Behind the public's hope of effective action by governments on
environmental issues lies a complex terrain of conceptual
confusion, conflicts of interest and philosophical dispute. This is
why some of the world's leading environmental thinkers have come
together in this volume to probe critically the new language being
developed by environmental professionals. They examine the
contradictions inherent in the fashionable notion of sustainable
development. They explore the emerging conflicts over the
distribution of environmental risks between North and South. And
they warn that 'global ecology' seen in a managerial perspective,
may degenerate into an effor to redesign and manage Nature in order
to keep economic growth going in the face of a rising tide of
resource plunder and pollution. This book seeks to launch a
critical debate in order to clarify the issues involves and what
might constitute appropriate action.
