Institutions

Written by leading scientists in the field, Institutions, Ecosystems, and Sustainability focuses on long-term, sustainable natural resource management practices at the often conflicting local, national, and international levels. The challenge is to match ecosystems and governance systems in ways that maximize the compatibility of these systems. The book covers the use of simulation exercises to explore the consequences of social institutions. It takes a landscape/scale approach to ecological economics and explores Natural Resource Management practices - past, present, and future.
