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.

Rezensionen

"We urgently needed a guide to sustainable development - one of the most widely-used and least-understood concepts in existence. Now we have one. Led by two of the most respected authorities in the field, the team of experts assembled here covers all the expected dimensions - and a few more besides. 'Indispensable' is a word frequently found on book dust covers - here it means what it says" -Andrew Dobson, Keele University, UK

"Sustainability refuses to be defined, or even stay put in the natural sciences. Rather, it has infected economic justice discourse, infused debates over how power works, wandered into our understanding of consumption and public health, and injected itself into governance dialog. Here is a handbook that documents the power of a rogue idea on how we think: across problems, locally and globally, present and future." -Richard B. Norgaard, University of California, Berkeley, USA

"With the emergence in 2015 of new global Sustainable Development Goals, we reach a new stage in the development of the idea and promise of sustainable development. Over the past 30 years, the concept has come to be anchored in key debates about growth, environment and equity. This Handbook, bringing together an illustrious group of experts, looks at how sustainable development discourses have emerged and changed over that period, and looks forward to new debates now unfolding. It provides an unparalleled, state-of-the-art overview." -Frans Berkhout, King's College London, UK

"This magisterial and comprehensive volume is indispensable reading for anyone wishing seriously to come to grips with the nature and scope of sustainable development. It covers the full range of issues one could immediately think of and many more besides." -David Lorimer

"I [...] like to recommend this book, at least to teacher educators and their students with an interest in sustainability issues. Routledge International Handbook in Sustainable Development is helpful regarding placing the sustainability problem in many different school subjects [...] I learned a lot through my reading. And I picked up some-for me-new terms that tease my mind" - Malin Ideland, Science & Education (2016)
