| 总结: | As the information revolution continues to accelerate, the environment
remains high on public and political agendas around the world. These two
topics are rarely connected, but information – its collection, processing,
accessibility and verification – is crucial in dealing with environmental challenges
such as climate change, unsustainable consumption, biodiversity conservation
and waste management. The information society (encompassing
entities such as the Internet, satellites, interactive television and surveillance
cameras) changes the conditions and resources that are involved in environmental
governance: old modes and concepts are increasingly being replaced
by new, informational ones. Arthur P. J. Mol explores how the information
revolution is changing the way we deal with environmental issues, to what
extent and where these transformations have (and have not) taken place, and
what the consequences are for democracy and power relations. This book
will appeal to scholars and students of environmental studies and politics,
political sociology, geography and communications studies. |
