Publications

  • Sustainable Development versus Economic Growth: A Case Study on Natural Disaster in Nicaragua

    Journal of Environment & Development

    In October 1998, Hurricane Mitch had a severe impact on Nicaragua's economic and environmental development. Although Nicaragua has instituted many economic policies at the request of international lending institutions, the positive implications of these programs were reversed by the impact of the storm. A more sustainable development program must include social and environmental factors as well as economic measures to reduce this risk and move the Nicaraguan economy forward.
