Description
The Challenge of Sustainable Forests is a masterful demonstration of how a sociology of sustainability must be anchored in a sociology of ecological science, knowledges, and discourses. It not only involves a creative synthesis between environmental social science and the sociology of science and knowledge, but in addition it includes impressive case material on forest policy in Sarawak and Pahang, Malaysia. . Professor Frederick H. Buttel, Department of Rural Sociology and Environmental Studies University of Wisconsin This important book recognises that the conservation and destruction of forests is above all 'a social question'. Dr Cooke's first book makes an effective contribution to the now burgeoning literature on the processes and effects of tropical deforestation in Malaysia, and more widely in Southeast Asia...the reader can see how the dynamics of power, patronage and policy confront local communities. . Professor V.T. King, Pro-Vice Chancellor, University of Hull The Challenge of Sustainable Forests is an innovative piece of work that provides a range of insights into forest resource use in Malaysia and the power relations behind the working of forest
