Sustainable Development de Susan Baker

Sustainable Development: Routledge Introductions to Environment: Environment and Society Texts

Autor Susan Baker
en Limba Engleză Paperback – sep 2015
This concise and accessible text explores how the international community is responding to the challenge of sustainable development. It also investigates the prospect for and barriers to the promotion of sustainable development in the high consumption societies of the industrialised world, including the USA and the EU, the Third World and the economies of transition in East and Central Europe. The book considers the global impact of China’s industrial boom as well as how Chinese investments are shaping the prospects for sustainable development on the African continent. This global coverage is balanced by investigating how local action, ranging from the transition towns movement in the UK to the Green Belt movement in Kenya, can contribute to the pursuit of sustainable development.

Recenzii

"The second edition brings scholarly and pedagogic clarity to the complex and contested problematique of sustainable development. Baker offers a analysis of the origins, dynamics, actors, governance dimensions, policy implications and theoretical debates around this concept which as she points out is and will continue to shape local and global politics in the 21st-century. It is written in an accessible and student-friendly style, in three parts covering theoretical/conceptual aspects of sustainable development; multi-level governance, including the international politics of sustainable development; and finally the promotion of sustainable development in the EU, eastern Europe and the global south. Baker's Sustainable Development will be the benchmark textbook on undergraduate courses for many years to come".
Professor John Barry, School of Politics, International Studies and Philosophy, Queen's University Belfast 
For those seeking a clear, comprehensive and accessible introduction to sustainable development, look no further.
