Synopsis

This book focuses on three critical issues pertaining to the broader goal of sustainable development - namely, the degenerative forces of globalization, ecological sustainability requirements, and how best to negotiate the economic transition process.

While the applicability of ecological sustainability to sustainable development is obvious, the association between economic transition and sustainable development, and, more particularly, how globalization forces can impact negatively on the sustainable development process, is poorly understood. Philip Lawn brings together some of the leading practitioners in the field of sustainable development to discuss these issues and to outline ways to achieve sustainable development without the perceived need for continuous growth. The book culminates with a number of policy recommendations and institutional modifications to assist nations and the global community to achieve sustainable development.

This book will prove invaluable for academics and researchers in ecological, environmental and natural resource economics as well as sustainable development, globalization and international trade. Practitioners and policy-makers at all levels will find this resource both interesting and instrumental to their work.
