The field of Environmental Management (EM) involves a broad and
evolving repertoire of practices. The field originated around 1970
in response to new policy, regulation and public concern about
environmental issues. EM has undergone many changes and
improvements since then, progressing from a reactive,
compliance-based focus toward, in leading cases, practices
reflecting strong commitment to sustainability. And yet, EM
remains, for the most part, ill-equipped to deal with the complex
and highly uncertain implications of the ecological crisis.
Environmental Management offers a rigorous critique of conventional
EM and explores alternative ideas, frameworks and approaches that
are currently considered "fringe", but which have the potential to
transform the practice of EM. This book goes beyond narrow
definitions and considers questions regarding the purpose, roles,
scope and potential of environmental management. EM is situated and
contextualized within the evolving and expanding realm of
environment and sustainability literature. The book argues that new
approaches to EM need to be more flexible, imaginative and better
equipped to address future environmental problems of a scale and
severity previously unforeseen. This book will be of great interest
to students and scholars of environmental management, environmental
planning, resource management, and environmental assessment.
