The Ethics of Japans Global Environmental Policy

This book examines the Japanese government policies that impact on the environment in order to determine whether they incorporate a sufficient ethical substance. Through the three case studies on whaling, nuclear energy and forestry, the author explores how Western philosophers combined their theories to develop a Western environmental ethics code and reveals the existence of a unique Japanese environmental ethics code built on Japans cultural traditions, religious practices and empirical experiences.

Kagawa-Foxs discussions show that, in spite of the positive contributions that Japan has made towards the global environment, the government has failed to show a corresponding moral obligation to the world ecology in its environ - mental policy. The book argues that this is a result of the integrity of the policies having been compromised by vested interests, and that Japanese business and politics ensure that the policies are primarily focused on main - taining sustainable economic growth. While Japans global environmental initiatives are the key to its economic survival in the twenty-first century, and these initiatives may achieve their aims, they do, however, fail the Japanese code of environmental ethics.

This book is essential reading for anyone interested in environmental studies, environmental policy and ethics, Japanese politics, and Japanese culture and society.

Midori Kagawa-Fox is a lecturer at the School of Social Sciences of the University of Adelaide, Australia.
