Consisting of 12 chapters, the book presents the rise and
development of environmentalism, environmental history as a
discipline, and the history of environmental movements in the
Central and South Eastern European region from an international
point of view. The chapters-written by scholars from Italy,
Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Slovakia, Romania, Serbia, Greece and
Turkey-cover a wide range of topics including the creation of
protected areas, increasing environmental consciousness, the
evolution of humanity's relationship toward the environment, and
perceptions of environmentalism by different disciplines. This
international approach highlights the region's complex development
from the end of the eighteenth century through the twentieth
century, with its unique blend of traditions. Three historically
different traditions-the Habsburg, Ottoman and Venetian-converge in
Central and South Eastern Europe, and this book emphasizes the
subtleties of these sometimes intertwined traditions. The focus of
the book varies according to both the different geographical
environments characteristic of the region and the protagonists who
actively participated in changing relationships toward the
environment. However, what does not vary and is common to all the
chapters is the historical approach, since the process has
continuity, which the book accentuates. In geographical terms, the
region that is the focus of the book, Central and South Eastern
Europe, is the contact zone of the Alps, Danube, Adriatic and
partially the North Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Throughout history,
it was also the contact zone of the Habsburg, Ottoman and Venetian
traditions. Those realities have resulted in a unique blending and
intertwining of traditions and, therefore, relationships with and
perceptions of the environment.
