Nuclear Power, Economic Development Discourse and the Environment The Case of India
Biography
Manu V. Mathai is a Research Fellow with the Science and Technology for Sustainable Societies Program at the United Nations University Institute for Advanced Studies, Japan.
"The book focuses on India's electricity services as it calls into question whether nuclear energy and its logical offshoots are fundamentally compatible with ‘addressing the environmental crisis on a finite, inequitable and shared planet’." – Joel Krupa, Energy Policy
"This is a thoughtful book that deserves to be read carefully and its insights and warnings taken to heart." – Growth and Sustainability, Itty Abraham, National University of Singapore, Singapore
"If Dr. Mathai is correct in his assessment of the Indian people and their deeply shared commitment to diversity, democracy and social innovation, an optimistic outcome of his research will be that the general population of India will soon awaken to the energy alternatives available to them and catalyze the needed changes from the bottom-up for themselves." – Journal of Cleaner Production, Carole Beckham, CSU Dominguez Hills, USA
