This book deals with the issue of sustainable development in a
novel and innovative way. It examines the governance implications
of reflexive modernisation - the condition that societal
development is endangered by its own side-effects. With
conceptualising reflexive governance the book leads a way out of
endless quarrels about the definition of sustainability and into a
new mode of collective action. The authors assert that
sustainability is not a defined end-state, but should be understood
as the capacity of society to learn about the conditions of its
future existence and wants. This requires, in their view, a
specific kind of problem solving framework which emphasises the
interlinkage of problems and scales, as well as long-term and
indirect effects of various actions. Sustainability calls for new
forms of governance with attention given to uncertainty,
ambivalence about multiple goals and distributed power. The book
develops an alternative framework with which to address the
challenge of sustainability and derives a set of strategy elements
for dealing with sustainability in practice. These are discussed
from conceptual as well as practical perspectives. Bringing recent
insights from innovation research, governance studies and
complexity theory in common focus, Reflexive Governance for
Sustainable Development will be of great interest to researchers in
social change, innovation and governance studies, as well as
policymakers confronted with sustainable development issues.
