Theories of Sustainable Development

<p>The book presents a social sciences' perspective on sustainable development contributing thus to transdisciplinary sustainability research which means that it is oriented toward current problems and not toward the established academic boundaries. The key aspect here is not the natural-scientific but rather the humanistic aspect. This book advocates viewing sustainable development not only as the establishment of a permanent globally practicable and future-capable mode of life and economics but rather as a complex array of problems involving a wide range of social-scientific and humanistic disciplines - law political science sociology economics theology psychology philosophy.</p>
