Synopsis

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. Annotation c.

Review:

`For those interested in land degradation, this book does provide some useful insights, as it is often as a result of poorly integrated land-management strategies that degradation can occur.' -- C. Sullivan, Land Degradation and Development
