Sustainability cannot be achieved without good governance. The Johannesburg
World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002 stated that the future role and
architecture of institutions, from local to international levels, will be
crucial determinants to whether policies and programmes for sustainable
development will succeed. But these are changing times. With growing tensions
over both globalisation and regionalisation, traditional systems of regulation
are being subjected to growing pressure for reform. "Governance and
Sustainability" examines the possibilities of integrating the environmental,
social and economic dimensions of sustainable development within the framework
of governance processes. It takes a close look at the key actors, their agendas
and methods, forms of organisation, problems and limits, as well as real-life
examples for governance in different areas of society at the regional, national
and international level. The book is based on a major conference hosted by the
Institute for Ecological Economy Research (IÖW) and the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung
(FES) to assess the issue of governance post-Johannesburg. The publication
includes innovative insights from some of the leading thinkers in both
sustainable development and governance from academia, business, multilateral
organisations and NGOs. It provides a unique perspective on two of the key
societal problems facing the world today.
