Emerging Economies and Challenges to Sustainability: Theories, strategies, local realities
Bu e-kitap hakkında
The book investigates how the development strategies of emerging economies challenge traditional development theory and sustainability discourses. With regional introductions and original case studies from South Asia, East Asia, Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa, it discusses how to conceptualise sustainable development in the global race for economic prosperity. What characterises the development strategies of emerging economies, and what challenges are these posing for global sustainable development? How can emerging economies shed light on the global challenges, dilemmas and paradoxes of the relationship between socio-economic improvements and environmental degradation?
This book will be a valuable resource for researchers and postgraduates in development studies, geography, economics and environmental studies.
