Environment and Industry in Developing Countries Assessing the Adoption of Environmentally Sound Technology

'This impressive study compares the adoption of environmentally sound technology in industrial sectors in nine developing countries. In combining a variety of quantitative and qualitative methodologies on rich empirical data the authors open the technological change black box" and are able to formulate clear conclusions on the drivers and barriers for technological change. A major contribution to better understanding and governing environmentally-sound technological change.' - Arthur P.J. Mol, Wageningen University, The Netherlands "'All theory is gray, but the golden tree of life springs ever green", says Goethe. This book is very green (that is empirical) about a green topic: the adoption of environmentally sound technologies in developing countries, using triangulation for assessing the factors behind such choices. A very nice study on an important topic.' - Rene Kemp UNU-MERIT, Maastricht, The Netherlands"
