Produktbeschreibung

This Handbook provides a comprehensive, international and cutting-edge overview of Sustainable Development. It integrates the key dimensions of sustainable development, (institutional, environmental, social and economic), with calls for greater participation, social cohesion, justice and democracy. Each chapter underlines the need for discursive interdisciplinarity, which is key to the book's theorization of the concept. The book is also unusual in including indigenous perspectives and alternative worldviews.
