One prominent challenge facing scientists, policymakers, environmental activists, and environmentally concerned citizens is to recognize human influence in the natural world is pervasive and has a long history, and to act accordingly-or to choose not to act. Western-style management of nature, mediated by economic rationality and state bureaucracies, may not be the best strategy to maintain environmental integrity. The question is what kinds of human influence, conceived of in the widest possible sense, will produce ideal environments for future generations? The related question is who gets to choose. The author approaches the problem of analyzing the mutual influence of human and natural systems from two perspectives: as an objective scholar investigating bureaucracies and natural systems from the outside, and over the last decade as an inside practitioner working in various roles in federal land management agencies developing policies and regulations involved in the control of natural systems. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of natural resource management, policy and politics, and professionals working in environmental management roles as well as policymakers involved in public policy and administration"--PPN: PPN: 1882641388Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-4-NLEBK | BSZ-4-NLEBK-KAUB
