Air Pollution Policy in Singapore, Dalian, and Hong
Kong. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Dec 2008, Pages: 92
This text presents the results of a comparative
study of the development and enforcement of air
pollution policies in three large Asian port cities:
Singapore, Hong Kong and Dalian. It examines why
these cities have evolved along different lines of
environmental policy development and enforcement.
The text addresses the causes for differing
governmental attitudes regarding environmental
policy in these three cities, including the effect
that political will has had on the development and
enforcement of environmental legislation. Special
attention is paid to differences in government
structure and the effect this may have had on
legislation and enforcement. This work draws on a
series of interviews with government officials,
academics and leaders of local non-governmental
organizations conducted in 2004 to explore the role
that government structure and the presence or
absence of political will has in accounting for
differences in environmental policy and enforcement.
Findings highlight the key role of political will,
particularly when fostered by a popular public
figure in positive environmental outcomes.
