Partha Dasgupta (Editor), Karl-Gï¿1/2ran Mï¿1/2ler (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 11, 2001 | Series: Wider Studies in Development Economics

These volumes present a set of authoritative studies of the role of environmental resources in the economic development process, written by leading scholars in a wide range of associated fields. Contributors address the problems connected with the management of local common property resources, such as soil, water, forests and their products, animals and fisheries, and supply both explanations of existing situations and policies for the future. To provide material that can be used in classroom teaching, the chapters are written as surveys rather than expositions of contributors' most recent work.
