Economic Policies for Sustainable Development
Author: Thomas SternerPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9780792326809
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
This book focuses on describing policy instruments in different countries. Its purpose is not only descriptive but also, to some extent, advocatory. We believe that economic instruments can make an important contribution to an environmentally less disruptive path of development. The design of economic instruments is however a fine art and depends among other things on their political acceptability and this acceptability is of course influenced by experience. It is therefore important to provide information on the use of policy instruments in other countries. Policies are currently developing quite fast and thus a book such as this one can inevitably not capture more than a "snapshot" view at a single moment of time. We would hope that the book encourages more experimentation with economic instruments and that countries will make a fuller use of the whole arsenal of economic policy instruments. If the book does succeed in this sense then it will soon become dated as policies change -but that would be a price well worth paying! The book combines a dozen country monographs together with a few international surveys on particular topics (gasoline pricing, vehicle regulations, acid rain, deforestation and global warming). These papers are intended to illustrate the diversity of policy options available. The actual policies adopted depend on economic as well as ecological conditions. The country studies cover two "Western" countries and then concentrate on formerly planned and developing countries. They show that economic instruments are still generally thought of as new and innovative.

Book Description
The National Environmental Policy Workshop was organised by Tanzania Government departments, assisted by CEEST. The purpose was to provide inputs into and facilitate the formulation of a national environmental policy for Tanzania, and to provide a focus for close consultation and cooperation among the various actors. The 171 participants were mostly Tanzanian policy and decision makers, planners in public and private sectors, institutions of research and higher learning, NGOs, and members of parliament. Also attending were donor organisations, representations from neighbouring countries, multilateral agencies, and the press. This publication summarises the workshop proceedings and presents in full the technical papers presented. The book is in three parts: Institution and Policy Issues; Management Issues; and Sectoral Issues.

ISBN: 0190637382
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
'Democracy in the Woods' examines the trajectories of forest and land rights in India, Tanzania, and Mexico to explain how societies negotiate the tensions between environmental protection and social justice. It shows that the social consequences of environmental protection depend, almost entirely, on political intermediation of competing claims to environmental resources.

Urban Development Policy
Author: Economic Change Governance and Natural Resource Wealth
Author: David ReedPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000939545
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 109
Book Description
This volume analyzes the ways in which natural resource wealth has shaped authoritarian political regimes and statist economic systems in the countries of southern Africa in the post-colonial period. It consists of five essays. The first sets out the historical framework and emergence of natural resources as the crucial driver of economies in sub-Saharan Africa. Three essays, drawing on in-country research, focus on Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. They show how this explains the economic evolution of those countries - in particular, the impacts of economic and institutional changes on the bulk of the population, the rural poor. The final essay explores the nature of the changes and their neoliberal economic context, and the ways in which their harmful consequences might be relieved.
