Produktbeschreibung
This philosophical discussion is followed by a critical evaluation of case study methods and looks at case studies from Australia, North America and Norway. Finally Rethinking Resource Management investigates methodological issues of social impact assessment, policy development, applied research and the relevance of geographical perspectives and ethics to professional practice. In advocating more just, equitable and sustainable professional practice, the book explores new ways of seeing and thinking, as a foundation for new practices. Rethinking Resource Management is empirically informed, theoretically sophisticated and ethically engaged in a way which will force resource managers at any point in their career to reassess what they think resource management is, should be and could be about.
This book offers students and practitioners a sophisticated and convincing framework for rethinking the usual approaches to resource management. It uses case studies to argue that professional resource managers do not take responsibility for the social and environmental consequences of their decisions on the often vulnerable indigenous communities they affect. It also discusses the invisibility of indigenous people' values and knowledge within traditional resource management. It offers a new approach to social impact assessment methods which are more participatory and empowering. The book employs a range of case studies from Australia, North America and Norway.
