Description:

This book analyses the impact of environmental constraints on the patterns of development in both the North and the South, and on the relations between the two. Experts from the South and the North assess the kinds of economic institutions, government policies and international arrangements which are needed in order to achieve sustainable development in both the industrial and developing world, and a just and economically viable relationship between them.
