Project Title:Ecological modernization in Hong Kong?: an investigation of evolutionary pathways for environmental policy making
Investigator(s):Hills PR
Department:Urban Planning and Environmental Management, Centre of
Source(s) of Funding:Competitive Earmarked Research Grants (CERG)
Start Date:10/2002
Abstract:
The project will investigate the conditions under which environmental policy-making in Hong Kong might undergo a transition from a 'command and control' model based primarily on administrative rationalism to one of ecological modernization emphasizing improvements in environmental efficiency in the economy through collaborative and cooperative efforts among stakeholders. Specifically, it will analyze the principal objectives of environmental policy in Hong Kong, the mechanisms through which these are articulated, the extent to which environmental efficiency concerns are shaping policy initiatives, and the constraints that currently exist within the policy-making process inhibiting progress towards ecological modernization.


Project Title:Trade in environmental services as a mechanism of ecological modernisation in the Asia-Pacific region

Source(s) of Funding:Small Project Funding
Start Date:11/2003
Abstract:
To develop a conceptual framework and conduct empirical analysis of the role of the trade liberalisation in environmental services (as facilitated under the General Agreement on the Trade in Services - GATS) as a mechanism of ecological modernisation (EM); to formulate more general explanations of current transformations of environmental practices, discourses and institutions.

Investigator(s):Hills PR, Welford R.J.
Department:Urban Planning and Environmental Management, Centre of
Source(s) of Funding:Merit Award for RGC CERG Funded Projects
Start Date:12/2003
Abstract:
To identify the factors (i.e., impediments) which deter Hong Kong firms from moving beyond regulatory compliance. Research from elsewhere suggests that these factors may include costs, lack of information and awareness, inadequate human resources and a general lack of commitment to improved corporate governance. The specific causal factors at work in Hong Kong have yet to be established. We propose to identify and characterize these factors by an extensive series of interviews with representatives of key stakeholder groups : in the business community, government, consumer associations, environmental NGOs, labour groups, financial services and academia; to identify incentives that various stakeholder groups feel may assist in encouraging local firms to move beyond regulatory compliance; to evaluate those incentives in terms of their efficacy in the Hong Kong context by presenting them to the same firms previously interviewed to determine the extent to which they are likely to promote significant changes in corporate behaviour and responsiveness to environmental concerns; to consider whether there might be policy initiatives creating new partnerships between government and business, voluntary negotiated agreements and market-based mechanisms which together or separately would encourage businesses to become more proactive.

Abstract:
Social and public policy themes are important at the global, national, regional and local levels. To understand why specific issues enter onto the policy agenda, why some policies are implemented and not others, and the consequences of policies requires an understanding of the overall context within which policies are implemented and why responses to particular problems were chosen.
