This book provides a critical examination of the role communication plays in both construction and destruction of community. The authors examine the processes and practices put in play when people who may or may not have previously seen themselves as interconnected, communicate with each other, often in situations where they are competing for the same resource. Drawing upon a diverse selection of case-studies, including joint forest management in East Sikkim, India and natural resource management conflict in the Netherlands and Sweden, the chapters chart a range of key topics, including symbolic construction, modes of organising and the politics of communication.
