This book considers the concept of 'value' at the root of our
actions and decision-making. Value is an ever-present, yet little
interrogated aspect of everyday life. This book explores value as
it is theorised, practiced and critiqued from a variety of
disciplinary perspectives. It examines how value is
operationalized, endorsed and contested in contemporary society.
With international insights from leading scholars, chapters offer a
diverse and vibrant geographical engagement with value to showcase
its conceptual flexibility. The book explores value's eclectic
epistemic foundations; it's 'roll-out' and legitimation across a
range of policy fields; and its challenges and opportunities. The
book draws on global examples of value in practice: from forest
conservation in Indonesia; protected area management in arctic
Norway; a state park in the US; certification schemes for
biodiversity in the UK; protection of the international night sky;
heritage planning in East Taiwan; a re-developed airport site in
Norway; a, local food networks in Canada and the UK; a market in
the US and urban development in China. The book will be of interest
to human geographers, political ecologists, heritage scholars and
practitioners, planners and those working in public policy, as well
as practitioners and policy makers interested in how valuation
processes work.
