Description: Using empirical material from a number of Asian countries, this book explores gender-environment relations within shifting configurations of resource access and control. The author argues that current doctrines of decentralization and community participation are inadequate without consideration of the gender dimension.
Notes: "Earthscan publishes in association with the International Institute for Environment and Development."

A collection of papers evolved from a panel on gender, environment, and natural resource management at the EU-Asia Link Project's International Conference on Gender, Globalization, and Public Policy at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) in Thailand in May 2004, with some chapters substantially revised versions of papers presented there and others contributed subsequent to the conference.
