Leading social scientists explore the relationship between social theory and sustainability, stressing the importance of humanistic values. A realist agenda is vital for the most pressing issue of our time - environmental degradation.
This book marks a watershed in the social sciences. The qualitative, critical perspective of sociology and allied disciplines challenges the technocentric `managerialism' which dominates environmental policy, its discourse and its impact.
The authors explore the relationship between social theory and sustainability in an attempt to transend technical rhetoric and embrace a broader understanding of `nature'.
