This book explores environmental victims' movements and how they have shaped the history of East Asia. The book focuses on the impact of these movements and whether the ideas of environmental justice in this region align with Western concepts or whether they take a different approach. Bringing together leading researchers in the field and using in-depth case studies from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China, the chapters trace the evolution of victims' movements, uncover their distinctive characteristics, and reveal the forms of environmental sociology they have inspired. Offering fresh insights into the intersection of social activism and environmental change, this volume is essential reading for anyone interested in environmental justice, social movements, and the dynamics of East Asian societies.
