Co-management in protected areas: An opportunity for all?

Papers in this book address policy-relevant problems about the relationship between economy, society, and the environment. They are organized into four major themes: 1) I. Managing the Environment includes papers on the environmental implications of production processes, and strategies for managing the environment and natural resources; 2) Environment and Society addresses the nexus of environmental management, development, and justice, and covers issues about resource distribution, well-being and education; 3) Policy and Governance provides a forum on environmental policy instruments, environmental governance, and the political economy of the environment, and 4) Practitioners’ Perspectives offers policy-relevant insights from experienced practitioners. The proceedings present cutting-edge research into these topics and synthesize latest research findings that are useful for dealing with pressing environmental problems in Australia and New Zealand, as well as in the wider region.
