Many people investigating the operation of large-scale
environmentalist organizations see signs of power, knowledge and
governance in their policies and projects. This collection
indicates that such an analysis appears to be justified from one
perspective, but not from another. The chapters in this collection
show that the critics, concerned with the power of these
organizations to impose their policies in different parts of the
world, appear justified when we look at environmentalist visions
and at organizational policies and programs. However, they are much
less justified when we look at the practical operation of such
organizations and their ability to generate and carry out projects
intended to reshape the world.

Paige West is Tow Associate Professor of Anthropology at
Barnard College and Columbia University. She had conducted research
on the linkages between environmental conservation and
