FOREST GUARDIANS

The Politics of Environmental Knowledge in Northern Thailand

Tim Forsyth and Andrew Walker

Foreword by K. Sivaramakrishnan

(University of Washington Press, 2008, $25 paperback)

 

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.

 

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.
