This painstakingly researched volume focuses on the emblematic case of postsocialist Romania, in which the transition from collectivization to privatization profoundly reshaped the nation's forests, farmlands, and rivers. From bureaucrats abetting illegal deforestation to peasants opposing government agricultural policies, it reveals the social and political mechanisms by which neoliberalism was introduced into the Romanian landscape; 'This is clearly the best study on the environmental history of Romania published to date. It is a paragon of vivid, illustrative, and intimate local history combined with an international outlook'--Joachim Radkau, Universität Bielefeld; 'Meticulously researched and beautifully written, Disrupted Landscapes takes a broad view of the transformations taking place in rural Romania in the second part of the 2000s. It presents one of the most finely granulated pictures of the workings of power in rural settings'--Diana Mincyte, The City University of New York-New York City College of Technology"--From publisher's website.Environment in history ;Volume 8.Landscape changesRomaniaDeforestationRomaniaPeasantsSocial conditionsRomaniaLand useEnvironmental aspectsRomaniaLand usePolitical aspectsRomaniaSocial changeRomaniaPost-communismEnvironmental aspectsRomaniaNeoliberalismEnvironmental aspectsRomaniaEnvironmental policyRomaniaRomaniaRural conditionsagrarian landscape.agricultural land.agricultural policies.business economics.corrupt government.democracy.diplomacy.eastern europe.engaging.environmental economics.environmental policy.europe.european history.fall of the soviet union.farmers and farming.farms and farmers.history.illegal deforestation.national political economies.political economies.political mechanisms.political science.political.power and wealth.public policy.revolution.romania.romanian landscape.russian history.soviet union.Landscape changesDeforestationPeasantsSocial conditionsLand useEnvironmental aspectsLand usePolitical aspectsSocial changePost-communismEnvironmental aspectsNeoliberalismEnvironmental aspectsEnvironmental policy333.7309498MG 94915rvkDorondel Ștefan1968-1501550MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798135203321Disrupted landscapes3728718UNINA
