Strategies for Sustainability
Aims and Scope
The series, will focus on “implementation strategies and responses” to environmen-
tal problems – at the local, national, and global levels. Our objective is to encour-
age policy proposals and prescriptive thinking on topics such as: the management
of sustainability (. environment-development trade-offs), pollution prevention,
clean technologies, multilateral treaty-making, harmonization of environmental
standards, the role of scientific analysis in decision-making, the implementation of
public-private partnerships for resource management, regulatory enforcement, and
approaches to meeting inter-generational obligations regarding the management
mon resources. We will favour trans-disciplinary perspectives and analy-
ses grounded in careful, comparative studies of practice, demonstrations, or policy
reforms. We will not be interested in further documentation of problems, prescrip-
tive pieces that are not grounded in practice, or environmental studies. Philosophi-
cally, we will adopt an open-minded pragmatism –“show us what works and why”
– rather than a particular bias toward a theory of the liberal state (. “command-
and-control”) or a theory of markets.
We invite Authors to submit manuscripts that:
Prescribe how to do better at incorporating concerns about sustainability into public
policy and private action.
Document what has and has not worked in practice.
Describe what should be tried next to promote greater sustainability in natural
resource management, energy production, housing design and development, indus-
trial anization, infrastructure planning, land use, and business strategy.
Develop implementation strategies and examine the effectiveness of specific sus-
tainability strategies. Focus on trans-disciplinary analyses grounded in careful, com-
parative studies of
