This volume contains a selection of papers that were presented at the Asia- Link RECREATE seminar at the University of Economics, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, in June 2007 and the international Asia-Link RECREATE conference at Nanjing Agriculture University, China, in October 2008. The seminar, the conference and the publication of this book are part of Asia- Link’s “Restructuring Higher EduCation in Resource and Environmental Economics in East Asian Transition Economies” project activities, which have been funded by the European Union under its Asia-Link programme.
The primary objectives of the Asia-Link RECREATE project have been the
• strengthening of staff capacity for education and research in resource and environmental economic at Nanjing Agricultural University (NAU) and at the University of Economics, Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) and
• development and revision of educational curricula in environmental and resource economics at the undergraduate and graduate levels at the respective universities in Vietnam and China.
The majority of the authors included herein are from partner institutions of the Asia-Link RECREATE project, including Wageningen University, The Netherlands; Nanjing Agricultural University, China; University of Economics, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; Humboldt University Berlin, Germany; and the International Institute of Social Studies, The Hague, The Netherlands, but also from other researchers in Southeast Asia working on environmental and natural resource economic issues in the region. The selected papers provide an overview, albeit not a complete one, regarding the environmental and natural resource problems Southeast Asian countries are facing from an economic perspective. The papers are written in such a way so that they can serve as supporting case study material for classes in environmental and natural resource economics at the graduate level. But we also hope that environmental and natural resource economists with an interest in Southeast Asia will find the various chapters of interest as well as stimulating for their own research.
