Sustainable Welfare In The Asia-Pacific: Studies Using the Genuine Progress Indicator (Advances in Ecological Economics Series)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `It is no small thing to shift the burden of proof. Yet that is what Lawn and Clarke, and their colleagues, have done in this remarkable study. . . Thanks to Lawn and Clarke for suggesting many specific policies rooted in a clear analysis. . .` - From the preface by Herman Daly Frequent references are made to the `Asian economic miracle` as a means of describing the wave of GDP growth experienced across the Asia-Pacific region over the past twenty years. Implicit in this description is the assumption that the Asia-Pacific region has progressed at the same rate that GDP has risen over the same period. But is this truly the case? Employing a Genuine Progress Indicator as an alternative measure of sustainable welfare, the contributors to this book aim to answer this question by presenting case studies of seven Asia-Pacific nations. The results reveal that all is not as positive as conventional indicators might suggest. The book shows that the three wealthy nations - Australia,… [detailed...]

Sustaining Agriculture and the Rural Environment: Governance, Policy and Multifunctionality (Advances in Ecological Economics)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionApart from food and raw materials, agriculture can also provide ancillary benefits such as landscapes, biodiversity, cultural heritage and thriving rural communities. This book offers a state-of-the-art overview of strategies for sustainable management practices and their implementation through the adoption of suitable instruments. Such practices aim to sustain and support the multiple functions provided by agriculture and natural resources in the rural countryside. The authors explore the value of alternative governance structures and examine the design of policy models and institutional mechanisms for a range of different countries and agricultural methods. The empirical results allow them to identify successful examples as well as recognize practices which have failed. They can then transfer positive policies to geographical areas or production systems where effective and efficient strategies for the sustainable management of natural resources are urgently needed….

Sustaining Gains in Poverty Reduction and Human Development in the Middle East and North Africa (Orientations in Development)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book reviews the experience of the MENA region with poverty and human development since the mid-1980s. It finds evidence of stagnation in the rate of poverty reduction during this period combined with substantial improvement in non-income dimensions of poverty such as health and education indicators. The stagnation in income poverty reduction is a consequence of the stagnation of the region`s economies during this period while the improvement in human indicators is likely due to several factors including improvement in the delivery of public health and education services. The first result highlights the importance of getting on to a higher growth track. The second suggests that, even in the absence of income growth, the health and education aspects of the living standards of the poor can be enhanced through attention to public service delivery. Raising the average growth rate will require attention to be paid to maintaining sound macroeconomic management and accelerating… [detailed...]

While a few of the articles broadly discuss the issues involved in long-term cultural transformation, the vast majority provide highly illuminating and often inspirational case studies. .
