This volume examines the economic, political, social and
environmental challenges facing rural communities in the
Asia-Pacific region, as global issues intersect with local
contexts. Such challenges, from climatic change and volcanic
eruption to population growth and violent civil unrest, have
stimulated local resilience amongst communities and led to evolving
regional institutions and environment management practices,
changing social relationships and producing new forms of
stratification. Bringing together case studies from across mainland
Southeast Asia and the Island Pacific, an expert team of
international contributors reveal how communities at the periphery
take charge of their lives, champion the virtues of their own local
systems of production and consumption, and engage in the
complexities of new structures of development that demand a
response to the vacillations of global politics, economy and
society. Inherent in this is the recognition that 'development' as
we have come to know it is far from over. Each chapter emphasizes
the growing recognition that ecological and environmental issues
are key to any understanding and analysis of structures of
sustainable development. Providing diverse multidisciplinary
theoretical and empirical perspectives, Environment, Development
and Change in Rural Asia-Pacific makes an important contribution to
the revitalization of development studies and as such will be
essential reading for scholars in the field, as well as those with
an interest in Asia-Pacific studies, economic geography and
political economy.
