Encyclopaedia of International Environment and Management [EPUB ebook] 

This Encyclopaedia 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 view points to look at practical management and problemsolving 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. This Encyclopaedia evaluates the environmental management program in four areas: regulatory measures, organization and management, prioritysetting, timing and staging, and science and technology.
