Population-development-environment in Namibia. Background Readings.

The text contains fifteen in-depth case studies that showcase various aspects of the interrelationships between population change, the environment and development in Namibia. In addition, the book lays the foundation for development of a scientific model to help scholars assess scenarios and policies regarding sustainable human development in Namibia and in other developing countries. The papers included in the text are the result of workshops held at IIASA in 1997 and in 1998, augmented with meetings in Namibia, and close collaboration with the University of Namibia Multidisciplinary Research and Consultancy Centre.
