Описание:
This timely book brings together scholars, journalists, consultants and NGO activists to offer greater understanding of the interaction of politics, sustainable development and environmental change in the developing world. Ostensibly "green" activities -- plantation forestry, eco-tourism, hydroelectricity -- are revealed as guises used by elites to promote their own political and economic interests. Pointing to fatal flaws in presently exclusive economic and ecological approaches, this book emphasizes the centrality of politics to environmental change issues and the necessity of human response to that change.Похожие книги
