Democracy in the Woods

Environmental Conservation and Social Justice in India, Tanzania, and Mexico

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Democracy in the Woods examines the trajectories of forest and land rights in India, Tanzania, and Mexico to explain how societies negotiate the tensions between environmental protection and social justice. It shows that the social consequences of environmental protection depend, almost entirely, on political intermediation of competing claims to environmental resources.
