Offers 6 detailed case studies that show how strategies adopted by local communities achieved positive results despite a strong state bias toward development and the absence of existing advocacy groups, a free press, or politically vulnerable elected officials. O'Rourke's policy model of community-state synergy challenges traditional notions of state-centric environmental regulation and the idea that market mechanisms are the best way to solve environmental problems in developing countries.
