About the authors
Shew-Jiuan SU is Professor of human geography and Chair of the Department of Geography, National Taiwan Normal University, TAIWAN. Appreciating today’s trans- disciplinary academic world and understanding the critical need for solutions to facing and solving contemporary environmental issues, Professor Su has involved in both political economy and political ecology approaches in her teaching and research. The structural approaches of political economy have provided insights for linking geopark promotion with the national legislative and educational development of Taiwan. Approaches of political ecology have become useful for a bottom-up development of geopark promotion. In the end, however, all the schools of thought will need to become integral for the sustainability development of human societies and the only human planet.
