Overview

The expansion of the pulp and paper industry is an important cause of land and water conflicts in the South. This book analyzes the threats to livelihood, soil and biodiversity generated by large-scale pulpwood plantations in Asia, Africa and Latin America. It explains how the wood-fibre industry captures subsidies, redistributes risk, manages paper demand and evades, digests and regulates resistance. The book provides insights into the history, causes and workings of globalization in the pulp and paper industry, and suggests possible alternative paths.
