Author Description
This two-volume book is the result of concern for translating specialized multi and transdisciplinary research into effective policy measures in the global South. Thus, researchers, academics, creative writers, thoerists, activists and policy-makers from different regions of the world haveendeavored to highlight critical issues of social and economic development. Both volumes highlight the crosscutting linkages between the environment and social sectors, and the increasingly complex demands upon the policy arena to respond to these issues quickly and effectively. The first volumeaddresses the broad theme of the environment and its interface with governance and globalization; the second volume addresses the issue of sustainable development vis-a-vis the social sectors.

This volume investigates the persistent disconnect between specialized multi-disciplinary research and the implementation of effective policy measures within the global South. The Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) compiles contributions from a diverse cohort of academics, theorists, and activists to examine how environmental governance and globalization intersect. The text argues that current policy frameworks must evolve to address the increasingly complex, cross-cutting demands of social and economic development in developing regions.
