Description / Table of Contents: By drawing on examples from throughout the Third World, Bryant and Bailey explain the development and characteristics of environmental problems that plague parts of Asia, Africa and Latin America and their political and economic bases.An effective response to contemporary environmental problems demands an approach that integrates political, economic and ecological issues. This volume provides an introduction to the political economy of environmental change in the Third World. The authors review the historical development of the field, explain what is distinctive about Third World political ecology, and suggest areas for future development. Clarifying the politicized condition of environmental change today, the authors explore the role of various actors - states, multilateral institutions, businesses, environmental non-governmental organizations, poverty-stricken farmers, shifting cultivators and other "grassroots" actors - in the development of the Third World's politicized environment. This study aims to explain the development and characteristics of environmental problems that plague parts of Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Explaining State-Environmental NGO Relations in the Philippines and Indonesia (2001)

Notes: This paper explains how the notion of “critical engagement” has been a popular basis for NGO-state relations in the Philippines and Indonesia. It has been used, moreover, in both liberal democratic (post-1985 Philippines) and authoritarian (late 1960s to late 1990s Indonesia) political regimes. For both states and reform-minded NGOs, critical engagement has represented a flexible means by which to pursue assorted political, economic and social ends. In a context of regional political and economic upheaval, it is likely to remain popular with both states and many NGOs for the foreseeable future.

Shifting the Cultivator: The Politics of Teak Regeneration in Colonial Burma (1994)

Notes: One of the most innovative aspects of forest policy in colonial Burma was the employment of shifting cultivators in order to create teak plantations. As developed in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this system of plantation forestry represented an far-sighted attempt to establish teak production on a long-term basis. Indeed, its adaptation of what many colonial officials viewed as a destructive and primitive form of agriculture to more ‘useful’ end, guaranteed its popularity in a broader imperial context. Even today, the use of shifting cultivators for commercial tree planting remains an acknowledged agroforestry technique, and is promoted as a cure for various social and ecological problems.

Power, knowledge and political ecology in the third world: a review (1998)

Description: Political ecology examines the political dynamics surrounding material and discursive struggles over the environment in the third world. The role of unequal power relations in constituting a politicized environment is a central theme. Particular attention is given to the ways in which conflict over access to environmental resources is linked to systems of political and economic control first elaborated during the colonial era. Studies emphasize the increased marginality and vulnerability of the poor as an outcome of such conflict. The impact of perceptions and discourses on the specification of environmental problems and interventions is also explored leading on to debates about the relative merits of indigenous and western scientific knowledge. Future research needs also to address issues linked to changing air and water quality, urban processes, organizational attributes and the human body.
