This book explores the evolution of Environmental Assessment (EA) procedures in developing and transitional countries since the 1980s. It is divided into two parts: the first covers EA principles and practices across six regions, while the second presents country studies from Chile, Indonesia, Russia, and others, along with institutional reviews.

Drawing on extensive interviews and archival research, this biography uncovers the motivations and ideals that informed Smiley’s commitment to covert action and intelligence during the Second World War and early part of the Cold War, often among tribally based societies. With particular reference to operations in Albania, Oman and Yemen, it addresses the wider issues of accountability and control of clandestine operations.
