The Political Ecology of the
Tropical Forests in Southeast Asia
by Ken-ichi Abe, Wil
de Jong & Tuck-po Ly
|
 |
Following an interdisciplinary approach to debates about
the future of tropical forests in Southeast Asia the authors - each
experts in their field - unravel the extent to which the interests of
local inhabitants, nation-states and international environmental
movements are intertwined. This volume examines the highly politicised
context in which local forestry problems intersect with global market
forces, focusing in particular on the social and economic diversity of
different tropical forests and their specific historical background, to
emphasize the importance of examining local issues in their own right.
