This book scrutinises the social and environmental impacts of the rapidly expanding pulp and paper industry in the South, showing how the new pulpwood plantations contribute to poverty, degradation of soil, water and biodiversity, and rural strife in countries as diverse as Chile, South Africa and Indonesia. It analyses the forces behind the plantation boom, and the history and globalisation of the industry, showing how the main players pass the risks onto local people and contain their resistance to the imposition of plantations on their lands.
