Challenging Consumption - Pathways to a more Sustainable Future (Paperback): Anna R. Davies, Frances Fahy, Henrike Rau Challenging Consumption - Pathways to a more Sustainable Future (Paperback)
Anna R. Davies, Frances Fahy, Henrike Rau
R1,409 Discovery Miles 14 090 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Sustainable consumption is a central research topic in academic discourses of sustainable development and global environmental change. Informed by a number of disciplinary perspectives, this book is structured around four key themes in sustainable consumption research: Living, Moving, Dwelling and Futures. The collection successfully balances theoretical insights with grounded case studies, on mobility, heating, washing and eating practices, and concludes by exploring future sustainable consumption research pathways and policy recommendations. Theoretical frameworks are advanced throughout the volume, especially in relation to social practice theory, theories of behavioural change and innovative visioning and backcasting methodologies. This groundbreaking book draws on some conceptual approaches which move beyond the responsibility of the individual consumer to take into account wider social, economic and political structures and processes in order to highlight both possibilities for and challenges to sustainable consumption. This approach enables students and policy-makers alike to easily recognise the applicability of social science theories.

The Geographies of Garbage Governance - Interventions, Interactions and Outcomes (Paperback): Anna R. Davies The Geographies of Garbage Governance - Interventions, Interactions and Outcomes (Paperback)
Anna R. Davies
R1,592 Discovery Miles 15 920 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Previously perceived as a local, technical issue for governments, waste management is now also a global, socio-political process involving complex patterns of multi-level governance. Yet these geographical complexities have not previously been considered in any detail. This book examines the neglected geographies of waste management, in particular, the integral processes of trans-localization and politicization that are emerging in waste networks. Illustrated by in-depth case studies from New Zealand and Ireland, it critically analyzes the interaction between political scales of governing waste, from the local to the supra-national level. It also looks at the impact of wider systems of governance, civil society and the private sector on waste management policy and practices. In doing so, the book provides a better understanding of waste governance and recommendations for better management of the waste sector in the future.
