In a globalized world economy, delivering the aspirations of
sustainability is proving to be difficult. Progress is held back by
competing objectives within a complex interplay of factors. Finding
solutions to the 'wicked problem' of sustainability seems to be
beyond the reach of policy makers. Even if the political will can
be found to deal with the prime challenges of the twenty-first
century, ranging from climate change and resource depletion to
persistent poverty and increasing inequity, what is to be done in
terms of real-world policy is far from clear. Do we need more
globalization; or has economic globalization gone too far in
growing a global economy which will strip the planet bare? This
book reports twin-track research which interweaves the intellectual
argument over the future of the world economy intertwined with
empirical research into the challenge of sustainability in
aviation. Discussing the prime challenges of this century through
the lens of the intractable policy stalemate in aviation, this book
leads the reader to the identification of a new way forward.
Whether the political will is forthcoming will continue to be
subject to debate, but we now have a clear exposition of how to
address the problem. The new paradigm presented in this book opens
the way to considering radical transformations to make real
progress with the sustainability agenda.
