The editors of this volume bring together an impressive cast of
scholars on the critical relationship of democracy and governance
in sustainable development. It offers an outstanding and timely
contribution to the literatures in sustainability, political
science, and comparative environmental politics.' - Daniel J.
Fiorino, American University, US'This very timely and important
collection draws together some of the world's leading thinkers on
environment and development to debate one of the most important
issues of our time: sustainable development. They very usefully
remind us all that in order to be politically sustainable, the
sustainability transition will have to find a way to maximise
policy synergies in a democratically legitimate manner.' - Andy
Jordan, University of East Anglia, UK This insightful book deals
with governance of the environment and sustainable development. The
contributors explore the difficulties developed countries are
experiencing in coming to terms with environmental limits and the
resultant challenges to the democratic polity. They engage with
different dimensions of the governance challenge including norms,
public attitudes, citizen engagement, political conflict, policy
design, and implementation, and with a range of environmental
problems such as climate change, biodiversity/nature protection,
and water management. The book concludes with an essay by William
Lafferty that explores the flawed character of the contemporary
democratic polity and offers his reflections on possible pathways
to reform. This book will interest researchers, academics, and
graduate students in environmental politics and public policy. It
is ideal for use as supplementary reading in a wide range of
university courses, while NGOs and policy-makers will also find it
of considerable value. Contributors: C. Aall, S. Baker, E. Bomberg,
