The 1990s have seen a growing interest in the role of local ecological knowledge in the context of sustainable development, and particularly in providing a set of responses to which populations may resort in times of political, economic and environmental instability. The period 1996-2003 in island southeast Asia represents a critical test case for understanding how this might work. The key issues to be explored in this book will be the creation, erosion and transmission of ecological knowledge, and hybridization between traditional and scientifically-based knowledge, amongst populations facing environmental stress (e.g. 1997 El Niño), political conflict and economic hazards. The book will also evaluate positive examples of how traditional knowledge has enabled local populations to cope with these kinds of insecurity.

Following up her previous study of Soviet Russia's underground economy of favors, Ledeneva tracks the disconcerting speed with which the system of "blat" transformed through cash into a vast network of "piar" (PR--good, incriminating and flat-out blackmail via "kompromat"), fraudulent accounting practices, personal links of influence (krugovaia poruka), tabloid newspapers, melodramatic lawyers and legions of undermeployed ex-KGB agents for hire.
