Roda Mushkat’s International Environmental Law and Asian Values is a timely exploration of the interface between Asian cultural values and international environmental law. The importance of understanding influences on the adoption and implementation of international environmental agreements pertaining to the Asian continent cannot be gainsaid. Asia is expected to increase its proportion of the world’s human population from 60% in 2003, to 78% in 2030. Perhaps more strikingly, the rate of urbanization in Asia over this period is expected to exceed that of all other regions worldwide. The potential environmental consequences of Asia’s changing demography have been explored elsewhere, as have the international agreements adopted and proposed to mitigate these consequences. With respect to the development of international environmental law in Asia, there has been a particular need to address the intersection between legal standards and cultural values because, as Mushkat recognizes, the concept of Asian values has long been exploited and misused in attempts to conceal or justify human rights abuses motivated by political and economic interests.
