Following an interdisciplinary approach to debates about the future of tropical forests in Southeast Asia, the authors - each experts in their field - unravel the extent to which the interests of local inhabitants, nation-states and international environmental movements are intertwined. The volume investigates the highly politicized context in which local forestry problems intersect with global market forces and emphasizes the importance of examining local issues in their own right.
