Despite the great flurry of activity around sustainability, the concept itself remains highly contested. This book argues that a new conceptualization of sustainability is needed if we are to achieve a healthful and sustainable environment for the long term. The authors examine the uses, misuses, and abuses of sustainability, and provide case studies of faux-sustainability in practice. Seeking to redefine and clarify the concept and its application, they offer a new definition of sustainability - what they call neo-sustainability - to help guide policies and practices that respect the primacy of the environment, the natural limits of the environment, and the relationship between environmental, social, and economic systems. Offering a comprehensive view of sustainability, this text is essential reading for all students and scholars in the field. It will also be of interest to environmental professionals and activists"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aCritical issues in global politics. 606 $aSustainable development$xGovernment policy 606 $aSustainable development$xInternational cooperation 606 $aEnvironmental policy$xInternational cooperation 606 $aWorld politics 606 $asustainable development$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $ainternational cooperation$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $anon-governmental organisation$9eng$2eurovoc 615 0$aSustainable development$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aSustainable development$xInternational cooperation. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy$xInternational cooperation. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 7$asustainable development 615 7$ainternational cooperation 615 7$anon-governmental organisation 676 $a338.927 686 $a16.20.24$2EP-CLASS 700 $aFarley$b Heather M.$01482820 702 $aSmith$b Zachary A$g(Zachary Alden),$f1953- 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794176803321 996 $aSustainability$93700691 997 $aUNINA
