‘The book comprehensively examines the UN programmes and policies on environmental governance and how have they given impetus to the idea of sustainable development as well as economic well-being of the South Asian countries. It is a must-read book for those who are interested in working on environmental issues in South Asia in general and India in particular.’
Sangit Kumar Ragi, Professor, University of Delhi, India
‘At a very critical temporal juncture when the vengeful demi gods of neoliberal capitalism are reaching the stage of self-actualization, regarding the apocalyptical consequences of the age of high mass consumption. This book engages in the task of epistemic emendation of the literature on the critique of neoliberal institutionalism and global cosmopolitanism.’
Sanjeev Kumar H.M., Professor, University of Delhi, India
