Introduction: Interdisciplinarity, human ecology, the social and the environmental sciences
1.1 The development of human ecology and its spread worldwideInterdisciplinary subjects such as human ecology developed during the twentieth century, although forerunners of interdisciplinary thinking and knowledge integration can be found since early modernity. Human ecology, studying the relations between humans, their societies, and nature, is an example of knowledge practices, where social and natural scientific knowledge is integrated to fin…
Transformation of Industrial Energy Systems
This chapter shows that the development of new energy systems for future low-carbon economies is not only a technical question of new energy sources and conversion technologies. Energy technologies are in complicated ways combined to energy regimes, including the technical systems and infrastructures, the social and economic structures of energy regimes, and the ecological qualities of energy systems as part of ecological systems. Interdisciplina…
Interaction of Nature and Society in Ecology
This chapter offers material from ecology for an interdisciplinary social-ecological theory of nature and society. The bridging concepts and frameworks of social and ecological vulnerability, resilience, and sustainability gain importance in ecological research. Dynamics of coupled social and ecological systems and the flows of matter, energy, and information between social and ecological systems are analysed in biological and ecological theories…
Interaction of Society and Nature in Sociology
Focusing on theories of society, this chapter offers material for an interdisciplinary social-ecological theory of nature and society. The development of the sociological discourse and the limits of sociological reflections on nature and the environment are described. The themes discussed include theory-guided analyses of modes of production and reproduction of economy and society, economic globalisation, global resource flows, coupling of social…
Climate Change and Development of Coastal Areas in Social-Ecological Perspective
Coastal areas are preferred human habitats and landscapes, densely populated in nearly all countries, but vulnerable to climate change and sea level rise. Adaptation to climate change is discussed in this chapter with examples and studies from European coastal research in the perspectives of adaptive governance and sustainable management of coastal resources. Social-ecological integration of knowledge and strategies, based on analyses of vulnerab…
Introduction: Developing Social-Ecological Concepts and Theories
The complexity of global social and environmental change is insufficiently understood in specialised disciplinary research and environmental policies. An attempt to synthesise knowledge for improved understanding and a solution of global change problems is made with the social-ecological theory of nature and society. This introductory chapter outlines the epistemological problems of interdisciplinary knowledge synthesis for this theory. Sociologi…
Knowledge Transfer Through Adaptive Management and Environmental Governance
With adaptive management and global environmental governance, earlier principles of knowledge use in environmental research, policy, and resource management are abandoned. Both knowledge practices are based on ideas from environmental and ecological research and aim to improve the practices of natural resource management, conservation, or environmental policies. The principles no longer applied include that of research guided by single theories; …
Sustainability in Social-Ecological Perspective
Theoretically embedded analyses of global environmental governance and transformation to sustainability are insufficiently developed as the review of the sustainability debate in this chapter shows. The social-ecological theory of society and nature helps to broaden the horizons of sustainability analysis from disciplinary to interdisciplinary knowledge use and from policy- and governance-centred analyses to analyses of societal change. In the so…
Social-Ecological Systems and Ecosystem Services
The interdisciplinary terms of “social-ecological systems” (SES) and “ecosystem services” (ESS) developed from ecological research. A critical review of the use of the terms in ecological research shows that they are interpreted differently; the underlying assumptions on the nature of ecosystems and social systems are disputed; and their application is methodologically, theoretically, and epistemologically insufficiently clarified. To deal with t…
Conclusion: The Coming Crisis of Global Environmental Governance
In the scientific and political discourse of global change, doubts are growing about the possibility of transformation of modern society to sustainability. Not much time seems left to deal with problems caused by global social and environmental change. In this concluding chapter, it is discussed how the knowledge from social ecology and from analyses of the interaction of social and ecological systems can be used to improve the knowledge practice…
Social-Ecological Transformation: Reconnecting Society and Nature
This book advances a social-ecological theory to reconnect nature and society through sustainable transformation of interacting social and ecological systems. Social ecology develops as an interdiscip
Towards interdisciplinary rural research – theorizing nature-society relations
This article deals with the significance of interdisciplinary rural and environmental social research for the theorization of society and society-nature relations. For this purpose fields of knowledge adjacent to rural sociology are reviewed: environmental sociology, human and social ecology, ecological economics, social-ecological systems analysis, research on common pool resources and environmental conflicts. In discussing themes, concepts and …
Knowledge in Sustainable Rural Development: From Forms of Knowledge to Knowledge Processes
Lack of data or empirical information, insecurity about scientific knowledge, and disputes on how to manage knowledge emerge as central concerns when we study changes in rural development under the influence of sustainability discourses. In this synthesis we summarise and interpret results from the CORASON project for sustainable resource management, both within policy discourses and the local realities of rural development projects. We identify …

Local Fisheries Management at the Swedish Coast: Biological and Social Preconditions
Most of the Swedish coastal fisheries are not sustainable from either a social, economic or ecological point of view. We propose the introduction of local fisheries management (LFM) as a tool for restructuring the present large-scale management system in order to achieve sustainability. To implement LFM two questions need to be answered: How to distribute the resource fish among different resource user groups? How to restructure present fisheries…
Interdisciplinary Conflict Analysis and Conflict Mitigation in Local Resource Management
Within the Swedish research program SUCOZOMA (Sustainable Coastal Zone Management) several conflict studies have been carried out. Whereas the detailed results of these studies are published separately, this paper reviews important results from conflict research in combination with a summarizing and generalizing discussion of approaches and main results of SUCOZOMA's resource and conflicts studies. After an analysis of interdisciplinary and theor…
Fishermen's Interests and Cooperation: Preconditions for Joint Management of Swedish Coastal Fisheries
The participation of fishermen in fisheries management is discussed with varying ideas under the notions of "co-management", "participatory management" or "local management". Empirical studies within Swedish fishery have thrown new light on the preconditions for fishermen's participation in fisheries management. Among the important factors influencing failure or success are the two which we discuss here: the question of articulation, organization…

Leader in Germany and the Discourse of Autonomous Regional Development
The leader programme in Germany has built on the ideas and approaches of independent rural initiatives that have crystallized in a rural movement for autonomous regional development. Since the mid-1980s,ideas such as these have found resonance in regional development programmes in some West German federal states.The implementation of leader projects in West Germany can be characterized by the institutionalization and neutralization of the approac…
