The Emergence of Ecological Modernisation (Paperback)

Paperback. The Emergence of Ecological Modernisation offers a wealth of empirical research material from an international perspective, bringing together previously scattered sources for the first time. It addresses a series of theoretical issues that are of key contemporary relevance, such as the relationship between ecological modernisation and sustainable development; strategies for promoting ecological modernisation, and the extent to which it is possible to 'green' contemporary capitalism. Stephen Young draws from original research to analyse the theory and practice of ecological modernisation, its nature and the extent of its impact. In so doing he focuses on new attempts to green economies in advanced industrial societies. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
