The Rockefeller Foundation in Sardinia: Pesticide Politics in the Struggle Against Malaria

Learning from Environmental Justice: A New Model for International Environmental Rights  
Hari M. Osofsky 01/25/05

Environmental Values, Policy, and Conflict in India  
Shiv Visvanathan 12/10/02
Many think that Indian environmentalism arose in opposition to an anti-environmental government (as well as, at an earlier point, British colonial rule), leading to "a backward-thinking anti-ecological state and a pro-environmental civil society." In fact, what is really taking place is "a battle between two [strands] of environmental discourse," argues Shiv Visvanathan.

Understanding Environmental Values: A Cultural Theory Approach  
Michael Thompson 10/10/00
