Community-Driven Regulation: Balancing Development and the Environment in Vietnam (Urban and Industrial Environments)
"Dara O'Rourke brings a critically important new dimension to the discourse on sustainability: human agency expressed through community-driven environmental regulation. He offers a rich, detailed account of the Vietnamese people's struggle to sustain their communities against global industry. This book gives hope that continuing political renovation and the rise of civil society in Vietnam can more effectively meet the challenges of environmental management through community-state synergies."--C. Michael Douglass, Director, Globalization Research Center and Professor of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Hawaii
