前言许多关于环境政治的文献都讨论了东亚区域环境合作的可能性和局限性。本区域各国日益认识到在环境问题上开展区域和国际合作的必要性，并着手建立各种组织、行动计划、协议、会谈和合作网络。它们包括亚太经济合作组织（APEC）论坛的区域环境合作小组，双边或多边谈判，如由中国，日本和韩国组成的三方环境部长会议（TEMM），政府间机制，如东亚酸沉降监测网络（EANET），以及非政府组织和民间网络，如北亚太环境伙伴关系。然而，尽管作出了这些努力，学者们的共识是，总体而言，东亚区域环境合作的讨论多于行动，制度化程度和成效都低于最初的期望。虽然有一些严重的环境问题需要一定程度的区域合作，如酸雨、海洋资源保护和沙尘，但各国普遍未能部署和实施具体的行动计划来解决这些问题。虽然有关东亚区域环境合作的文献提出了这种薄弱合作的各种可能原因，如主要参与者的异质性、历史遗产、科学证据不足甚至文化，但它们大多数都是
Introduction Much of the literature on environmental politics has discussed the the possibilities for and limitations of regional environmental cooperation in East Asia. States in this region have increasingly recognized the need for regional as well as international co-operation on environmental matters and have set out to create a variety of organizations, action plans, agreements, talks, and networks for co-operation.1 The efforts made by different actors at different levels in the region are many. They include the regional environmental co-operation subgroup of the Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) forum, bilateral or multilateral talks, such as the Tripartite Environmental Ministers Meeting made up of China, Japan, and South Korea (TEMM) , intergovernmental mechanisms like Acid Deposition Monitoring Network in East Asia (EANET), and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and civil networks such as the North Asia-Pacific Environmental Partnership (NAPEP) . In spite of these efforts, however, there is a consensus among scholars that, overall, regional environmental cooperation in East Asia has been more discussed than acted on, and less institutionalized and less productive than was originally hoped. Although there are serious environmental problems that require a certain level of regional co-operation, such as acid rain, marine resource protection and yellow dust, states in general have to this point failed to deploy and implement concrete action plans to tackle these problems. While literature on East Asian regional environmental co-operation has proposed various possible reasons for this weak co-operation, such as heterogeneity of the key actors, historical legacies, insufficient scientific evidence and even culture, they have mostly
