Welcome
to my website. I am delighted that you have taken the time to visit the
site and to examine my research, teaching, outreach and administrative
activities. Although the links to the bio-sketch, curriculum vitae, photo
galleries and travel summaries give detail perspectives of all the activities,
I would like to inform visitors to the website that my research continues
to be pivoted on sustainability and sustainable development of the emerging
nations of the world especially the countries of Africa. I have continued
to pay particular attention to the expansion of the discussion on environmental
principles. The field work and investigations which I conduct within the
United States and outside of the United States inform my teaching and
lectures on the principles of environmental policy. My writings and edited
works attempt to shed some light on the following principles: the environmental
development principle, prevention principle, precautionary principle,
the polluter pays principle and the proximity principle.
I must take this opportunity to ask you to examine the articles in the
Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa (JSDA) which has interesting
and thought provoking articles on Africa’s development concerns.
Thank you for spending some of your valuable time at this website.
Sincerely Yours,
Valentine U. James
