“…First, this book is primarily an examination of one-way policy flows from the UN to ASEAN because, in the case of TIP, policy development at the UN was ahead of ASEAN. However, as has been shown in some emergent issue areas such as climate change, ASEAN ideas have been contributing to the UN policy development (e.g., Qiao-Franco 2021a, 2022. The focus on one-way policy transfer efforts in this book does not deny the agency of ASEAN countries in actively shaping regional and international orders and policymaking.…”

“…The ineffectiveness of China-ASEAN cooperation on green infrastructure development can be explained not only in its inability to reconcile China's political and economic priorities under the BRI campaign but also in its inability to reorient ASEAN member states' energy policy, which is shaped by the region's rapid population growth and rapidly increasing energy demands, on the one hand, and rooted in economic policies that prioritize growth over environmental protection, on the other. For economic stimulation, ASEAN states generally prefer largescale energy development of proven technologies with low initial costs, which reflects the fact that most ASEAN states remain at the low-or middle-income status and lack the financial access needed for renewable energy development (Prakash 2018;Qiao-Franco 2021). In addition, ASEAN states' energy policy also reflects the vested interests of traditional energy sectors, which have been powerful in resisting policies that would require changes in their business practices (Sovacool 2010;Mori and Dong 2018).…”

This article examines the evolution of China-ASEAN environmental and energy cooperation since the 2010s with a focus on changes following the launch of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). It shows that over the past decade China and ASEAN have actively expanded cooperative frameworks and mechanisms in the domain of environmental protection as part of their comprehensive approach to sustainable development, particularly regarding energy projects. Nonetheless, the implementation record in their energy cooperation, that is, the lion's share of BRI projects in Southeast Asia, remains unsustainable and contradicts with their shared "green" policy discourse. The article examines factors from both sides of China and ASEAN that contribute to this disconnect and explains why China's own accomplishments in renewable energy development fail to spill over to Southeast Asia. These findings have implications for China's impact on global governance and its leadership role in the Global South.

“…As far as is known, the current study among the early attempt to explore the asymmetric impact of trade openness, energy use, population changes and urbanization, on the EF in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN-5) countries. This study aims to enrich the extant literature in the following manners: firstly, this investigation focuses on the ASEAN-5 countries in view of their contribution to global CO 2 emissions, remarkable growth, excessive reliance on fossil fuel consumption, natural resource deposits, swelling EF, lessening biocapacity, complexities in preserving environmental quality, technological advancements allied with globalization and the bloc's current commitments to environmental friendliness (see for example, Amheka et al, 2022;International Energy Agency, 2022;Qiao-Franco, 2021). Nearly 50% growth in energy demand has been ascertained in the ASEAN-5 countries since 2000.…”

PurposeIn the new global economy, environmental degradation is still among the crucial struggles braving policymakers. The intention of the current analysis, therefore, is to investigate the asymmetric impact of energy use, trade openness, population changes and urbanization, on the ecological footprint (EF) in four ASEAN countries by using time span data extending from 1972 to 2018.Design/methodology/approachThe stationarity of the variables was first demonstrated by using a quantile autoregression unit root test. Then the cointegration relationship among quantiles was verified. In the third step, this study investigated the pattern of causality in quantiles which allowed them to model any locational asymmetry in such a relationship. In the final part of the paper, the asymmetric quantile approaches the methods adopted to address the ways in which the considered variables impacted on the EF.FindingsThe outcomes demonstrated that the estimated coefficient of the variables was generally found significant and in line with the expected impact sign. Likewise, locational asymmetry was detected from the fact that the considered variables at the upper tails did not operate in the same way as those in the lower ones. In this case, the results suggest that a rise in energy consumption, as well as a negative shock to economic growth and/or trade openness, all diminish environmental quality. In contrast, promoting economic growth, a positive shock to trade openness, and human capital reduce environmental degradation.Originality/valueAs far as is known, the current study among the early attempt to explore the asymmetric impact of trade openness, energy use, population changes and urbanization, on the EF in the ASEAN countries.
