This book presents an interdisciplinary perspective on the
possibility of creating a sustainable path of economic development
which would not harm the natural environment. It presents concepts,
theories, methods and policy advice on sustainability and debates
the difficulty in establishing a general notion of sustainability.
The authors draw on a number of different disciplines to address
the formulation of public policy for sustainable development in
Brazil. They analyse the basic principles and motivations for
sustainability, provide practical advice on how to coordinate
public policies and indicate possible courses of action to reach a
sustainable society. The authors conclude that there is a need to
recognize the biophysical limits imposed on economics by
ecosystems, the levels of participatory decision-making processes
and the use of environmental services as a strategy for sustainable
development. This book will be welcomed by academics and students
working in the areas of ecological and environmental economics,
sustainable development, development studies and Latin American
studies as well as by policymakers and practitioners.
