Green Japan: Environmental Technologies, Innovation Policy, and the Pursuit of Green Growth

"Green Japan provides a compelling analysis of Japan’s efforts to balance economic development and the environment. An indispensable reference for anyone interested in political economy and environmental policy in Japan."

Kimie Hara, professor and the Renison Research Professor in East Asian Studies, University of Waterloo

"In this book Carin Holroyd successfully illustrates that there is a particular Japanese model of pursuing ‘`Green Growth’ and linking environmental sustainability to national prosperity. The study shows that Japan’s support for clean energy projects is substantial and that there is great potential to export its expertise in renewable energy technologies, such as low-emitting geothermal, solar, and hydrogen power, to emerging economies."
