Rezension

The collection will appeal to scholars of environmental studies, Latin American studies, and environmental governance. In particular, many of the chapters here will serve as apt tools in the classroom to introduce political ecology to undergraduates." - Rocio Gomez, Virginia Commonwealth University, Environmental History 26

"Bringing together experts from a range of disciplines under a shared analytical umbrella of political ecology, this collection of case studies fractures the narrative of Costa Rican environmental exceptionalism, while also providing important lessons on environmental policy, governance, and sustainability that can be applied elsewhere." - Keri Brondo, author of Land Grab: Green Neoliberalism, Gender, and Garifuna Resistance
