Environment, Society and Natural Resource Management
Author: Geoffrey LawrencePublisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Selected from the July 1999 eighth International Symposium on Society and Resource Management, held in Brisbane, 18 papers deal explicitly with the social dimension of natural resource management. They conclude that there is a paucity of material theorizing the nexus of environment, society, and natural resources, and suggest some new choices of theoretical frameworks for researchers in field studies. They consider the role of the social sciences in natural resource management, planning and impact assessment, sustaining resources, and institutions and regulation. c. Book News Inc.
