▪摘要这篇综述提出了这样一个问题：新的生态思维提出了哪些社会科学研究的新途径，其重点是非平衡动力学、时空变化、复杂性和不确定性？在回顾了“新生态学”的产生和与早期“自然平衡”观点的对比之后，考察了生态人类学、政治生态学、环境和生态经济学以及关于自然和文化的争论。除了一些重要的例外，许多社会科学工作以及相关的大众和政策辩论仍然牢牢地坚持静态和平衡的观点。这篇评论转向了三个出现了更具活力的观点的领域。每一个都有可能认真对待新生态思维的核心要素，有时会对规划、干预设计和管理产生重大实际后果。首先是对时空动力学的关注，S在其中展开了详细的论述。
▪ Abstract This review asks the question: What new avenues of social science enquiry are suggested by new ecological thinking, with its focus on nonequilibrium dynamics, spatial and temporal variation, complexity, and uncertainty? Following a review of the emergence of the “new ecology” and the highlighting of contrasts with earlier “balance of nature” perspectives, work emerging from ecological anthropology, political ecology, environmental and ecological economics, and debates about nature and culture are examined. With some important exceptions, much social science work and associated popular and policy debates remain firmly wedded to a static and equilibrial view. This review turns to three areas where a more dynamic perspective has emerged. Each has the potential to take central elements of new ecological thinking seriously, sometimes with major practical consequences for planning, intervention design, and management. First is the concern with spatial and temporal dynamics developed in detailed and s...
