In order to create truly sustainable universities, we require new
methods of visualising and interpreting them holistically as
institutions built on complex relationships and systems, rather
than as individual departments and people operating independently.
This book uses a systemic structural constellations approach to
demonstrate how we can build more sustainable higher education
institutions, both in terms of teaching and research and at an
operational level. Drawing examples from current research and
teaching, Systemic Structural Constellations and Sustainability in
Academia explores how universities are not only centres of teaching
and learning but can also play a crucial role in enabling future
decision-makers to appreciate and contribute to a more sustainable
future. Providing a clear introduction to systemic structural
constellations and guidance on how to practically apply the theory
to numerous aspects of the higher education system, this book will
be of great interest to students and researchers of education for
sustainable development, organisational learning and sustainable
management, as well as those tasked with transforming the higher
education system for the future.
The book discusses how to tackle long-term social and ecological
problems by using different environmental governance approaches to
creating sustainable development. It explores opportunities and
requirements for the governance of long-term problems, and examines
how to achieve a lasting transformation. When investments are made
to mitigate climate change or preserve biodiversity, future
generations can reap benefits from the efforts of the present
generation. However, long-term social-ecological change towards
sustainable development is disrupted by the fact that the costs and
benefits of action are seen by different generations. With a global
focus that includes case studies from Europe, Asia, Africa, and
North America, this book attempts to address the difficulty of
developing and implementing effective long-term governance
solutions. The authors examine what distinguishes long-term
problems from other policy problems, what governance responses are
available and used, and how different governance mechanisms, namely
economic incentives, participation, as well as knowledge and
learning, help to address them. Combining the perspectives on the
different governance approaches and featuring cases studies on
national, regional and global issues, Long-Term Governance for
Social-Ecological Change will be of interest to policy-makers,
students and scholars of global environmental governance,
development, sustainability, politics, economics, law and
sociology.
