Summary:

"This timely book provides a much-needed multidisciplinary exploration of sustainable natural resource management, drawing on analytical concepts and tools from areas such as economics, anthropology and social psychology. Identifying recurring themes, concepts and perspectives across disciplines, the book highlights best practice and provides actionable advice on how sustainable resource management can be more fully realised. Chapters on the commons, political ecology and governance illustrate how they have been informed by political science, public administration and geography and those on economics and mathematical modelling set out concepts and assumptions that have guided their analyses. Reflections on contributions from international development, anthropology and social psychology illuminate the relevance of local context and value orientation on the management of renewable natural resources. Finally, chapters on ecology and sustainability science reflect the need for holistic, integrated approaches. Sustainable Natural Resource Management is an essential resource for scholars and students of ecology, environmental economics, sustainability science, anthropology, geography and international development. It is also beneficial for researchers in natural resource management looking to understand how other disciplines and fields of study can inform new research collaborations and projects"-- Provided by publisher.
