Produktbeschreibung

This volume explores steering strategies and governance arrangements for sustainable development with a view to these problem dimensions. By combining theoretical reflections with insights from empirical research in European and American contexts, it maps out conditions and identifies approaches which both reflect the limits of steering and reveal options for constructively taking up the task of sustainable development in science and practice.
