Synopsis:

This book offers a timely analysis of some of the crucial challenges, contradictions and promises within current environmental discourses and practices within Latin America. Two interconnected analytical frameworks guide the discussions in the book: the relationship between nature, knowledge and identity, and their role in understanding recent and current practices of climate change and environmental policy. Using these frameworks, the chapters offer a multidirectional outlook that links the local, national, regional and transnational levels of inquiry across a diverse geographical spectrum.
