Developing World And The Environment ― Making The Case For Effective Protection Of The Global Environment

Drawing on his background in literature and law, Ramlogan (management studies, U. of the West Indies, Trinidad) analyzes the role of humans in affecting environmental change, and the extent to which laws can be used to forge a more harmonious and sustainable relationship between the people and the environment. Among his topics are the bases and rise of modern environmentalism; making impossible choices in developing countries; and a revolutionary, institutional, and legal response. The study is revised from his 2000 doctoral dissertation in international legal studies for the University of Cambridge. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
