在这本开创性的书中，卡特里娜·施瓦茨研究了环境政治、全球化和民族认同在一个东欧小国：今天的拉脱维亚的交集。基于广泛的民族志研究和生动的话语分析，它探讨了后苏联时代该国在自然管理、生物多样性保护和农村发展方面对欧洲援助和政治压力的反应。这些反应是由激烈争论的国家认同概念塑造的，这些概念被表述为对“理想”乡村景观的截然不同的愿景。这个故事的参与者包括拉脱维亚农民和其他传统的农村居民，环境倡导者，以及对欧洲可持续发展的新方法持不同态度的专业人士。一套根深蒂固的林业和土地管理做法，植根于苏联和前苏联时代，面临着越来越大的国际压力，要求这个小国遵守目前(西方)的环境责任观念--拉脱维亚人经常认为这些观念与当地利益相抵触。虽然拉脱维亚的情况是这样的，但施瓦茨探索的动态具有广泛的适用性，并有力地表达了关于可持续发展、自然的社会建设、民族主义的来源以及全球化和区域一体化对传统民族国家的影响等更广泛的理论讨论。
In this groundbreaking book, Katrina Schwartz examines the intersection of environmental politics, globalization, and national identity in a small East European country: modern-day Latvia. Based on extensive ethnographic research and lively discourse analysis, it explores that country's post-Soviet responses to European assistance and political pressure in nature management, biodiversity conservation, and rural development. These responses were shaped by hotly contested notions of national identity articulated as contrasting visions of the "ideal" rural landscape. The players in this story include Latvian farmers and other traditional rural dwellers, environmental advocates, and professionals with divided attitudes toward new European approaches to sustainable development. An entrenched set of forestry and land management practices, with roots in the Soviet and pre-Soviet eras, confront growing international pressures on the small country to conform to current (Western) notions of environmental responsibility - notions often perceived by Latvians to be at odds with local interests. While the case is that of Latvia, the dynamics Schwartz explores have wide applicability and speak powerfully to broader theoretical discussions about sustainable development, social constructions of nature, the sources of nationalism, and the impacts of globalization and regional integration on the traditional nation-state.
