‘Natural resource management for sustainable growth’ is the second publication under the ASEAN-Canada Research Partnership project. It builds on the Partnership’s first phase, which discussed economic inequality amid growth. Chapters in this volume highlight how unsustainable natural resource management has been a significant factor in growing economic inequality in Southeast Asia. The book’s chapters have four themes — extractive resources, forestry, water and fisheries — and engage with varying methodologies, thus bringing unique perspectives to the existing literature on natural resource management in Southeast Asia.
