NEW FACE OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT IN INDIA

"Environmental management in India has witnessed remarkable changes during the last decade, driven by global as well as intrinsically domestic factors. This book distinguishes between the different regulatory, economic, structural and social forces that have led to the changes in environmental management, both in urban and rural India. In particular, commitments under multilateral agreements, new domestic environmental policies, environmental provisions in international trade under the WTO, non-governmental organizations and community participation have all played significant roles in this process. Sawhney analyzes the role of each agent of change, and the challenges of enhancing long-term sustainable economic development in a large and diverse country like India."--BOOK JACKET.
