A new way of measuring the health of a political system: by
examining the health of its landscapes and ecosystems East Germany,
its economy, and its society were in decline long before the
country's political collapse in the late 1980s. The clues were
there in the natural landscape, Arvid Nelson argues in this
groundbreaking book, but policy analysts were blind to them. Had
they noted the record of the leadership's values and goals manifest
in the landscape, they wouldn't have hailed East Germany as a
Marxist-Leninist success story. Nelson sets East German history
within the context of the landscape history of two centuries to
underscore how forest and ecosystem change offered a reliable
barometer to the health and stability of the political system that
governed them. Cold War Ecology records how East German leaders'
indifference to human rights and their disregard for the landscape
affected the rural economy, forests, and population. This lesson
from history suggests new ways of thinking about the health of
ecosystems and landscapes, Nelson shows, and he proposes assessing
the stability of modern political systems based on the
environment's system qualities rather than on political leaders'
goals and beliefs.
