LAND CHANGE SCIENCE, POLITICAL ECOLOGY, AND SUSTAINABILITY

Recent claims regarding convergence and divergence between land change science and political ecology as approaches to the study of humanenvironment relationships and sustainability science are examined and analyzed in this innovative volume. Comprised of 11 commissioned chapters as well as introductory and concluding/synthesis chapters, it advances the two fields by proposing new conceptual and methodological approaches toward integrating land change science and political ecology.

The book also identifies areas of fundamental difference and disagreement between fields. These theoretical contributions will help a generation of young researchers refine their research approaches and will advance a debate among established scholars in geography, land-use studies, and sustainability science that has been developing since the early 2000s. At an empirical level, case studies focusing on sustainable development are included from Africa, Central and South America, and Southeast Asia. The specific topics addressed include tropical deforestation, swidden agriculture, mangrove forests, gender, and household issues.

Christian Brannstrom is Associate Professor in the Department of Geography at Texas A&M University, USA.

Jacqueline M. Vadjunec is Associate Professor in the Department of Geography at Oklahoma State University, USA.
