“This book complements existing global environmental governance research and elevates local expertise within east and south-east Asia with a conscious effort to share, build and expand on the existing knowledge. Not only does this edited volume make a valuable intellectual contribution, but it also provides a model for collaborative and team-based social science research, which can be replicated by others wishing to develop similar approaches.” (Devon Cantwell-Chavez, International Affairs, Vol. 99 (3), 2023)
