Armenia and Europe
«Armenia and Europe is unique in the anthropological literature of the post-Soviet region for its focus on multi-lateral environmental governance and for its close-up view of the workings of a bilateral technical assistance project focused on this issue. Skedsmo’s effective combination of concepts from postsocialist studies, postcolonial studies and anthropological theorizations of global governance illuminates the significance of transnational networks and networking for understanding environmental struggles in Armenia and the importance of European norms in them. The book is important reading for scholars and development practitioners concerned with how and why activists and officials engage with globally circulating environmental norms.»
Tanya Richardson, Associate Professor of Anthropology and Global Studies, Wilfrid Laurier University
