Ravi Rajan 520 8 $a This book is the result of a collaborative effort in which environmental historians from Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa came together to offer new perspectives on the new and somehow intriguing entity. These scholars forged a dialogue from their own historical traditions to find common threads and common challenges. The contributors focus on three basic themes that can serve as building blocks for future research: the state, the civil society, and the academia, that is, what has been written in each country on the relations between nature and society over time. The historical perspective is crucial for understanding the environmental and social challenges which might be faced by the BRICS nations in the years to come. 651 0 $a BRIC countries $x Environmental conditions $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Civil society $z BRIC countries $v Congresses. 651 0 $a BRIC countries $x Historiography $x Historiography $v Congresses. 651 0 $a BRIC countries $x Economic policy $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Environmental policy $z BRIC countries $v Congresses. 651 7 $a BRIC countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01896747 650 7 $a Economic policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902025 650 7 $a Environmental policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913250 650 7 $a Ecology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901476 650 7 $a Civil society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862876 655 7 $a Conference papers and proceedings. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423772 655 7 $a Conference papers and proceedings. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026068 700 1 $a Rajan, S.
