This book comes at a time when the world is confronted by one of
the greatest challenges-the problem of environmental degradation. A
collection of articles by renowned economists, scientists, and
environmentalists, this book shows that while the state of the
environment is intricately linked to economic development, the
matter is in fact far more complex. One of the best-known
connections is the Environmental Kuznet's Curve hypothesis, the
limitations of which, both empirically and theoretically, are dealt
with in the early part of the book. This is followed by a
discussion on the shortcomings of the Kyoto Protocol and the
particular problem of green house gasses. The other issues covered
are: the negative contribution of environmental pollution; trade
liberalization and its impact on the environment of developing
countries, both in the short- and long term; alternative energy
sources.
