This book presents a comprehensive view of an important new field in human geography and interdisciplinary studies of nature-society relations. Tracing the development of political ecology from its origins in geography and ecological anthropology in the 1970s, to its current status as an established field, the book investigates how late twentieth-century developments in social and ecological theories are brought together to create a powerful framework for comprehending environmental problems.

Arusha National Park in northern Tanzania, known for its scenic beauty, is also a battleground. Roderick Neumann’s illuminating analysis shows how this park embodies all the political-ecological dilemmas facing protected areas throughout Africa. The roots of the ongoing struggle between the park on Mount Meru and the neighboring Meru peasant communities go much deeper, in Neumann’s view, than the issues of poverty, population growth, and ignorance usually cited. These conflicts reflect differences that go back to the beginning of colonial rule. By imposing a European ideal of prist

Weisst Du, was Dich glücklich macht? Die Triebfedern unseres Handelns sind Dinge, die wir müssen, und Dinge, die wir wollen. Das Wollen lässt sich durch die KNOW-WHY-Methode begründen. Wir wollen dazugehören, uns integrieren, und wir wollen uns weiterentwickeln. Wenn wir beides empfinden, sind wir glücklich und erfolgreich, ganz oben auf der Welle - wenn eines von beidem länger fehlt, sind wir unglücklich, stürzen über die Welle oder fallen zurück ins Wellental. Manchmal wissen wir weder, dass wir glücklich sind, noch dass wir unglücklich sind. Der Mensch hat aber die einzigartig

Das Buch gibt in kleinen Kapiteln Anregungen zur Betrachtung aus KNOW-WHY-Sicht von Strategieentwicklung, Prozessoptimierung, Organisationsentwicklung, Risi
