As the destructive consequences of environmental problems such as global warming, water scarcity and resource and biodiversity destruction have been felt ever more heavily, people are becoming more aware of the importance of and their responsibilities towards environmental protection. The causes of our problems are anthropogenic. The number of people working in what might be termed "environmental industries" or with environmental responsibilities in their day-to-day work has mushroomed.

The need to h...
Hervorgegangen aus dem Forschungsprojekt "Saisir l'Europe - Europa als Herausforderung" versammeln diese Bände Beiträge in deutscher und französischer Sprache zu Konzepten der Nachhaltigkeit und der ökologischen Transition.

Der zweite Band umfasst Analysen politischer, ökonomischer und sozialer Fragen, die bei der Formulierung und Umsetzung von Zielen des Umweltschutzes, der Nachhaltigkeit und der ökologischen Transition eine zentrale Rolle spielen. Hier werden auch wichtige Akteure, ihre Initiativen und Praktiken vorgestellt.

The search for ‘the Decent Society’ – a fit place in which to live – has informed policy at both governmental and international level. This book analyses its nature and devises a consistent way of measuring the concept world-wide on the basis of a coherent theory of agency within social structure. Influenced by classical sociology and by the economist Amartya Sen, the book posits that societies need to create (a) economic security, (b) social cohesion, (c) social inclusion, and (d) the conditions for empowerment. The model is interactive and recursive; each component provides the requirements for each of the others. This book outlines the sociopolitical framework underlying ’the De...
