Amid these divisions, the environment has become a key battleground. The condition and sustainability of environmental resources are interlinked with systems of governance and power, from local to EU levels. Key challenges in the eastern European region today include increasingly authoritarian forms of government that threaten the operations and very existence of civil society groups; the importation of locally-contested conservation and environmental programmes that were designed elsewhere; and a resurgence in cultural nationalism that prescribes and normalises exclusionary nation-building myths. This volume draws together essays by early-career academic researchers from across eastern Europe. Engaging with the critical tools of political ecology, its contributors provide a hitherto overlooked perspective on the current fate and reception of ?environmentalism? in the region. It asks how emergent forms of environmentalism have been received, how these movements and perspectives have redefined landscapes, and what the subtler effects of new regulatory regimes on communities and environment-dependent livelihoods have been. Arranged in three sections, with case studies from Czechia, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Serbia, this collection develops anthropological views on the processes and consequences of the politicisation of the environment. It is valuable reading for human geographers, social and cultural historians, political ecologists, social movement and government scholars, political scientists, and specialists on Europe and European Union politics. 606 $aEnvironmental Studies 606 $asociology 606 $aEnvironment 606 $aeconomic 606 $apolitic 606 $aEnvironmentalism 606 $aPolitical ecology 606 $aWest Europe 615 4$aEnvironmental Studies 615 4$asociology 615 4$aEnvironment 615 4$aeconomic 615 4$apolitic 615 4$aEnvironmentalism 615 4$aPolitical ecology 615 4$aWest Europe 700 $aBlumberg$b Renata$01356636 701 $aBrawner$b June$01356637 701 $a?erněk$b Mikulás$01356638 701 $aCo?ofan?$b Alexandra$01258079 701 $aDikovic$b Jovana$01356639 701 $aFehér$b Zsüli$01356640 701 $aHrckova$b Jana$01356641 701 $aIord?chescu$b George$01356642 701 $aKrasznai Kovács$b Eszter$01356643 701 $aLubarda$b Balsa$01356644 701 $aMihalovics$b Éva$01356645 701 $aNovák$b Arno?t$01356646 701 $aPataki$b György$0351936 701 $aPüsök$b Imola$01356647 701 $aKrasznai Kovacs$b Eszter$01356648 801 0$bFR-FrMaCLE 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910520203803321 996 $aPolitics and the Environment in Eastern Europe$93361310 997 $aUNINA
