Description:
Bringing together theoretical issues in development economics and a wide range of empirical evidence, this book examines and explores ways that environmental sustainability has been -- and might be -- incorporated into existing theories of economic development. Protection of the environment is an essential part of development, and the best chance for achieving long-term sustainable development is to systematically incorporate environmental issues into key aspects of economic development paradigms. To show this, Desta makes use of theoretical approaches, draws policy implications, and illustrates each point with in-depth case studies from developing countries.
