Sustainable development and environmental improvement are often regarded as intrinsically valuable a priori. As a result, the policies by which these goals are to be attained is often inadequately scrutinised. In this book, ecological economics addresses the institutional and policymaking aspects of environmental problems, thus covering a broad socioeconomic research agenda, in contradistinction to mainstream economic approaches. The approach advocated here is open to differing viewpoints on the same issue, sees conflict resolution as a social process, and accepts the need for research into political-economic issues, according a prominent position to the aims of society itself. An in-depth analysis of the policy process is followed in order to understand the pitfalls and barriers that will confront society on the road to sustainable development. Readership: The broad approach advocated will appeal to all involved in environmental problems - decision makers, NGO members, and academic scholars.

This book analyzes the development of economic events in Japan, China, the NICs, Russia, Germany, Britain, and the United States of America during the second half of the twentieth century in an effort to uncover the variables that were determinant for the generation of economic growth. After analyzing numerous economic and non-economic variables, the author manages to identify a common denominator that was always present when there was growth and absent when there was stagnation. A strong causality linkage is established between this common denominator and growth. The book also demonstrates how this common set of variables can be easily manipulated by government policy in order to deliver fast and sustained economic growth. The book concludes with a clear set of macroeconomic policies for the attainment of fast, non-inflationary growth in developing countries, middle-income nations, transition economies, and developed countries. Despite its unorthodox position, the book endorses free trade, privatization, liberalization, fiscal rectitude, low inflation, central bank independence, proper governance, protection of the environment, and better income distribution. With this approach, the book offers a fresh new look on the problem of growth and offers hope that economic science will finally provide governments with an effective policy tool for the elimination of poverty and unemployment.

Depuis ses débuts, l’Organisation des Nations Unies a publié une série de principes et recommandations internationaux concernant les recensements de la population et des logements, afin d’aider les bureaux nationaux de statistique et les responsables du recensement dans le monde entier à planifier et effectuer des recensements de qualité et rentables. La première série de principes et recommandations concernant les recensements de la population et des logements a été publiée en 1958 à la demande de la Commission de statistique de l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour répondre à la nécessité d’élaborer des normes internationales et en tant que fondement du premier Programme mondial de recensements de la population et des logements. Bien que ces recommandations aient évolué avec le temps pour se conformer aux pratiques actuelles et aux besoins nationaux, elles fournissent en général des orientations sur les principales caractéristiques des recensements de la population et des logements, des renseignements généraux sur les activités de recensement, des méthodes et des conseils plus précis sur le contenu des recensements. Cette présente révision a été conçue afin d’aider à effectuer la série de recensements de la population et des logements de 2020.

In addition, a number of articles on topics of general interest are included in each volume. A general index by subject and name, and a cumulative index of all the articles which have appeared in the "Yearbook," are included in every volume and provide direct access to the "Yearbook"'s subject matter.
