The continual degradation of the planet's environment is something
that affects every person in every country, be it developed or
developing. Statements and policies are made at international
levels, but their effectiveness is questionable. Also, are
techniques of environmental management (EM) used in the west
appropriate and relevant to the much poorer developing countries
needs and priorities? How can they be expected to follow policies
or to even just have a responsible attitude to the environment,
when the governments of western developed countries have failed to
keep standards set or have side-stepped policies and repeatedly
shrugged off any sense of global responsibility.
Courses on environment and development usually have a strong
environmental management component. By focusing on environmental
management this book is very different from existing environment
and development texts, whose emphasis is on listing problems,
making warnings and voicing advocacy. This title moves on from
these viewpoints to look at practical management and
problem-solving techniques. Environmental management, by
definition, also encompasses global problems and future challenges
for our increasingly globalized society.
"Environmental Management and Development" clarifies the
definition, nature and role of environmental management in
development and developing countries. It begins with an
introduction to the key terms, issues and tools of environmental
management, which are linked and developed in the following
chapters on specific environmental issues, making extensive use of
global-local case studies. The book concludes by discussing who
pays for EM and the future for EM in developing countries.
