| Summary: | What motivates people to become involved in issues beyond national borders and how are activists changed and movements transformed by reaching out to others a world away? 'Transnational Japan in the Global Environmental Movement' addresses these questions through the lens of the contemporary Japanese environmental movement. Spanning from the era of industrial pollution in the 1960s to the recent rise of movements addressing global environmental problems, the text shows how Japanese activists influenced approaches to environmentalism in the Asia-Pacific, North America, and Europe, as well as at landmark United Nations conferences in 1972 and 1992 |
