Recenzii
"Carls and Haffar describe the efforts to mediate between the local and national interests of the government of Costa Rica, the indigenous people, and the World Bank and other potential financing institutions, regarding construction of the hydroelectric dam in southern Costa Rica. The study was conducted as a learning tool for students in the two universities. It covers energy production and needs in developing countries, the Boruca project itself, rethinking project design, and regional development implications in the south of Costa Rica. The conflict primarily involved environmental degradation and loss of human rights, they conclude, and was resolved by listening carefully to stakeholder positions, interests, fears, and needs. They also argue that the resolution could have been earlier and easier if an adequate discussion forum had been available from the start." -Eithne O'Leyne, BOOK NEWS, Inc.
