Humans in the Landscape
This is the first textbook to fully synthesize all key disciplines of environmental studies. Humans in the Landscape draws on the biophysical sciences, social sciences, and humanities to explore the interactions between cultures and environments over time, and discusses classic environmental problems in the context of the overarching conflicts and frameworks that motivate them.
Defining Sustainability
The rising stature of sustainable development constitutes an important and evolving challenge for natural resource and environmental economics. Is sustainability best achieved through the use and extension of conventional criteria for optimal resource allocation? Or does the concept involve a more substantial shift beyond methods such as present-value maximization and nonmarket valuation? At the heart of this challenge lie questions concerning the precise meaning that should be attached to the phrase “sustainable development,” and how this concept may be operationalized in economic theory and applied policy analysis.
Deliberative Ecological Economics
Founded on the idea that democracy and value diversity realized through debate are essential for the pursuit of an authentic conception of sustainable development, this volume explores both novel and established means by which economics can combine with deliberative decision-making processes to generate shared and solid visions of sustainability. Contributed by specialists from all over the world, the volume deals with three broad themes. The first part focuses on the use of deliberative processes in ecological–economic analyses of environmental decision making. The second part considers links between deliberation and the politics of sustainable development. And the third part further develops theoretical aspects in deliberative ecological economics. With case studies on ecological management from countries as far apart as Namibia in Southern Africa to New South Wales in Australia, this volume advances ways of generating shared visions of sustainability.
