The Politics and Economics of Park Management examines national
protected area systems, in both developed and developing countries,
that have made a transformation from 'fortress parks' to a
sustainable use model. The contributors park management, academics,
and members of nongovenmental organizations contend that successful
institutional change in protected area systems involves not only
the adoption of appropriate legal and regulatory regimes covering
sustainable use, but also the development of an informal culture of
sustainable resource use among all of a park's stakeholders. While
this latter requirement is often difficult to achieve, the
contributors show how these informal attitudes may evolve over
time, both within the management structure of a park agency and the
community of resource users. The case studies cited represent
examples of successful institutional change, demonstrating both
financial and conservation benefits to protected area agencies,
that should serve as model for managing parks today.
