Published in 1995, the essays in this book are papers presented to
the second conference of the Interdisciplinary Research Network on
the Environment and Society (IRNES) held in Sheffield in September
1993. It follows "Perspectives on the Environment" (ed. Holder et
al, 1993, Avebury) to continue the dissemination of the work of
IRNES members to a wider audience. Part I explores the social
dimensions of environmental technology in the form of an
examination of the construction of global climate models, a
critical analysis of the discourses associated with agricultural
biotechnologies and the environmental implications of building
technologies. Part II explores national and international politics
of the environment in Britain, the Ukraine and Burma, Thailand and
Indonesia. Part III deals with planning for sustainability in Japan
and Britain. Part IV examines theories of democracy and the state
both nationally and in the form of the European Union's principle
of subsidiary.

The book comprises thirteen papers on environmental issues, with
particular reference to future developments (for example, new
technologies, paths in social and political theory, methodologies).
It is divided into three sections, moving from social constructions
of 'the environment' in the first section to questions of green
political theory and practice in the second, and concluding with
issues of environmental risk and future technologies. The work is
interdisciplinary, with contributors ranging from philosophers to
human geographers.
