Achieving Broad-Based Sustainable Development: Governance, Environment, and Growth with Equity

Despite the challenges, broad-based sustainable development is achievable. Achieving Broad-Based Sustainable Development (BBSD) presents a wholistic approach to development which extends beyond the narrow goal of economic growth. The authors provide a thoroughly accessible model to integrate economic development, environmental requirements, and the full range of factors affecting their success–social, cultural, and political. Throughout the book, the authors define what governments can and must do if they want to promote BBSD. This comprehensive and multidisciplinary work provides an excellent and positive introduction to what is possible for students studying economics, political science, anthropology and sociology, environment, international relations, gender and third world studies.
