This book collects
the papers presented to a Congress held in Milan in March 1988
on the theme
"Economy and Ecology", and promoted by
the past Minister of the Environment Hon. Giorgio Ruffolo.
The editors of this volume, Franco Archibugi and Peter Nijkamp, to
whom the scientific responsibility
for
the Congress of Milan
has been committed, have selected a certain number of the scientific papers presented to the Congress
in order to publish this volume for Kluwer Academic Press. The essays were
collected at a
crucial moment in the history of world
environmentalism,
as
the next day the well-known
Bruntland Report was released by
the United Nations Environment and Development
Commission.
Being
before the Rio de Janeiro Conference, these essays
have
been successfully
received by the public as one of the first attempts on the theme of the integration between economic and
environment policies.
