Resumo

A literatura recente promove a ideia de que a história ambiental poderia consolidar a sua "virada cultural" (White 2004), centrando-se sobre indivíduos que foram significativos nas interações entre o homem e o ambiente. Sugere-se uma abordagem baseada na noção de biografia de Margadant, e são observadas as publicações mais recentes na história ambiental utilizando uma abordagem biográfica.

In addition, Dr, Brannstrom is interested in changes in natural resource regimes, particularly the decentralization of policies for water resources, and the impacts of agricultural land uses on the environment in Brazil, particularly western Bahia. An ongoing project, “New Environmental Governance in Brazil”, developed by Dr. Brannstrom, analyzed types of governance regimes, evaluates the influence of state actors and civil society on water governance, and measures environmental outcomes of new governance regimes.
