Each of these lectures is classified into one of the keywords for SDGs and based on law, economics, management, international trade, input–output analysis, or agricultural and urban engineering. Further, each lecture delineates the essence of each discipline when it is practically applied to development studies.

This open access handbook, Ten Crises systematically traces the economic history
of China from 1949 to 2020, unravelling the complex domestic and global factors
leading to the cyclical crises identified by WEN and his research team, and

contemplates opportunities and lessons for the forging of alternative trajectories
not only for China but also for the global south: to reconstruct rural communities
for integrated cooperation and governance, and to revitalize ecological civilization. |
This book presents methods to evaluate sustainable development using economic tools. The focus on sustainable development takes the reader beyond economic growth to encompass inclusion, environmental stewardship and good governance.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a framework for outcomes. In illustrating the SDGs, the book employs three evaluation approaches: impact evaluation, cost-benefit analysis and objectives-based evaluation.
The innovation lies in connecting evaluation tools with economics. Inclusion, environmental care and good governance, thought of as “wicked problems”, are given centre stage. The book uses case studies to show the application of evaluation tools. It offers guidance to evaluation practitioners, students of development and policymaker... |
