East Asia is a region dominated by developmental states that favour business and constrain advocacy organizations, yet Japan has been leading the world in emissions standards for decades, China has recently become the world’s largest producer of photovoltaic panels and a world leader in renewable energy, and Korea and Taiwan have both embarked on major green initiatives that involve green business development, the creation of national parks, widespread energy conservation and comprehensive recycling efforts. This chapter discusses environmental organizations’ networking strategies to find allies within governmental and business echelons in order to affect pro-environmental changes. Focusing on the issue area of the environment, it argues that non-profit organizations play important roles in developing the coordinating networks that facilitate policymaking in challenging and diverse political contexts.

This chapter builds on long-term research at SLG, a pseudonym for a non-profit organization (NPO) in eastern Tokyo, established under the 1998 NPO Law. Incorporated as an NPO in 2000, SLG is one of the largest civic society organizations promoting lifelong learning in Japan. Over nearly two decades, SLG offered more than a hundred courses to the local community. However, SLG faced a crisis and risked dissolution in 2018 due to the municipal government’s decision to cut its funding. This chapter argues that SLG was a successful case of neoliberalism-oriented public administration, pursuing decentralization and reduced costs; at the same time SLG did not encourage independent, citizen-oriented activities. This chapter documents current discussions at SLG, reflecting the reality of a Japanese civil society landscape in which NPOs are central.
