Ethnoeconomics in the Climate-Biodiversity Era (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This book examines sustainability from an ethnoeconomics perspective, offering an equitable and durable pathway for economic development in the climate–biodiversity era. By recognising the rationalities, ecological knowledge, and institutional practices embedded within indigenous and local communities, it presents economic models built around sustainable practice, land stewardship, biodiversity, reciprocity, and social resilience rather than growth and extraction alone. In contrast to conventional approaches to development economics, ethnoeconomics defines economic activity as a culturally mediated relationship between human communities and their environments.

The book highlights the importance of culturally diverse knowledge traditions for global institutions, ecological renewal, and the future of the world economy. It will be of interest to students, researchers, and policymakers concerned with environmental economics, development studies, sustainability transitions, economic anthropology, biodiversity governance, and the role of indigenous and local knowledge in shaping more resilient and equitable forms of development.
