Ruşen Keleş is an urban studies scholar and author whose work examines urbanization, local government, housing, environmental policy, and regional development. Territorial Governance and Environmental Protection brings two persistent concerns of his scholarship into the same frame: how authority is distributed across levels of government and how environmental responsibilities are protected through institutions. The book is useful for readers comparing centralized policy with local or regional decision-making, especially where planning and ecological protection overlap. Keleş’s wider work connects these questions to democratic participation, municipal capacity, housing pressure, and uneven development. Territorial Governance and Environmental Protection offers a focused account of that approach, linking territorial authority with ecological responsibility and public policy.
