<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Sustainable Economic Development: Resources, Environment, and Institutions</i> presents 25 articles that lay the foundations of sustainable development in a way that facilitates effective policy design. The editors mix broad thematic papers with focused micro-papers, balancing theories with policy designs. The book begins with two sections on sustainable development principles and practice and on specific settings where sustainable development is practiced. Two more sections illuminate institutions, governance, and political economy. Additional sections cover sustainable development and agriculture, and risk and economic security, including disaster management. This rich source of information should appeal to any institution involved in development work, and to development practitioners grappling with an array of difficult on-the-ground developmental challenges.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"If we are to understand the impact of public policy on sustainable economic development and poverty reduction, we must likewise understand the structure of the economy and its institutions. The illustrious authors of this volume contribute to this mission by providing an integrated vision of an economy's natural resources, institutions of governance, and especially its agricultural and rural development.<b> --His Excellency Benigno S. Aquino III, President of Republic of the Philippines</b> </p><br>
