At the time they were all engaged in research projects funded by the German Re­ search Council (DFG) within its Priority Programme \"Global Environmental Change - Social and Behavioural Dimensions\". Coming initially from the fields of political science and sociology they were motivated by a common interest in advancing knowledge on processes of institutional change relevant to major environmental problems. By exploring the capacity of diverse disci­ plinary approaches to explain institutional change and by exchanging knowl­ edge on environmental institutions in various social, cultural and political settings they aimed to shed fresh light on the complex dynamics of institu­ tions. By 1999 the task force had grown in numbers and scope to include geographers, cultural anthropologists and cultural psychologists, reflecting a unique and broad spectrum of social science research into institutions and the environment. The new members brought not only new disciplinary perspec­ tives to the group, but also an interest in a wider range of institutions func­ tioning at different societal levels and in new cultural settings, including de­ veloping countries. This book is the principal product of the task force.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2003-08-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783810038586\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-322-80936-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 368\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44340603879564,"sku":"9783810038586","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783810038586.jpg?v=1770819687","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783810038586","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
