To widespread Critical acclaim it exposed the damaging environmental and social effects of structural adjustment policies, and called for a thorough revision of the then-current development policy.This new work; Structural Adjustment, the Environment and sustainable Development is a major step forward in the study of structural adjustment policies. It looks in detail at new research and analysis into their effects, and incorporates recent studies by a wide range of academics and policy-makers, leading experts and institutes. Focusing on nine in-depth case studies, the book examines the complex links between macroeconomic policies, social impacts and environmental outcomes, and takes a forward-looking perspective in outlining the alternatives to current structural adjustment policies.Review quotes for Structural Adjustment and the Environment'Should be essential reading for all students of development' Third World Planning Review'Breaks new ground in the debate on structural adjustment generally. and in the environment\/development debate' International Affairs'The most substantial contribution to date to what is undoubtedly an important area' Development and ChangeDavid Reed is director of the Macroeconomics for Sustainable Development Programme of WWF International, and editor of Structural Adjustment and the Environment (Earthscan, 1992).Originally published in 1996","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51225414598929,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51225416827153,"sku":"NIN9780415850872","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52196187210001,"sku":"NLS9780415850872","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415850878.jpg?v=1786183766"},{"product_id":"dryland-management-economic-case-studies-book-john-a-dixon-9781844079636","title":"Dryland Management: Economic Case Studies","description":"Drylands are a sizeable part of the world's potentially arable land.

Systems of farming and burning often degrade dryland further until it is desert. Today, however, the problem is becoming much more serious. Over 20 per cent of the world's population lives in dryland areas, and unless action is taken drylands will increase dramatically. This book focuses on the people who live and .farm in the drylands, their use of land resources and the economic returns from their decisions. In a clear and thorough economic appraisal, the authors show how it is still possible to arrest the problem.

They look at both market and intervention policies and show how each can further the destruction of the forests, and they set out ways in which future policies can evade the mistakes of the past.
