The rise of emerging economies represents a challenge to
traditional global power balances and raises the question of how we
can combine sustainability with continued economic growth.
Understanding this global shift and its impact on the environment
is the paramount contemporary challenge for development-oriented
researchers and policy makers alike. This book breaks new ground by
combining scholarship on the role of emerging economies with
research on sustainable development. 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.
