Growing Pains examines environmental management in the South from a number of perspectives. It is designed to stimulate the discussion about the role that corporations and national and international organisations play in sustainable development. It does not offer panaceas, as each country has its own problems and opportunities; and, after almost 50 years of failed panacea-oriented economic development policy transfer from the North to the South, it is time to abandon hope for universal solutions and instead look to individual approaches that work.
This new book presents a body of work that will provide essential reading for business working in developing countries, environmental and developmental NGOs and researchers engaged in the debate and sharing of best practice in this increasingly critical subject area.
