Such an analysis would provide a framework for integrating the proposed solutions by engineers, economists, futurists, and other professionals who have taken global and future-oriented views of the environmental issues. As an example, an initial framework for policy research on population and environment is proposed. Arnold J. Toynbee, <i>Change and Habit</i>, Oxford University Press, 1966.
