The International Cooperation Of Environmental Crisis Management In Northeast Asia

With the global's fast development of industrializing and economic, environmental crisis becomes a generally concerned issue in the international society, to enhance the international environmental cooperation also have been the urgent demand in the world. Because of the special geography situation, the overfull exploitation of nature and unreasonable use of energy which are for the fast development of economic in Northeast Asia, the environmental crisis in this area are more and more serious, such as acid-rain, marine pollution, storms of sand-dust, water pollution and so on. These pollutions result in serious harm for the people's life and working. The feature of trans-boundary,fluidness and non-division decide that we can't solve it by only one of the countries, it is inevitable to solve it by international cooperation.20 century 90s was the flourishing period for the environmental protection, the Rio UNCED in 1992 was the climax. By then, Northeast Asia also steps in active international cooperation stage. After decade's years' efforts, we have got many efficacies in the bilateral and multilateral cooperation. But the environmental cooperation of the Northeast Asia still been the junior stage, we also face great difficulties in the cooperate process.In this article, after introducing the international cooperation theory of neo-realism, neo-institutional liberalism and social constructivism, as well as explaining the difficulties of international environmental cooperation, then I analyze the obstacles of environmental cooperation in Northeast Asia, like the lack of centralized system, the blocked information communicating, the complexity of the region security situation, nonexistent of leading country, the weakness of region identity and so on. Thus, raise the relevant strategies. First, from the analysis of the present situation, it is to early for us to establish a "Northeast Asia Environmental Community" which is a hard uniform system, like some scholar said. But the successful practice of APEC provides us another way of thinking; it is more feasible for us to set up a non-binding, soft institution in Northeast Asia. Second, China,Japan,Korea ware formerly be expected the leader of the cooperation, but for the complexity of the state's political and economic interest, it seems impossible for any one of them shoulder the role of leader. Though, to cooperate and lead the environmental cooperation under the 10+3 frame are easier for them. Third, to strengthen the region identity and coherence are also effective ways for speeding environmental cooperation. In addition, the cooperation of environmental NGOs can enhance the public education and information communication. At last, in order to solve the environmental emergencies that are appeared frequent in this area, it is necessary to build emergency reaction institutions.The international cooperation of the Northeast Asia is the essential way to solve the region environmental crisis. It is not only have great significance to the environmental protection of the region, but also play an important role in deepening the mutual comprehension, and to have important meaning to enhance the peace and stability of Northeast Asia.
