Global Trade and Mediatised Environmental Protest

More about the book

The book delves into the complex interactions between geographically diverse groups as they navigate the pressures of resource demand and environmental risks, particularly climate change. It highlights the role of communication media in shaping negotiations that impact distant landscapes and communities. Through extensive fieldwork in the Australia-Asia region, it presents case studies on environmental protests linked to the international flow of resources like timber, fish, and water, examining how transnational 'communities of concern' are formed.
