This book is an original study of the challenge of implementing
sustainable development in Western democracies. It highlights the
obstacles which sustainable development presents for strategic
governance and critically examines how these problems can best be
overcome in a variety of different political contexts.The renowned
international contributors, including leading policy experts, try
to identify the forms of governance necessary to realize the
functions of sustainable development. With the help of detailed
case studies, they document and analyze specific governance
mechanisms for pursuing and achieving this aim. They move on to
offer clearly formulated conclusions on the relationship between
the demands of sustainable development and the current norms and
practices of Western democracy. The book also raises the
fundamental question of whether change can ever be achieved if the
overriding goal of development is not firmly stated as
'sustainability' rather than 'business as usual'. This book offers
a balanced focus on the difficulties and successes of promoting
sustainable development through strategic governance. It will be of
particular relevance to those interested in the institutional
mechanisms of governance and policy implementation. The book will
also appeal to scholars and students of political science,
organizational studies and business administration, and
policymakers and NGOs directly involved in the task of implementing
sustainable development.
