Sustainable policies and strategies in Asia: Challenges for green growth

摘要

Due to the ever-increasing pressure of environmental crises stemming from natural disasters, it is worthwhile to analyze the new paradigm of sustainable challenges in the context of green growth policies and green IT strategies in the Northeast Asian region, based on performance-oriented governance. The primary aim of this special issue is to study and identify new conceptual characteristics associated with this revolutionary paradigm shift in the field of innovation in Asia. It is crucial to discuss the theoretical modeling underpinning these green growth and green IT strategy case studies. Diverse comparative studies on these policies and strategies would assist us in understanding the paradigm shift taking place in the area of performance-oriented green growth, an aspect important for the future of global economy and social change. As a workable mechanism, most papers emphasize the leading role of the government to facilitate the governance on the green growth. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
