This book investigates the relationship between sustainable
development and structural transformation within international
development policy. On the one hand, sustainable development is
promoted as a multi-dimensional concept for achieving
environmentally and socially responsible change. On the other hand,
structural transformation refers to a sustained period of growth in
living standards and incomes that brings sectoral change. For some,
these two objectives seem at odds with each other, but this book
argues that incorporating environmental initiatives into structural
transformation goals in lower-income countries actually results in
better results than strategies prioritising economic growth.
Drawing on extensive structural equation modelling and original
analysis, the book presents an innovative inclusive sustainable
development framework to demonstrate the benefits of a more
integrated approach to development planning, aiming for structural
transformation in line with inclusive sustainable development
principles. This book will be of interest to students and
researchers of global development, and to policymakers within
government and development organizations.
