| Samenvatting: | The book suggests that an adequate analysis of transfrontier conservation initiatives in
Africa would have to go beyond explaining specific cases and the circumstances surrounding
them if we are to achieve a comprehensive understanding of these initiatives. This is
imperative, not least because TFCAs provide the platform on which various interests are
pursued at, and between, various scales. The book challenges the emerging and common
view of TFCAs as a southern African phenomenon or, at worst, a South African experience.
Instead, it argues that TFCAs should be understood in the context of the intersections
between the environmental movement and the private sector, and the place and role of the
state – individually and collectively – in those intersections. It concludes that events and
processes that shaped TFCAs and their emergence in Africa are not perfectly discrete, but
are linked to the trajectories of environmentalism and associated practices in a changing
socio-political environment. |
