Infrastructure, Environment and Materiality in Eastern Europe and beyond

The volume innovatively depicts the ecological, legal, and political dimensions of infrastructure in the light of its transformations after the demise of state socialism(s) in various Eastern European regions and explores other areas worldwide. Drawing on issues in anthropology, environmental studies, and infrastructure studies/STS the book examines the politics and impacts of infrastructures, especially related to social difference and resource access. It covers the relationships between environments and infrastructures and asks how we can manage these systems in the Anthropocene.
