The book is written in the backdrop of the environmental impacts of
and future requirements from the natural environment for rapid
economic growth that has characterized recent economic history of
China and India, especially over the past few decades. The
environmental impacts of such rapid economic changes have been,
more frequently than otherwise, degrading in character.
Environmental impacts of economic activities create degraded
natural ecosystems by over utilization of nature's provisioning
ecosystem services (from Himalaya to the Ocean), as well, by the
use of the natural environment as sink for dumping of unmarketable
products or unused inputs of economic activities. Such processes
affect wide range of ecosystem processes on which the natural
environment including human population depend on. Critical
perspectives cast by various chapters in this book draw attention
to the various ways in which space and power interact to produce
diverse geographies of sustainability in a globalizing world. They
also address the questions such as who decides what kind of a
spatial arrangement of political power is needed for sustaining the
environment. Who stands to gain (or lose) what, when, where, and
why from certain geographical areas being demarcated as
ecologically unique, fragile and vulnerable environments? Whose
needs and values are being catered to by a given ecosystem service?
What is the scope for critical inquiry into the ways in which the
environment is imagined, represented and resisted in both
geopolitical struggles and everyday life? The book provides
insights to both academics from diverse disciplines and policy
makers, civil society actors interested in mutual exchange of
knowledge between China and India.
