"The Politics of Sustainable Development" analyzes how the theory
of sustainable development has been related to the practice and how
it has been applied within Europe at all levels of government from
the EU down to the sub-national local level.
The essays included here begin with an analysis of the ambiguities
inherent in sustainable development and the contestable nature of
the concept. The contributors explore how far it is possible to
reconcile economic growth with environmental needs, asking whether
sustainable development can promote equity and development. The
book breaks fresh ground in assessing the impact of deep ecological
thought on sustainable development as part of a new typology of the
concept.
The second section examines how sustainable development has been
interpreted at EU and sub-national levels within the member states,
with examples drawn from the Mediterranean and Northern European
countries. Contrasting interpretations of sustainable development
are examined, considering political and administrative conflicts,
the influence of cultural factors, and tensions between different
levels of government. The ambiguity of sustainable development has
led to extensive confusion and created the need for a clearer
consensus among policy-makers as to how the concept should be
interpreted.
