Environment and Development - A Companion to Environmental Geography - page 456

Greater critical attention is needed on sustainability indexes, in order to devise
measures that are methodologically and theoretically capable of linking micro- and
macro-analyses. Geographers in the environment and development tradition have
drawn attention to the workings of power in relation to these themes: how the
practices of conservation, livelihood and sustainable development each entail power
asymmetries that must be negotiated through a constant reconfi guration of the rela-
tions between civil society actors, state institutions and transnational actors at a
diversity of interconnected spatial scales. This ongoing negotiation of power in the
context of environment and development will no doubt continue to be a central
concern for geographers.
