Under these criteria, a nation that manages its natural wealth intelligently may actually increase its net natural assets. Namibia?s wildlife reserves have an ongoing and evolving value far in excess of their commodity value as a source of meat, or even of ivory. Thus, this volume assesses how effectively polities in southern and eastern Africa have implemented the more complex set of metrics that make up the UN?s Integrated System of Environmental and Economic Accounts (SEEA), which replaced the former System of National Accounts?a measure of production alone. Leaving aside human and social capital for a future volume, the book should be viewed as a crucial first step in developing indicators for total wealth in the countries covered by the case studies, which include Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Mozambique and South Africa. These case studies experiment with implementing the SEAA in sub-Saharan nations known to suffer from the ?resource curse?: their wealth in resources and commodities has allowed inflows of liquidity, yet this cash has not funded crucial developments in infrastructure or education. What?s more, resource-driven economies are highly vulnerable to commodity price mutability. The new measures of wealth deployed here offer more hope for the future in these countries than they themselves would once have allowed for. 410 0$aEco-Efficiency in Industry and Science,$x1389-6970 ;$v28 606 $aSocial capital (Sociology) 615 0$aSocial capital (Sociology) 676 $a344.67 676 $a344.67046 701 $aHassan$b Rashid M$01756381 701 $aMungatana$b Eric D$01756382 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437786703321 996 $aImplementing environmental accounts$94193626 997 $aUNINA
