Produktbeschreibung

"This book makes its point--a significant one about the relevance of participatory democracy to the issue of environmental sustainability--straightforwardly and without mincing words. It accomplishes the difficult task of both crystallizing and advancing the debate across the fields of democratic theory and environmental politics."--Albert R. Matheny, University of Florida
