Rural Sustainable Development in the Knowledge Society (Paperback): Karl Bruckmeier Rural Sustainable Development in the Knowledge Society (Paperback)
Karl Bruckmeier; Hilary Tovey
R1,532 Discovery Miles 15 320 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Based on the EU-funded CORASON research project, this volume brings together and compares studies into rural and sustainable development processes in 12 European countries. In doing so, it identifies key trends and reveals the changing nature of development processes on the way towards a knowledge society. The book examines the differences between the preconditions and contexts relevant to rural development strategies and those relevant to sustainable development strategies. It explores whether the concept, goals and nature of rural development is better understood and adopted by rural actors than those of sustainable development. Finally by focusing on the ideas and practices of sustainable resource management- a component in both rural and sustainable development objectives- it links with knowledge used by actors involved in rural development.

Social-Ecological Transformation - Reconnecting Society and Nature (Paperback, 1st ed. 2016): Karl Bruckmeier Social-Ecological Transformation - Reconnecting Society and Nature (Paperback, 1st ed. 2016)
Karl Bruckmeier
R1,849 Discovery Miles 18 490 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book advances a social-ecological theory to reconnect nature and society through sustainable transformation of interacting social and ecological systems. Social ecology develops as an interdisciplinary science by using knowledge from the social sciences, especially sociology and economics, and from natural-scientific ecology. Knowledge integration across the boundaries of social and natural sciences is not widespread, blocked by the specialisation of theories and their competing forms of explanation and interpretation. Chapters in this book describe a new social-ecological theory that connects concepts and theories from both sides to create a new interdisciplinary theory. Inter- and transdisciplinary knowledge synthesis creates possibilities to analyse global environmental problems more systematically by integrating specialized research on environmental problems. The author uses social-ecological theory to analyse and explain problems and processes of global change in modern society such as climate change and adaptation to it, ecosystem change, and transformation of the industrial energy regime , finally offering pathways of transformation to a future sustainable society.

Global Environmental Governance - Social-Ecological Perspectives (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2019): Karl Bruckmeier Global Environmental Governance - Social-Ecological Perspectives (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2019)
Karl Bruckmeier
R2,563 Discovery Miles 25 630 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book provides a critical review of global environmental governance as part of the broader process of sustainably transforming modern society. The author argues for substantial modifications, outlining potential improvements in knowledge bridging processes, integration and synthesis that offer valuable information for environmental policy and governance. These improvements, he argues, should be achieved through the use of theoretical and empirical knowledge gleaned from global scenario analysis and interdisciplinary environmental research, and with the aid of new practices for knowledge sharing, cooperation and collective learning. The analysis presented in the book is based on recent developments in social ecology and the author's interdisciplinary theory of society-nature interaction (Social-Ecological Transformation: Reconnecting Society and Nature, Palgrave Macmillan, 2016).

Karl Bruckmeier
R2,219 Discovery Miles 22 190 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This textbook provides an overview of economic perspectives on sustainability. It synthesises economic, ecological and interdisciplinary sustainability research and by applying an integrated social-ecological and economic framework, demonstrates how this research can be improved and implemented in practice. Split into three parts, the book begins by introducing a range of topics forming the basis of knowledge needed to understand the varying sustainability discourses in economics, ecology and interdisciplinary sustainability research. Chapters cover the political context of sustainability; the history of sustainability in European environmental discourses dating back to the seventeenth century; as well as various problems and forms of interdisciplinary knowledge integration and synthesis in the sustainability process. Part II reviews the core economic themes relevant to sustainable development including natural resource management, environmental economics and ecological economics. Also highlighted are often neglected issues such as conflicts, disasters and interrelated crises on the way towards sustainability. The chapters in Part III discuss the future of the sustainability process. They argue for the necessity of overhauling the relationship between science and practice; explore failures and the unforeseen difficulties of sustainability transformation; and discuss how to enable a long term sustainability process that reaches into the distant future. An innovative resource for a broad range of interdisciplinary programmes on sustainability. The book will be an invaluable reference for master and PhD students, instructors, researchers and practitioners in sustainability governance.

Die Burgerbewegungen in Der Ddr Und in Den Ostdeutschen Bundeslandern (German, Paperback, 1993 ed.): Gerda Haufe Die Burgerbewegungen in Der Ddr Und in Den Ostdeutschen Bundeslandern (German, Paperback, 1993 ed.)
Gerda Haufe; Edited by Karl Bruckmeier
R1,587 Discovery Miles 15 870 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In dieser empirischen Untersuchung wird die Entwicklung der oppositionellen Burgerbewegungen von der Endphase der DDR bis hin zu ihrer neuen politischen Rollen in der Bundesrepublik nachgezeichnet und interpretiert. Wahrend ublicherweise diese Entwicklung als organisatorischer Zusammenschluss (zuerst im Bundnis 90, danach im Bundnis 90/Die Grunen) beschrieben wird, ist die Perspektive hier eine andere: Die Burgerbewegungen werden als eigenstandige politische und soziale Bewegungen begriffen, deren Entwicklung noch immer nicht abgeschlossen ist. Sie haben vielmehr musterbildende Bedeutung fur lokal aktive Basisgruppen, die auch in Zukunft Bewegungscharakter behalten werden."
