By now, most people in the ecological and environmental fields have
heard of sustainable development, but how many know how we go about
getting there, and if we are achieving it? By synthesizing the many
disparate elements of the field of Ecological Economics, Toward
Sustainable Development: An Ecological Economics Approach combines
analysis, theory, and empiricism to answer the whats, whys, and
hows of moving towards sustainable development. Since the
ecological economics approach to sustainable development is still a
relatively new paradigm, its long-term success rests heavily on the
formalized establishment of the most basic and fundamental
principles. This volume discusses the formation of these principles
and their implementation in the real world. Lawn establishes the
ground-rules by showing that development need not be achieved at
the expense of ecological sustainability. He presents the tools,
guidelines, and conceptual framework necessary to move toward
sustainable development. Filled with figures, tables, and
illustrations, Toward Sustainable Development: An Ecological
Economics Approach systematically develops a conceptual framework
from which to design workable policies. The author shows that
development and ecological sustainability don't have to be
trade-offs but can be complimentary and outlines a range of
economic and non-economic indicators to measure performance.
