328 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In Global Environmental Challenges, a collection of experts examines globalization's multiple effects on the environments of countries in the Global South, and how they are addressed both domestically and internationally. As the process of globalization continues to unfold, several questions arise: What new environmental challenges has globalization brought to countries in the Global South? Has the international environmental agenda had an effect on the politics and policy of these countries? And finally, to what extent have international civil society actors influenced environmental management? Contributors here address these central questions by presenting eleven case studies from the Global South. In addressing these questions, Global Environmental Challenges examines the complex relationship between environmental management, development, and globalization.
