Divided We Stand
Author: Michiel Schwarz
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 9780812213195
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
This book provides a down-to-earth account of the virtues and failures of environmental risk assessment. The assessment process involves politics, technology, and issues of social choice, an unstructured grouping that often presents contradictory and confusing standpoints: the virtues of science and the scientific method are extolled on the one hand and condemned on the other; no viable solutions are offered; and there is no real understanding of the issues being discussed. This chaotic situation is analyzed using cultural theory, to offer a powerful and groundbreaking account of such topics as technological decision making, politics, energy, engineering, and technology as a whole.

Transgovernance
Author: Louis Meuleman
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3642280099
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
‘Transgovernance: Advancing Sustainability Governance’ analyses the question what recent and ongoing changes in the relations between politics, science and media – together characterized as the emergence of a knowledge democracy – may imply for governance for sustainable development, on global and other levels of societal decision making, and the other way around: How can the discussion on sustainable development contribute to a knowledge democracy? How can concepts such as second modernity, reflexivity, configuration theory, (meta)governance theory and cultural theory contribute to a ‘transgovernance’ approach which goes beyond mainstream sustainability governance? This volume presents contributions from various angles: international relations, governance and metagovernance theory, (environmental) economics and innovation science. It offers challenging insights regarding institutions and transformation processes, and on the paradigms behind contemporary sustainability governance.This book gives the sustainability governance debate a new context. It transforms classical questions into new options for societal decision making and identifies starting points and strategies towards effective governance of transitions to sustainability.

A Sustainist Lexicon
Author: Michiel Schwarz
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789461400529
Category : Sustainability
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Words are our first tools for making sense of the world. This publication presents seven words for a changing time. In this timely exploration of our cities, heritage, civic initiatives, urbanism and the future, Michiel Schwarz, co-creator of the Sustainism manifesto, charts how a new ethos and praxis is emerging in the 'design' of our living environment. This concise lexicon explores the changing cultural landscape through seven entries: Placemaking, Connectedness, Local, Commons, Circularity, Proportionality, Co-Design. In doing so it marks inroads into a sustainist culture that is more connected, locally-rooted, collaborative, respectful of the human scale, and altogether more environmentally and socially sustainable.
