Book Launch: Environmental Governance in Indonesia
Environmental Governance in Indonesia is an edited, open-access book recently published by Springer in February 2023. It offers an overview of the state-of-the-art of environmental governance in Indonesia, engages with bottom-up (national and local) perspectives, theory, and operationalization of theories/frameworks, and aims to engage multiple environmental governance actors (national to local) in different sectors. There are 25 chapters in this book, authored by more than 90 contributors representing the perspectives from science and practice. Six key topics were discussed in this book: emerging concepts such as the pluriverse, anthropocene, and earth system governance, but also thematic and empirical cases ranging from wetlands, land, and forest, urban, climate, social, and technological interventions. Each area presents its challenges (e.g., socio-political dynamics, fragmentation, exclusion) and opportunities (e.g., new hybrid governance strategies, governance, socio-technological interventions, capacity-building efforts, and law and regulations). This is the first edited book that attempts to compile diverse research and perspectives on environmental governance issues in Indonesia. Read More..
