In recent times, scholars have noted how social networks arise around issues of resource and ecological management. This book argues that stories, or narratives, play a key role in these networks - that environmental communities 'narrate themselves into existence'. The book proposes the notion of the narrative-network, and introduces innovative tools to analyse the plots, characters, and events that inform environmental action.American and Comparative Environmental PolicyEnvironmentalismEnvironmental policyPolicy sciencesSocial networksENVIRONMENT/GeneralSOCIAL SCIENCES/Political Science/GeneralEnvironmentalism.Environmental policy.Policy sciences.Social networks.333.72Lejano Raul P.1961-1480091Ingram MrillIngram Helen M.1937-OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910779985003321The power of narrative in environmental networks3696575UNINA
