New Directions in Environmental Participation

<p>Originally published in 1988 reissued now with a new series introduction <i>New Directions in Environmental Participation</i> was the third in a trilogy of books to open the series <i>Ethnoscapes: Current Challenges in the Environmental Social Sciences</i>. These three titles brought together specially commissioned contributions that cover much of the range of topics that the series as a whole would cover. Although the following volumes would not have the same format the opening trilogy gave an overview of what was to come while also providing a broad base for the future authors to build upon.</p><p>For this volume the editors chose to deal directly with current developments in environmental participation. This brings together contributions that range from studies of hands-on user participation to explorations on a much broader scale of the role we all play in shaping our environment. The role of communication education and research in the participation process is a motif that is apparent throughout the contributions.</p>
