Al examinar cuidadosamente dos de esos procesos (la prohibición del comercio de shahtoosh y el ''Programa Nacional de Forestación'' en el estado indio de Jammu y Cachemira), el libro revela cómo estos procesos están influenciados por la política en diferentes niveles: desde su introducción en el nivel macro hasta a su implementación a nivel micro – y a su vez se vuelven influidos por las agendas e intereses de las diversas partes interesadas involucradas. A lo largo del libro, una prioridad es dar voz a los usuarios pobres de recursos que tradicionalmente han dependido de la vida silvestre y los recursos forestales para su mera subsistencia. Sin embargo, son estas mismas personas las que soportan la peor parte de los costos de la conservación de la naturaleza, y no los actores responsables de las violaciones más graves en busca de mayores ganancias. La sociología ambiental contemporánea se caracteriza principalmente por su enfoque en las relaciones de poder en la conservación y gestión de recursos. También en la literatura sobre "ecología política" –especialmente después de reconocer las paradojas y limitaciones de enfoques como el "desarrollo sostenible", los "medios de vida sostenibles" y la "gestión comunitaria de los recursos naturales"- existe una creciente preocupación por los análisis críticos de las cuestiones multinivel. política en relación con la conservación de la naturaleza. El propósito del libro no es desafiar la gravedad de las preocupaciones ambientales, sino cuestionar el predominio de los intereses conservacionistas sobre las necesidades de subsistencia de las comunidades locales y lograr un equilibrio entre la justicia ambiental y social. Sostiene que, a menos y hasta que se garantice una rendición de cuentas más justa para las poblaciones afectadas, es poco probable que las políticas de conservación cumplan los objetivos de la gestión sostenible de los recursos. Dado su compromiso crítico con los conflictos entre humanos y naturaleza en Jammu y Cachemira, el libro ofrece un recurso único para estudiantes y académicos de Sociología Ambiental, Ecología Política, Gestión de Recursos Naturales, Estudios de Conflictos y Estudios de Derechos Humanos.

Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : This book explores today's changing intellectual climate, wherein understanding politics at different levels from global to local is considered mandatory in order to appraise the outcome of nature conservation interventions. By carefully examining two such processes – the ban on shahtoosh trade and the 'National Afforestation Programme' in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, the book reveals how these processes are influenced by politics at different levels – from their introduction at the macro-level to their implementation at the micro-level – and in turn become coloured by the agendas and interests of the various stakeholders involved. Throughout the book, one priority is to give a voice to the poor resource-users who have been traditionally dependent on wildlife and forest resources for mere subsistence. Yet, these same people are who bear the brunt of nature conservation costs, rather than those actors who are responsible for the most serious violationsin pursuit of greater profits. Contemporary Environmental Sociology is chiefly characterised by its focus on power relations in resource conservation and management. In 'political ecology' literature, too – especially after recognising the paradoxes and limitations of approaches such as 'sustainable development', 'sustainable livelihoods' and 'community based natural resource management' – there is a growing concern for critical analyses of multi-level politics in connection with nature conservation. The purpose of the book is not to challenge the gravity of environmental concerns, but to question the dominance of conservation interests over the subsistence needs of local communities, and to strike a balance between environmental and social justice. It argues that, unless and until more just accountability for the affected populations is ensured, conservation policies are unlikely to meet the goals of sustainable resource management. Given its critical engagement with human-nature conflicts in Jammu and Kashmir, the book offers a unique resource for students and scholars of Environmental Sociology, Political Ecology, Natural Resources Management, Conflict Studies and Human Rights Studies.
