Book synopsis

This book takes on human-nature interconnectedness §and the interplay between global capitalism, natural §resource use and development in the South, §exemplified by transdisciplinary field studies of §coastal aquaculture in Sri Lanka and the §Philippines. §§Experiences among local farmers and aquaculture §dependence on a variety of local and global human §and environmental resources and processes are §studied in the light of world- and general systems §theories and emergy. The study shows that local §benefits and environmental impacts from aquaculture §are dependent and embedded in processes at a §multiplicity of scales; ranging from the local to §the global. §§The book also exemplifies and visualises the §organisation and effects of global capitalism for §the environment and people in the South. §Furthermore, it aims to make a contribution to §transdisciplinary theory and sustainability §assessment; something that will be crucial in the §transition into a fairer and more sustainable world.
