This book provides a comprehensive overview of emerging challenges
facing different social groups, policy-makers and the international
community related to economic growth, social development and
environmental change, social inclusion and regional development.
The book undertakes a critical assessment of the tensions
associated with the failures of mainstream regulatory approaches
and impacts of social and economic policies whilst widening the
discussion on the interface between the expansion of the
socio-environmental demands, equity and justice. These are crucial
challenges, of great importance today and of equal relevance to the
Global North and South. The book explores one of the main
contradictions of development, the simplification of assessments
and narrow consideration of alternatives. Taking this dilemma as
its departure point, it goes on to examine the justification,
trends and limitations of Western-based development and possible
alternatives to fundamentally modify the basis and the rationale of
the development process. It considers theoretical and lived
experiences of development, paying attention to multiple scales,
local realities and economic frontiers. Contributing authors
explore policy recommendations and discuss effective practical
tools for determining the values different people hold for
ecosystem services and territorial resources. They cover the
monitoring of change in the provision of ecosystem services that
might increase the well-being of vulnerable groups as well as
strategies to promote innovation and integrated, equitable and
sustainable development.
