Description: Two decades after the Brundtland Commission's Report 'Our Common Future' adopted the concept of 'sustainable development', this book explores the potential for new practices for those involved in sustainability activity. Themes addressed include the provision of a 'next generation perspective', and the provision of new milestones for policy and research. The material covered here offers varied perspectives on sustainability, and reflects the importance of interdisciplinary work in the field.
Review Quotes: 'The authors approach sustainable development from the perspective of critical social theory. Their focus on the political dimension of environmental issues tends to be neglected in both the academic and popular literature on these matters, and, as such, they provide a range of valuable insights that can be of interest to a wide audience of academics and activists.'
