About the book >.>.> According to one dominant paradigm in social science theory, the Imerdisciplinary Network on Environment and Society (IRNES) ought not to exist. It is the product of voluntary action among a large number of busy. young scholars, all with with pressing career priorities of their own. It organises scholarly meetings open to a wide range of new researchers, many of whom have to scour their own institutions for some support in order that they can attend. The constituencies that it serves are heterogeneous, coming from many disciplines and from diverse national backgrounds. The barriers to successful organisation are thus formidable. Of course, this is not the whole story. The UK's Economic and Social Research Council has been far-sighted enough to provide some resources (congratulations to that all to0 often maligned institution), and the publications that IRNES has sponsored provide a wider readership for their work than research students often secure. Even so, rational choice theory tells us that voluntary action to provide public goo.
