Omschrijving

The Technocratic Antarctic is an ethnographic account of the scientists and policymakers who work on Antarctica. Jessica O'Reilly conducted most of her research for this book in New Zealand, home of the "Antarctic Gateway" city of Christchurch, and on an expedition to Windless Bight, Antarctica, with the New Zealand Antarctic Program.



This book offers a focused 'ethnographic account' of those who provide scientific expertise and environmental governance on all matters pertaining to Antarctica. In O'Reilly's work, the scientific and policy practices described emerge from 'historical, moral, and political contexts' that help determine the scope and nature of managing Antarctica.... This book serves as a fine resource for those seeking more information about Antarctica and aspects of its environmental policy. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals.



Jessica O’Reilly is Assistant Professor in the Department of International Studies at Indiana University Bloomington.
