Hijacking Environmentalism
Hijacking Environmentalism
Clouding the Crisis
This chapter examines corporate environmental management from a constructivist perspective and explains the ways in which companies integrate and justify their environmental management practices. It begins with the premise that corporate environmental management techniques and tools are not neutral but a product of cultures and systems within and outside of firms. The chapter explores the emerging practice and methods of corporate environmental m…
Ecological modernisation and policy learning in Hong Kong
Environmental Reform, Technology Policy and Transboundary Pollution in Hong Kong
The focus of this contribution is the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) of China, and more particularly the processes of environmental reform in the region. The authors discuss developments in environmental policy over the past three decades and explore the utility of Ecological Modernization Theory as a basis for future environmental reform at the local level and as a mechanism for tackling broader regional environmental concerns. …
Fair trade as a strategy for international competitiveness
At the centre of the debate surrounding sustainable development is a recognition that companies can make a major contribution by being environmentally and socially responsible and that tools associated with these concepts can enhance the competitiveness and economic performance of the firm. In this paper we go further in arguing that in a world of globalisation it is equally important to look at issues of international trade. In an examination of…
Ecological modernisation as a weak form of sustainable development in Hong Kong
Hong Kong's response to the imperative of sustainable development has been ambivalent, confused, and lacking in urgency. The principles of sustainable development have been publicly endorsed at the highest political level in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HBAR). However, the SAR stills lacks a sustainable development strategy and has not officially adopted Agenda 21. Nor have any serious attempts been made to embed sustainable devel…

The Implementation of Environmental Management Systems andBS 7750
Argues that a company‐based environmental management system is no longer an option. Its stance is that much can be learned from the experiences of the development of total quality management and that central to any system has to be the notion of a continuous cycle of improvement. Lays out a possible organizational structure of an environmental management system and discusses the stages to the development of that structure and the important charac…
On the Attitudes to and Willingness to Pay for Artificial Insemination
Technological innovation has opened up the possibility of reproduction through non‐traditional methods. Once it was only possible to have children through direct sexual intercourse. Those seeking to bear children would therefore adhere to a traditional form of the family or would form a one‐off contract or liaison with some person who abdicates responsibly for the child after birth. The latter method could be used simply for the sake of having ch…
