This handbook provides comprehensive and critical coverage of the
dynamic and complex relationship between democracy and
sustainability in contemporary theory, discourse, and practice.
Distinguished scholars from different disciplines, such as
political science, sociology, philosophy, international relations,
look at the present state of this relationship, asking how it has
evolved and where it is likely to go in the future. They examine
compatibilities and tensions, continuities and changes, as well as
challenges and potentials across theoretical, empirical and
practical contexts. This wide-spanning collection brings together
multiple established and emerging viewpoints on the debate between
democracy and sustainability which have, until now, been fragmented
and diffuse. It comprises diverse theoretical and methodological
perspectives discussing democracy's role in, and potential for,
coping with environmental issues at the local and global scales.
This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of arguments,
claims, questions, and insights that are put forward regarding the
relationship between democracy and sustainability. In the process,
it not only consolidates and condenses, but also broadens and
captures the many nuances of the debate. By showing how
theoretical, empirical and practical accounts are interrelated,
focusing on diverse problem areas and spheres of action, it serves
as a knowledge source for professionals who seek to develop action
strategies that do justice to both sustainability and democracy, as
well as providing a valuable reference for academic researchers,
lecturers and students.
