About
This book analyzes the political, legal, and economic dynamics shaping environmental outcomes across two districts in Aceh, one of the richest and most expansive areas of tropical rainforest in Southeast Asia. Its central theme is that the present cycle of ecological decline can best be understood in terms of the way political, economic and social forces operate at the district level.
