Reviews

'This compact but incredibly rich volume provides a comprehensive and sophisticated analysis of the challenges and the opportunities that lie ahead of us in making the world 'greener' while promoting socio-economic development in developing countries. The vision is panoramic - not just energy transition but a whole array of ecologically-minded transformations are discussed - and the analytical framework holistic - the volume is not just about the economics of 'green' industrial policy and financing but about conflict management, coalition building, and social development. This is a 'transformative' book that will completely change your understanding of the 'green transformation' agenda.' Ha-Joon Chang, SOAS University of London, author of Kicking Away the Ladder and Edible Economics 'What makes this book unique, among those that deal with the need for the green transition, is that it looks at reality in the face and dares to enter into the hurdles and complexities of the political decisions required for green transitions, clearly explaining why state action is indispensable. Definitely worth reading!' Carlota Perez, Author of Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital: The dynamics of bubbles and Golden Ages 'Turning 'green growth' from a slogan into a practical policy agenda will require tough choices. This short book by Amir Lebdioui provides an excellent, evidence-based guide to what needs to be done.' Dani Rodrik, Ford Foundation Professor of International Political Economy at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. 'By clearly laying out not only the opportunities of decarbonization but also the risks, this notable addition to the global discourse illustrates how policymakers can drive forward climate and environmental objectives without sacrificing local development priorities.' Achim Steiner, Administrator, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
