Community Resilience and Environmental Transitions

<p>This book discusses the resilience of communities in both developed and developing world contexts. It investigates the notion of ‘resilience’ and the challenges faced by local communities around the world to deal with disturbances (natural hazards or human-made) that may threaten their long-term survival. Using global examples, specific emphasis is placed on how learning processes, traditions, policies and politics affect the resilience of communities and what constraints and opportunities exist for communities to raise resilience levels.</p>

Social Sciences

In a refreshing new approach to what environmental management EM is and who it involves, Environmental management: new directions for the twenty-first century moves onwards from the traditional state-centred perspective and explores EM as a multi-layered process involving a wide range of actors. The book aims to contribute to a new understanding of the subject, which will interest all students of EM. This stimulating and provocative book will prove useful to all students taking courses in environmental management, in departments of geography, environmental sciences and in the increasingly environmentally aware parts of the social sciences in general.
