The Routledge Handbook of Development and Environment
The handbook seeks to illuminate the key concepts in the study of development-environment through showcasing some of the Majoritarian (formerly Developing) worlds emerging scholars in order to explore theoretical connections through critical/radical theory, small theory, various conceptual frameworks, and non-Western and subaltern viewpoints.
The volume examines the themes around the study of the relationship between economic and social development and the environment. , where authors with a focus on one or more environmental resources or types of economic production are presented. Topics range from water, agriculture, and food, to energy, bioeconomy, and mining. The fourth section presents chapters where people are at the center of the development-environment nexus through topics such as gender relations, children, health, and cities. Finally, policy and governance of development and environment are explored in Part 5. The section includes both academics and practitioners who have worked with policy makers and are policy makers themselves.
The book is primarily intended for scholars and graduate students in geography, environmental studies, and development studies for whom it will provide an invaluable and up-to-date guide to current thinking across the range of disciplines, which converge in the study of development and environment.
