Towards a Better Understanding of Sustainability Accounting, Management and Policy Research and Practice in North America (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Our original idea for this ebook was to bring under the spotlight the North American [1] sustainability accounting and management research context. Just as France provided a unique setting to explore (Gibassier et al., 2018), North America has its own particularities. For example, within the USA, there is tremendous tension between various levels of government and society, characterized by opposed views on a plethora of social and environmental issues. Canada seems to be going its own direction on many things (e.g. legalization of cannabis and carbon taxes), but at the same time is in lockstep with many of the individual states within the USA. Mexico faces the massive issues of migration and the "e;wall"e;, while in the Caribbean and other parts of the continent development issues and extreme poverty exist in relatively close proximity to the world of tax avoidance and evasion. There have been recent changes in North America in sustainability accounting and management (Camilleri, 2017; Cho et al., 2014; McElroy and Thomas, 2015; Ramsden et al., 2014) and we can expect more in the near to medium term. Altogether, this context points towards rich research opportunities to develop our understanding of social and environmental accounting and management.
