Gegenwart und Zukunft sozial-ökologischer Transformation

Which barriers are currently impeding the successful transformation to sustainability in the four areas of consumption, participation, research and time, and how could they be overcome? This multidisciplinary edited volume provides readers with answers to these questions. The contributing authors approach these topics from the perspectives of (inter alia) political science, philosophy, theology and human geography. They pursue and scrutinise the assumption that previous approaches to promoting sustainability through a fundamental change of unsustainable structures in our society, economy, culture and politics are inadequate. At the same time, they outline innovative strategies that—even despite this difficult initial situation—will contribute to the realisation of a comprehensive and profound socioecological transformation within the limited remaining time.
