Synopsis

Currently, developing countries seeking to maintain a sustained long-term growth is a key factor in increasing the welfare of their populations. Topics such as health, violence and the environment are decisive factors for strengthening human development and achieving sustainable development in these countries that have a variety of resources, accompanied by problems with corruption and governance. It is for this reason that this book, which focuses on health, violence, the environment and human development from the different perspectives of these countries, is integral for furthering a well-rounded discussion of this topic. Hence, the book combines different scientific approaches for enhancing our understanding of human development by analysing health, violence and the environment in several developing countries. This text will be essential for anyone that is interested in strengthening human development in developing countries and formulating new strategies for improving health and sustainability development, while decreasing violence and urbanisation problems.
