New publication about perspectives of sustainable development

A new book of the IASS sheds light on the perspectives of sustainable development. The book, published by the German publishing house Metropolis Verlag, originates from a workshop at the IASS and is edited by Judith Enders and Moritz Remig. An English translation of the book is in preparation and will appear in 2013.

Do we need a theory of sustainable development? Is there only one or are there many theories of sustainability aimed to integrate the ecological, the social and the economic sphere within the boundaries of our planet? What are theories at hand – and where do we need further research? These are some of the questions addressed in this edited volume.
