Kei Otsuki is currently a Research Associate at United Nations University Institute for Sustainability and Peace and holds a PhD in Social Sciences from Wageningen University. She has published on sustainable development in international journals such as Environment and Planning, Human Organization, Natural Resources Forum, and Local Environment.
This book questions the assumption that Amazoniäs future rests exclusively in sustainability and environmental conservation. It is the first book to argue for an Amazonia strategy that emphasises societal dynamics in deforestation and sustainable development policy. Demystifying utopian views of the rainforest as a troubled paradise, the book explores potential processes by which ordinary settlers can themselves construct a sustainable society.
