Book Synopsis Environmental Policy in India by : Shreekant Gupta
Download or read book Environmental Policy in India written by Shreekant Gupta. This book was released on 2003. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Home to one-sixth of the world's population, India confronts a range of environmental challenges, making it well worthy of particular study and analysis. As India's environmental problems become more compelling, the legal approach - governmental policy entailing much legislative interventions enforced by an 'Inspector Raj' is proving untenable. Shreekant Gupta and John Adams focus on market and policy failure; for example subsidies with perverse environmental effects as underlying causes of environmental degradation. After appraising environment-economy interactions at the micro and macro level, the book proposes a shift to a paradigm incorporating market-based incentives, such as trading rights regimes. The experiences of other emerging economies exemplify the workability of the new policy mechanisms.

Book Synopsis The Economics of Sustainable Development by : Surender Kumar
Download or read book The Economics of Sustainable Development written by Surender Kumar. This book was released on 2009-06-10. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights methodological approaches for the economics of sustainable development and brings together recent empirical work done in India, especially by Dr. Surender Kumar and Dr. Shunsuke Managi. Various chapters in this book use Indian data to show the very wide applicability of methodologies in the theory of production for dealing with many empirical issues of environmentally sustainable development in a developing country. I congratulate the authors for the time and effort devoted to compiling this very useful reference on the subject and the publishers for publishing this volume. The methodologies of cost functions, distance functions, and production fu- tions have been used in many recent studies and in the studies reported in this book for environmental valuation. Environmental valuation is required for designing policy instruments like pollution taxes for sustainable development and for meas- ing green GDP. The UN methodology of integrated environmental and economic accounting provides ways of measuring the cost of maintaining environmental resources at sustainable levels or the maintenance cost for estimating green GDP. Some of the chapters in this book show that the methodology of distance functions could be used for estimating the cost of environmentally sustainable development.

Book Synopsis The Political Economy of Soil Erosion in Developing Countries by : Piers Blaikie
Download or read book The Political Economy of Soil Erosion in Developing Countries written by Piers Blaikie. This book was released on 2016-05-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1985. This book examines wide variety of ways in which environmental deterioration, in particular soil erosion, can be viewed and the implicit political judgements that often inform them. Using the context of developing countries, where the effects tend to be more acute due to underdevelopment and climatic factors, this work aims to examine this source of uncertainty and make explicit the underlying assumptions in the debate about soil erosion. It also rejects the notion that soil erosion is a politically neutral issue and argues that conservation requires fundamental social change. This title will be of interest to students of environmental and developmental studies.

Book Synopsis Political Economy of Development and Environment in Modern India by : Velayutham Saravanan
Download or read book Political Economy of Development and Environment in Modern India written by Velayutham Saravanan. This book was released on 2023-04-24. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book captures the complexities of both development and environment, from the political economy point of view, to offer a broad economic and environmental history of post-independence India. It analyses the various components of constitutional provisions, policies, programmes and ecology protection measures during the post-independence period, that is, 1947–2020. The author also investigates India’s land and forest policies of the 21st century: Fair Compensation of Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act 2013 and the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act 2006, which pose a great threat to ecology and the environment. The volume argues how, on one hand, the development agenda has undermined the environmental components for the first three decades of independence and, on the other hand, how the popular vote bank politics further has aggravated the issues related to environment in India. This book is an essential interdisciplinary resource for scholars and researchers of history, economic history, environmental studies, environmental history, Indian history and development studies.
