| Research Abstract |
Over the last two centuries the world economy became heavily dependent for its energy on fossil fuels. While the energy intensity of developed countries improved after around 1970, the trend of deforestation and environmental degradation in tropical developing countries continued, and roughly a third of world population remain dependent for their livelihood on traditional biomass energy. This research attempted to trace the history of the emergence of this dual structure, through literature survey and empirical research on Japan, South and Southeast Asia and the world.
