<P class=MsoNormal>In this far-reaching examination of environmental problems
and politics in northern Thailand, Tim Forsyth and Andrew Walker analyze
deforestation, water supply, soil erosion, use of agrochemicals, and
biodiversity in order to challenge popularly held notions of environmental
crisis. They argue that such crises have been used to support political
objectives of state expansion and control in the uplands. They have also been
used to justify the alternative directions advocated by an array of
NGOs.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Part of the series Culture, Place, and Nature, this book
makes valuable contributions to Thai studies and more generally to the fields of
environmental science, ecology, geography, anthropology, and political science,
as well as to policy making and resource management in the developing
world.<o:p></o:p></P>
