Synopses & Reviews
The links between poverty and environmental damage, two of today's most serious global problems, are becoming more and more apparent. By applying current learning theory to policy integration, this book identifies the ways in which we might be taught to understand and better manage trade-offs among environmental, social, and economic imperatives.
Working with insufficient data and few successful case studies, many policy makers are now recommending the integration of environmental, social, and economic policies as a way of achieving sustainable and equitable development. Unfortunately, the tools, methods, and institutional arrangements needed to create and implement such solutions are poorly under stood.
This is the first book to provide concrete examples of meaningful policy integration from both Northern and Southern perspectives, and should be read by anyone concerned with the issues of global development and the conservation of our natural resources.
