The Nile on eBay   FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE   Research Handbook on the Green Economy by Andrew Jones, Patrik Ström

Outlining how the concepts of green economy and green growth have become the forefront of policy and political debates within the last decade, this compelling Research Handbook investigates the policies and plans that utilise these concepts at both the local and global level to achieve a truly green economy.Commencing with a review of green economy's development from the 1980s onwards, the Research Handbook on the Green Economy examines its progression through the 1990s, illustrating the lack of progress in the early years until sustainable development gathered traction in the early 2000s. Taking a theoretical approach to green economy research, this Research Handbook examines recent trends and developments within global industries and sectors including product circulation and manufacturing, alongside green services, construction, renewable energy and tourism. Chapters also discuss the directions and challenges for future research, in particular the concepts of 'lean', waste reduction and greenwashing in the green economy.This timely and fascinating book will be an excellent resource for scholars and researchers in the fields of environmental economics, economic geography, business and management studies, and environmental governance and regulation. The illustrated future strategies highlighted in this Research Handbook will also provide excellent guidance for policymakers at both local and national government levels.

Recommended to all who are interested in these ideas.' -- Anil Markandya, BC3 Basque Centre for Climate Change, Spain'Since its emergence in the late 1980s, the term "green economy" has become ubiquitous in contemporary policy debates. This book provides the most comprehensive and thorough treatment of the topic to date, highlighting various definitions and approaches to greening economies as well as applications to specific industries and case studies.' -- Edward Barbier, Colorado State University, US
