As more governments, companies and individuals scan the globe for
access to primary resources such as minerals and timber, food,
power and water, and destinations for work, holidays and homes,
pressures on places and communities grow. At the same time, global
environmental risks - most notably, climate change - produce new
networks and unfamiliar forms of politics. Communication media are
integral to this change. This book explores how geographically
diverse groups and individuals interact in and through media to
influence the negotiations and decisions affecting often distant
landscapes and communities. Drawing on extensive fieldwork in the
Australia-Asia region, the book includes case studies on the
environmental protests that follow the international flow of people
and resources, including timber, fish, coal, water and tourism. It
asks how 'communities of concern' are evoked, which transcend local
places and national boundaries.
