Bioregionalism And Civil Society

"In Bioregionalism and Civil Society Mike Carr outlines an alternative to the economically, environmentally, and politically unsustainable movement of globalization. He argues for the potential of bioregionalism as a place-specific, social, cultural, and community economic movement within democratic civil society that can stand in opposition to the homogenizing trends of corporate globalization. He also explores the bioregional movement in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, examining its vision, values, strategies, and tools for building sustainable societies." "By integrating civil society theory with social and natural ecologies, Carr offers a practical approach to creating an economically, environmentally, and culturally sustainable world. Bioregionalism and Civil Society addresses and urgent need in industrialized societies for both theoretical and practical frameworks that promote new, sustainable methods of living."--Jacket.
