	abstract = {<p>The premise of The Environment and Development in Africa is that current environmental problems in sub-Saharan Africa are an outcome of the continent{\textquoteright}s development activities. Whether these activities have generated economic growth and raised living standards or have led to growth without overall increases in living standards--or have even contributed to a decline in people{\textquoteright}s well-being--developments in that region have produced effects that have degraded Africa{\textquoteright}s environment in many ways. This book presents a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the context of the environmental issues facing sub-Saharan African states. Contributors discuss the problems associated with generating the capacity to manage Africa{\textquoteright}s environmental concerns; assess the impact of economic development efforts on the region{\textquoteright}s environment; and examine various societal and policy responses to environmental problems and to development problems linked to ecological decay. This is an important book for scholars and policy advisors concerned with African studies and global environmental issues.</p>},
