CFP: Environmental Politics in the Asia-Pacific Region

The Association for Pacific Studies invites paper proposals for a special issue Pacific News devoted to Environmental Politics in the Asia - Pacific region. Current and future environmental change present human societies with unparalleled challenges. Many environmental issues are either the cause of – or at least intensified by – human action/inaction and responses to environmental change therefore need to be based on adaptations of our societies. This special issue aims to critically examine how environmental change is being addressed in the Asia - Pacific region. The publishers are seeking contributions of 16,000 and 20,000 characters (without empty spaces but including list of references) from emerging scholars from a variety of disciplines (such as – but not limited to – geography, sociology, anthropology, political science, environmental studies, development studies, human ecology, history) who are engaged in research on the wider topic of environmental politics and are interested in contributing to the special issue. Manuscripts, written in English on any aspect of environmental politics in the Asia - Pacific region are invited for submission. The deadline for submission is February 18, 2013. Please send submissions to mosedalejan@gmail.com. All submitted manuscripts will be subject to a doubleblind review process. The publication of the Special Issue is planned for May 2013.
