Fifty years after the Stockholm Conference first placed the
environment on the international development agenda, this Handbook
continues the debate. The Handbook discusses both the profound
environmental and theoretical critique against development as
modernization and economic growth, and how perspectives on nature
have changed from an infinite resource to a fragile subject.
Weighing up the successes and failures linked to environmental
concerns in development and environment policy and practice, it
recognizes the roots of international development as a Western
project linked to the expansion of an environmentally destructive
capitalism. Through active dialogue across geographical areas,
disciplines and epistemologies, chapters critically assess current
perspectives on the topic, including decolonialism, degrowth and
post-development. Grounded in recent research on topics such as
agriculture, fisheries, infrastructure, forest protection, supply
chain management, climate negotiations and the renewable
transition, the Handbook integrates a range of different viewpoints
on international development and the environment to provide a fresh
take on this contentious relationship. With an international scope,
this expansive Handbook will be integral reading for students and
scholars of development and the environment. It will also be a
beneficial read for practitioners working in international
organizations and development agencies.
