Encircling the Seamless: India, Climate Change, and the Global Commons - Tapa dura

For anyone interested in environmental governance, this book is an invaluable asset. (Runa Sarkar, Decision)

The volume discusses global commons against the complex global political relations. It explores the nature of the global economic crisis, the search for finding a solution to the climate change problem, and efforts to conserve biodiversity in their centres of origin. The narratives from within India-the desert terrains of Rajasthan, the hills of Darjeeling, and the Western Ghats-reach across the borders to the world of industrial complexes in the North that produce and spew chemicals for disposal and re-use in the South , the soft belly of the globe.
