xxii, 284 p. : ill. ; 23 cm. Global population increase and production and consumption patterns and levels make the crucial issues first raised by Malthus two hundred years ago more important than ever. The position taken in this book is that the issues of population and its growth or decline cannot be separated from the whole set of questions of economic and social development, and from the environmental concerns related to the production and consumption of peoples throughout the whole of the world. Analysis must thus be made at the global, as well as at regional levels. 1. Population, Development, and Institutional Change: Summary and Analysis / Tommy Bengtsson and Christer Gunnarsson -- 2.
