This new edition has been completely re-written and gives a valuable analysis of the theory and practice of sustainable development and suggests at the start of the new millennium we should think radically about the challenge of sustainability

Green Development II is unique in offering a synthesis of the distinctly theoretical ideas on sustainability based on the industrialised economies of the North and the practical, applied ideas in the South which tend to ignore 'First World' theory. It gives a clear discussion of theory and extensive practical insights drawn fron Africa, Latin America and Asia. It now has futher reading and chapter outlines and summaries for the student reader.
