State, Society and the Environment in South Asia

NORDIC INSTITUTE OF ASIAN STUDIES

Man & Nature in Asia

Series Editor: Arne Kalland

Senior Research Associate, Centre for Development and the Environment, University of Oslo

The implication that environmental degradation has only occurred in Asia as a product of Westernization ignores the fact that Asia, too, has degradation and disaster in its history. The principal aim of this series, then, is to encourage critical research into the humannature relationship in Asia. The series multidisciplinary approach invites studies in a number of topics: how people make a living from nature; their knowledge and perception of their natural environment and how this is reflected in their praxis; indigenous systems of resource management; environmental problems, movements and campaigns; and many more.

The series will be of particular interest to anthropologists, geographers, historians, political scientists and sociologists as well as to policy-makers and those interested in development and environmental issues in Asia.
