For the populations of the developing economies - the vast majority
of humanity - the present century offers the prospect of emulating
Western standards of living. This hope is combined with increasing
awareness of the environmental consequences of the very process of
global industrialisation itself. This book explores the
interactions between economic development and the physical
environment in four regions of the developing world: Sub-Saharan
Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Asia. The contributors
focus on the 'Anthropocene': our present era, in which humanity's
influence on the physical environment has begun to mark the
geological record. Economic Development and Environmental History
in the Anthropocene examines environmental changes at global level
and human responses to environmental opportunities and constraints
on more local and regional scales, themes which have been
insufficiently studied to date. This volume fills this gap in the
literature by combining historical, economic and geographical
perspectives to consider the implications of the Anthropocene for
economic development in Asia and Africa.
