The 1970’s witnessed widespread recognition of the world as a single, interconnecting whole. The 1980’s have shown that this whole is not operating as a self-sustaining system. In short we appear to live in a world in crisis- manifesting itself in hunger, poverty, debt, conflict, statelessness and war, as well as in the accelerating degradation of the natural environment. <p>The geographical perspectives of <i>World in Crisis</i>? – in this completely revised and updated edition – show the interlinking nature of global, regional, and local problems and, further, that these are not uniquely economic, ecological, political or social, but all these and more.</p>
