Reference excerpt

The Indian Society for Ecological Economics (INSEE) was founded in 1998 and registered as a Society under the Societies Registration Act in January 1999. Headquartered in New Delhi, this is a regional society affiliated to the International Society for Ecological Economics (ISEE). The society publishes a bi-annual, open access peer-reviewed journal Ecology, Economy and Society–The INSEE Journal, books and other materials, and holds periodic meetings and conferences to facilitate a voice for ecological economists. The INSEE was initially presided over by Kanchan Chopra of the Institute of Economic Growth, and subsequently by C.H. Hanumantha Rao, Gopal K. Kadekodi, Narpat Singh Jodha, Jayanta Bandyopadhyay, Sudarshan Iyengar, Kanchan Chopra, Amita Shah, Sharachchandra Lele, Pranab Mukhopadhyay, K.N. Ninan, and Shreekant Gupta. The present President of INSEE is Nilanjan Ghosh.

Areas of Work The work of INSEE has broadly addressed issues of sustainable development, urbanization, climate change and disasters, global commons and environment. The INSEE journal and the biennial conferences have contributed significantly to the development and environment discourse in India. The conceptual approach of INSEE spans the disciplinary divide of the sub-fields of ecological economics and environmental economics and has "...remained both conceptually and methodologically open, and relatively free of this divide", from a position that does not "...typecast any specific definition of ecological economics". As noted by Ghosh and others (2016): "Ecological economics has been acknowledged by the Society to subsume the neoclassical framework of environmental economics, apart from considering the broader body of the literature emerging at the interface of economics, ecological sciences, hydrology, geology, geography, sociology, political science, anthropology etc."

Ecology, Economy and Society–The INSEE Journal Ecology, Economy and Society–The INSEE Journal is a bi-annual journal published by the Indian Society for Ecological Economics. The first two issues appeared in 2018 and two issues have been published each year since then. The journal today publishes papers on ecological economics, sustainable development and multi-disciplinary subjects related to ecology, economy, and society. Besides regular academic and review papers, the journal also carries book reviews and commentaries on related topics.

INSEE Conferences INSEE holds biennial conferences in different locations:

Tenth INSEE Biennial Conference, 2019, CESS, Hyderabad, INSEE-CESS International Conference, "Climate Change and Disasters: Challenges, Opportunities and Responses", 6–8 November 2019 Ninth INSEE Biennial Conference, 2017, KILA, Thrissur, "Sustainability, Institutions, Incentives: Voices, Policies and Commitments", 8–10 November 2017 Eighth INSEE Biennial Conference, 2016, Bengaluru, "Urbanization and the Environment", 4–6 January 2016 Seventh INSEE Biennial Conference, 2013, Guwahati, "Global Change, Ecosystems, Sustainability", 5–8 December 2013 Sixth INSEE Biennial Conference, 2011, Hyderabad, "Nature, Economy and Society: Understanding the Linkages", 20–22 October 2011 Fifth INSEE Biennial Conference, 2009, Ahmedabad, "Environmental Governance", 20–21 January 2009 Fourth INSEE Biennial Conference, 2005, Mumbai, "Ecology and Human Well Being", 3–4 June 2005 Third INSEE Biennial Conference, 2003, Mumbai, "Biodiversity and Quality of Life", 18–20 December 2003 Second INSEE Biennial Conference, 2001, Bhopal, "Water Resources, Sustainable Livelihood and Eco-system Services", 19–21 December 2001 First INSEE Biennial Conference, 1999, Bangalore, "Ecological Economics For Sustainable Development", 20–22 December 1999

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Indian Society for Ecological Economics

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Indian Society for Ecological Economics claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Indian Society for Ecological Economics before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Indian Society for Ecological Economics ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Indian Society for Ecological Economics

In research: Indian Society for Ecological Economics appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Indian Society for Ecological Economics in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Indian Society for Ecological Economics is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Ecological economics, Environmental social science, Natural resources organizations, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Indian Society for Ecological Economics outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
