Description 1 online resource (xxix, 355 pages) : illustrations (some color) Contents Chapter 1- Setting the context -- Chapter 2- Managing natural resources sustainably: market and non-market comprehension -- Chapter 3- Biodiversity resources: degradation, protection, and sustainable conservation -- Chapter 4- Water resources: provision, distribution, and sustainable production -- Chapter 5- Climate change: are all countries suffering equally? -- Chapter 6- Conclusions: sustainable transformative pathways Summary The book addresses the gaps in the body of knowledge from two grounds. Firstly, it adds value through explaining the dynamics of natural resource governance by focusing on the particular arenas of biodiversity resources, water resources and climate change in developing country context. Secondly, it critically scrutinizes the market-centric perspectives on one hand and combines political economy questions that are generally overlooked in discussions of current resource governance framework, on the other. It develops a new framework to examine the reasons behind the degradations of natural resources to offer sustainable solutions to the problems. It shows that the natural resources have been exploited beyond sustainable limits due to the structural rigidities, embedded in, and reproduced by, fragile institutions and unequal power-sharing arrangements under the market-centric economic system. The book formulates a new understanding of sustainability in case of usage and management of natural resources by incorporating the idea of human sociality. It highlights the importance of the well-being of nature, and human beings must go side by side; one without the other is not a sustainable option. The book contains key learnings for scholars and researchers working in the field of development studies who wish to gain a deeper understanding on the sustainable natural resource governance specifically in the contexts of developing countries. For policymakers and policy advocates, the book serves as the groundwork on policies regarding biodiversity resources, water resources, and climate change, specific to the context of developing countries, providing more relevant contents in terms of laying out justification for policy objectives Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Print version record Subject Natural resources -- Developing countries -- Management Sustainable development -- Developing countries Environmental degradation -- Developing countries Well-being.
