This book proposes an original critical theory of environmental sociology which is verified through actual projects relating to infrastructure development . The author locates the development project in its social, institutional and historical contexts, and explains the outcomes as the consequences of the action of various individuals and groups each acting actually to optimise theri own interests. Six infrastructure development projects are covered ranging from eco-tourism and amusement parks to power and mining projects, abatement of industrial pollution, and urban transportation. Interaction between project affected persons (PAPs), the promotors of each project and government agencies are analysed at different stage of the projects. This book is an important contribution to assessing theh socio cultural and environmental impacts of the development projects. ISBN 0761933573
