Résumé :
|
This chapter sheds light on the environmental history of European birdpolitics and shifting human-animal relations in the long twentieth centuryby focusing on two overarching foci: the relations and interactions betweenhuman and non-human actors and between biology, geographies, and politics.The agency of migrating birds caused activities of ornithologists,preservationists, and policy-makers and both nourished and challenged ideasof European distinctiveness. Looking at the history of bird politics notonly provides insights into the Europeanization of routines, practices, andregime-building that were shaped by natural dynamics as well as human madeprocesses, but also reflects the fundamental changes that took place inEuropean land management during the twentieth century
