"For the populations of the developing economies - the vast majority of humanity - the present century offers the prospect of emulating Western standards of living. This hope is combined with increasing awareness of the environmental consequences of the very process of global industrialisation itself. This book explores the interactions between economic development and the physical environment in four regions of the developing world: Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Asia. The contributors focus on the 'Anthropocene': our present era, in which humanity's influence on the physical environment has begun to mark the geological record. Economic Development and Environmental History in the Anthropocene examines environmental changes at global level and human responses to environmental opportunities and constraints on more local and regional scales, themes which have been insufficiently studied to date. This volume fills this gap in the literature by combining historical, economic and geographical perspectives to consider the implications of the Anthropocene for economic development in Asia and Africa."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Depuis les débuts de l'époque industrielle, il y a deux cents ans, les activités humaines ont profondément modifié les cycles de la nature, d'où le terme d'Anthropocène pour qualifier la période contemporaine. Alors que les stocks de combustible s'épuisent, la dissipation exubérante d'énergie liée aux économies fondées sur la croissance touche à sa fin. Quelles en seront les répercussions politiques, économiques et sociales sur un système fondé sur une soif sans limites de ressources naturelles ? Ère d'accélération, l'Anthropocène brille de ses derniers feux. Le XXIe siècle sera celui de la « descente énergétique ». Face à cette rupture profonde dans l'histoire des temps, adopter un autre modèle que le productivisme s'impose d'urgence.
