The handbook seeks to illuminate the key concepts in the study of
development-environment through showcasing some of the Majoritarian
(formerly "Developing") world's scholars in order to explore
theoretical connections through critical/radical theory, "small"
theory, various conceptual frameworks, and non-Western and
subaltern viewpoints. The volume examines the themes around the
study of the relationship between economic and social development
and the environment. Part 1 covers theoretical and conceptual
approaches to the study of development and environment by examining
the diverse ways in which people perceive, understand, and act upon
the world around them. Cross-scalar topics such as neo-liberalism
and globalization, human rights, climate change, sustainability,
and technology are covered in Part 2. The book shifts to
examinations of resources and production in Part 3, where authors
with a focus on one or more environmental resources or types of
economic production are presented. Topics range from water,
agriculture, and food, to energy, bioeconomy, and mining. The
fourth section presents chapters where people are at the center of
the development-environment nexus through topics such as gender
relations, children, health, and cities. Finally, policy and
governance of development and environment are explored in Part 5.
The section includes both academics and practitioners who have
worked with policy makers and are policy makers themselves. The
book is primarily intended for scholars and graduate students in
geography, environmental studies, and development studies for whom
it will provide an invaluable and up-to-date guide to current
thinking across the range of disciplines, which converge in the
study of development and environment.
