The Study Of Transboundary Haze In Southeast Asia And Its Governance

After the 1970 s,the economy of Southeast Asia has been developing rapidly,and countries began to develop large-scale planting and manufacturing of economic crops such as palm and rubber.In the case of widespread sea-land connection in Southeast Asia,haze from the frequent occurrence of peatlands and forest fires can easily overflow borders,makes the transboundary haze occur almost every year.It made multiple countries affected seriously and influenced relations among them.Because the issue of transboundary haze involves multilateral interests,it is difficult to effectively manage it with one country’s power.Moreover,the political and economic levels of southeast Asian countries are different,and there is a lack of a perfect system for dealing with problems.As the regional organization that guides and coordinates internal issues in Southeast Asia,ASEAN has achieved something in politics,economy,culture and society since its establishment,and has played an important role in regional stability and harmony.ASEAN has become the leader to solve transboundary haze problem.In this paper,the urgency of the cooperation on haze management is derived by analyzing the situation of the outbreak of the Southeast Asia transboundary haze,the causes and the changes in the response of the ASEAN countries.Afterwards,the efforts,mechanisms,and cooperation contents of haze control in Southeast Asia is sorted out so as to facilitate the systematic understanding of the management mechanism of transboundary haze control.Finally,it analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the existing mechanism and provide reference individual suggestions for Chinese enivorment management and participate in the cooperation with ASEAN.This paper argues that the development of transbondary haze has become a historical issue among ASEAN countries.Although it produces economic,political,natural environment,social and cultural reasons,the root cause of haze is caused by fire,and the pollution gradually decreases from the south to the north.This trend has made ASEAN countries have different attitudes towards the haze problem and played a role in the changes in diplomatic relations.In order to completely solve the problem of haze,ASEAN countries have started to reform itself and to conduct foreign cooperation projects.Many mechanisms have been built in areas such as the administrative adjustment,financial support,education and training,and technological innovation.These governance mechanisms to a certain extent promoted the resolution of the issue of transboundary haze,deepened mutual political trust between ASEAN countries,and for the early realization of Political-Security,Economic and Social-Cultural Communities.At the same time,the poor governance mechanism of haze has resulted in the lack of reform impetus,slow progress in the process,the lack of efficiency in the process of cooperation.Therefore,the governance of transbondary haze in southeast Asia is optimistic in future,but it would be take much time to solve completely.
