Conservation and development share an intertwined history dating
back to at least the 1700s. But what are the prospects for
reconciling the two, and how far have we come with this project?
This book explores these questions through a detailed consideration
of the past, present and future of the relationship between
conservation and development. Bringing to bear conceptual resources
from political ecology, social-ecological systems thinking and
science and technology studies, Conservation and Development sets
this relationship against the background of the political and
economic processes implicated in environmental degradation and
poverty alike. Whilst recognising that the need for reconciling
conservation and development processes remains as compelling as
ever, it demonstrates why trade-offs are more frequently
encountered in practice than synergies. It also flags alternative
visions for conservation and development obscured or ignored by
current framings and priorities. Bringing together policy and
theory, Conservation and Development is an essential resource for
undergraduate and postgraduate students and a useful reference for
researchers in related fields. Each chapter contains a reading
guide with discussion questions. The text is enlivened by a number
of new case studies from around the world. A must-read for anyone
interested in understanding the history, current state, and
projections for future shifts in the relationship between
conservation and development.
