| Samenvatting |
Né après la 2ième guerre mondiale dan la contexte de la guerre froide, le concept de développement se trouve aujourd'hui confronté aux mutations de l'économie mondiale, notamment illustrées par l'émergence de nouvelles puissances du Sud et par une succession des crises globales. Un demi-siècle plus tard, les politques de développement reposent en partie sur les fondements devenus obsolètes et doivent s'adapter à l'évolution des relations internationales. Cet ouvrage a pour but de décriser les mutations de l'économie mondiale et des relations internationales, leur impact sur les relations Nord-Sud et les défis qu'elles impliquent en matières de politique de développement. Après avoir décrit l'émergence d'un monde multipolaire et l'impact des différentes crises globales sur les pays en développement -crise financière et économique, crise sociale, crise alimentaire, crise climatique, crise de sens- cet ouvrage propose des pistes alternatives en vue de refonder les politiques de développement. |

| Samenvatting |
This report provides a critical assessment of adaptation costs and benefits in key climate sensitive sectors, as well as at national and global levels. It also moves the discussion beyond cost estimation to the potential and limits of economic and policy instruments- including insurance and risk sharing, environmental markets and pricing, and public private partnership- that can be used to motivate adaption actions. |

| Samenvatting |
Against the background of a projected doubling of world greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century, this book explores feasible ways to abate them at least cost. Through quantitative analysis, it adresses key climate policy issues: 1. What would an ideal set of climate policy tools look like? 2. How large are the economic and environmental costs of incomplete country or sector coverage of climate change mitigation policies? 3 How can we concretely develop a global carbon market? 4 What is the case for, and what can we reasonably expect from R&D and technology support policies? 5 How great are the incentives for major emitting countries to join a climate change mitigation agreement, in terms of the costs and benefits of action? |

| Samenvatting |
En ces premières années du XXIe siècle, le monde présente de nombreux signes de dérèglement. Dérèglement intelletuel, caractérisé par un déchaînement des affirmations identitaires qui rend difficiles toute coexistance harmonieuse et tout veritable débat. Dérèglement économique et financier, qui entraîne la planète entière dans une zone de turbulences aux conséquences imprévisibles, et qui est lui-même le symptome d'une perturbation de notre système de valeurs. Dérèglement climatique, qui résulte d'une longue pratique de l' irresponsabilité. Maalouf cherche à comprender comment on en est arrivé là et comment on pourrait s'en sortir. |

| Samenvatting |
As negociations proceed for the post-Kyoto climate change regime, major obstacles stand in the path to their succesful completion. This book addresses the political economy of the climate change debate, questioning the disconnect between the current negotiation framework, based around the nation-state, and the neoliberal policies driving the world economy, organized around transnational corporations. Given the expanding carbon footprint of China, India and other developing economies, the debate over who is to blame and who should pay can no longer be ignored. |

| Uitgever(s) |
London, New York, Zed Books, 2009, 160 p., ISBN 978-1-84813-038-8 |
| Samenvatting |
According to many economists climate change is a moderately important problem: de best policy is a slow gradual start to avoid spending too much. Ackerman offers a fresh look at economics of climat change and explains how arbitrary assumptions of conventional theories get in the way to understand the urgency of the problem. The benefits of climate protection are vital but priceless, and hence often devalued in cost-benefit calculation. |

Trickell presents a original solution. The funds generated from a system of finite production rights for greenhouse gases, which would be traded on a global auction, could be poured back into healing the wounds inflicted by climate change. In this combination Trickell envisions a fairer and more effective system. |

| Samenvatting |
Hoe kunnen we ontsnappen aan desastreuze bedreigingen die het gevolg zijn van overbevolking van onze planeet? Sachs stelt dat een koerswijziging van levensbelang is in de vorm van een mondiaal, milieubewust economisch model. Een nieuw tijdperk van internationale samenwerking staat voor de deur: regeringen, ondernemingen én bevolkingsgroepen kunnen zich verenigen en samenwerken om iedereen op aarde de kans te geven in vrede en welvaart te leven. Een haalbaar doel volgens Sachs maar met onze huidige economische denkwijze bereiken we dat niet. |

Sachs, author of 'The End of Poverty' analyses a cascading threats to global well-being -the most significant being environmental degradation and rapid population growth- bear down upon our increasingly crowded planet.

| Samenvatting |
Climate change poses a serious challenge to social and economic development. How development occures also has implications for climate change itself and her vulnerability of societies to its impacts. Therefore, we clearly need to place climate change and its impacts into the mainstream of our economic policies, development projects, and international aid efforts. Bridging the gap between the climate change and development communities, however, requires more than a simple dialogue. This is because the two communities have different priorities, often operate on different time and space scales, and do not necessarily speak the same language. |

London, Pluto Press, 2005, 214 p., ISBN 0-7453-2404-5 |
| Samenvatting |
Simms shows how millions of us in the West are running up huge ecological debts: from global warming due to oil and coal that we burn, to the products we consume and the waste we create , the impact of our lifestyles is felt worldwide. Whilst these debts go unpaid, millions more living in poverty in the majority world suffer the burden of paying dubious foreign financial debts. This book explores a great paradox of our age: how the global wealth gap was built on ecological debts, which the world's poorest are now having to pay for. |

The Intergovernemental Panel on Climate Change Reports show that climate change is likely to have significant development consequences for all, but developing countries and the poor within these countries will be disproportionaly affected including impacts on agriculture, health and water. As the largest source of employment in the most developing countries, impact on agriculture and food security are especially critical. |
