Handbook on International Development and the Environment

Edited by Benedicte Bull and Mariel Aguilar-Støen

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Fifty years after the Stockholm Conference first placed the environment on the international development agenda, this Handbook continues the debate. Not only does it discuss the profound environmental and theoretical critique against ‘development’ as modernization and economic growth, but also how perspectives on nature have changed from an infinite resource to a fragile subject.
