| Summary/Abstract |
Maintaining a liveable environment in Vietnam's polluted craft villages is a daily challenge for state authorities and residents. Neighbouring urban populations demand that the state effectively curtails and manages pollution, while local residents prioritise their livelihoods and routinely flout regulations. The commune official, tasked with the seemingly impossible task of environmental regulation, occupies a fraught position, torn between the imperatives and constraints of craft producers and state regulatory demands. This study of water pollution in northern Vietnam's craft villages finds that commune officials' conflicted role in environmental governance is a central factor in the failure of the current environmental governance regime, and reflects the internally conflicted nature of the Vietnamese state.

| Summary/Abstract |
Almost all the countries in South Asia are faced with serious environmental problems, which are nature-made and man-made. Such environmental problems include soil erosion, flood, drought, deforestation, fresh water scarcity, and emission of carbon dioxide in the air and natural disasters.

| Summary/Abstract |
Vietnam's rural provinces are home to thousands of craft villages; communities engaged in small- and medium-scale manufacturing of a range of goods, from recycled paper products to processed food. Since the liberalization of the Vietnamese economy in 1986, craft villages have played a significant role in poverty reduction and livelihood diversification for rural households, and currently employ nearly one-third of Vietnam's rural labor force. However, the rapid expansion of craft manufacturing, combined with a lack of planning, has brought increased air, soil, and water pollution to craft villages and surrounding areas. Pollution levels are now so serious that they pose a major risk to local health and agriculture. This article examines why producers continue to expose themselves to environmental pollution and its associated health risks. Drawing on four case studies of craft villages in the Red River Delta region of northern Vietnam, the authors find that risk is a multidimensional phenomenon. Craft production typically involves a value chain of closely connected family economic units and takes place against a backdrop of fierce competition for market share both within Vietnam and elsewhere in Asia. In this context, the current policy of managing the environmental risks of pollution through regulation requires producers to take risks in other domains of equal or greater importance to them; their livelihoods and social relations. Craft producers make explicit trade-offs between the risks of ill health and the security that family and community ties provide in the face of uncertain production space, markets, and livelihoods. These findings highlight the importance of thinking

| Summary/Abstract |
The article discusses the pollution of the oceans with increasing level of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the sea water. Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in about 1750, man's activities have loaded the atmosphere with great quantities of CO2. The effect of excess CO2 on marine life is that a more acidic ocean reduces the ability of organisms to extract calcium carbonate from the seawater.

| Summary/Abstract |
Shanghai is China's biggest city at a high development level that is beset by very complex environmental problems calling for an urgent solution in the run-up to the international Expo 2010 exhibition. Different assessments are made of the environmental situation in Shanghai. The greatest problems are caused by the condition of the atmosphere and water and the continuing accumulation of solid wastes. Pollution of the city's atmosphere with carbon dioxide is at record levels for China and beyond. Major challenges confront the city in water conservation and water supply for its population. And yet, Shanghai has all the assets to become the driving force of a rational environmental policy for the rest of China.

| Summary/Abstract |
This research note examines whether trade competition abets regulatory races in the environmental area. To analyze trade competition, we develop a new measure, structural equivalence, which assesses competitive threats that a country faces from other countries whose firms export the same products to the same destination countries. Employing this new measure, we analyze air pollution intensity (sulfur dioxide or SO2) and water pollution intensity (biochemical oxygen demand or BOD) for a panel of 140 countries for the time period 1980-2003. We find that trade competition is a significant predictor of water pollution intensity among structurally equivalent countries. We then test separately whether trade competition abets upward and downward regulatory races. We find that in the case of water pollution, countries respond symmetrically to downward and upward races, that is, they follow their structurally equivalent competitor countries both when they ratchet down their regulations and when they ratchet up regulations. In the case of air pollution, however, countries are responsive to downward policy changes only in competitor countries.
