Book Description
In light of the power strategies in play in the new geopolitics of economic and ecological globalization, there is need for critical analysis of how the agenda of sustainable development is being conceived, shaped, and implemented.

Her work focuses on borders planning, including tribal liaison and binational and interregional planning with neighboring jurisdictions. Nora L.
