This volume edited by C.S.A (Kris) van Koppen, Wageningen University, The Netherlands and William T. Markham, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, US actually originated from a session of the ESA Environment
& Society research network. It offers a comparative analysis of
organizations and networks involved in nature protection in France,
Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, the UK and the
USA. It traces their development from their origins, more than a
century ago, to the present. Throughout this period, nature protection
has remained an enduring concern to civil society and continues to be a
major stream within environmentalism. However, strategies, public
support, and political success vary greatly among the countries
studied. Combining rich empirical evidence and theoretical analysis,
the book sheds light on the important challenges nature protection
faces today.
