Abstract
Conflict over landscape use, resource access and environmental futures has
become a central feature of contemporary political life. Increasingly, these
conflicts are articulated, negotiated and potentially resolved across national
boundaries and complex networks of media and communications. Within the
context of intensifYing pressure for resources, market opportunities and changing
media practices, this article examines the multi-directional and multi-layered
flows of political communication and action that are developing within the Asian
region. It outlines a case of recent environmental protests targeted at Japanese
and Malaysian companies involved in the procurement and sale of Australian
forest products, and reveals how distant supporters are being enabled to join
with those affected locally to resist development, end resource procurement and
undermine growth strategies.
