Major advances have been made recently in environmental social
science but the context and importance of this research has also
changed. Social and natural science studies of the environment have
begun to interact more closely with each other and many analysts
now agree that an understanding of environmental problems often
depends on an understanding of the attitudes and behaviour of
people and organisations. Moreover, policy and public debates have
also shown that many assumptions that underpin arguments about
sustainable development need to be reconsidered and re-framed. This
book by leading researchers presents a critical review of debates
in environmental social science over the past decade. Three broad
areas are covered in ten chapters: the problems of scientific
uncertainty and its role in shaping environmental policy and
decisions; the development of institutional frameworks for
governing natural resources; and the link between economic and
technological change and the environment. The book begins with an
overview essay examining how perspectives across environmental
social science have shifted over the past decade and looking
forward to the emergence of new research agendas. The book is
essential reading for all students and scholars interested in
social sciences and the environment.
