ISBN: 9781138184237 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Economic Policies for Sustainable Development
ISBN: 9789401043588 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 333 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book focuses on describing policy instruments in different countries. Its purpose is not only descriptive but also, to some extent, advocatory. We believe that economic instruments can make an important contribution to an environmentally less disruptive path of development. The design of economic instruments is however a fine art and depends among other things on their political acceptability and this acceptability is of course influenced by experience. It is therefore important to provide information on the use of policy instruments in other countries. Policies are currently developing...
