies to Prevent Climate Change" conducted under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan. The volume opens with the editor’s preface on strategies to prevent global warming after effectuation of the Kyoto Protocol. The 15 chapters that follow are divided into three sections: Functioning of the Kyoto Mechanism, China and International Cooperation on Global Warming, and Assessments of Technology Strategies Toward Issues of Energy, Economy, and the Environment. The contributors, from Japan and other Asian nations, draw upon their expertise in a wide range of fields - economics, management, political science, energy, climate and environment studies, and technology - to explore such issues as emissions trading, the clean development mechanism, econometric analysis, and environmental assessment models.
