Description

"Historians, geographers, economists, ecologists, business management experts, public policy specialists, and community organizers have come together in this volume to examine environmental issues ranging from national and regional policy and macroeconomics to local studies in community regeneration. The evidence suggests that, far from being mere passive recipients of instruction and assistance from outside, the people of Central and Eastern Europe have actively engaged in working out solutions. Several cases illustrate opportunities to overcome crisis situations and offer examples of good practices, while others pose warnings. The experiences of these countries in wrestling with issues of sustainability may serve also as examples for both developed and developing countries worldwide."--Jacket.

First Sentence
