DESCRIPTION:We will be discussing a chapter from a book manuscript tentati
 vely titled The Wrath of Change: State Elite\, Land Politics\, and the Tra
 nsformation of the Postsocialist Landscape in Romania. The book manuscript
  looks at the environmental changes which paralleled the political and eco
 nomic ones. It seeks to understand the unintended outcomes of the land ref
 orm in postsocialist Romania. Severe deforestation is one of these. The ch
 apter looks at the political dynamics and social relations between the sta
 te\, which is the owner and manager of a National Park in the Southern Car
 pathians\, local political elite\, and forest owners. The three actors str
 uggle for imposing meanings\, over what the landscape is\, what it is good
  for and who should define the ways it is managed and used.
