As a result, the  policies by which these goals are to be attained is often inadequately  scrutinised. In this book, ecological economics addresses the  institutional and policymaking aspects of environmental problems, thus  covering a broad socioeconomic research agenda, in contradistinction  to mainstream economic approaches. The approach advocated here is open  to differing viewpoints on the same issue, sees conflict resolution as  a social process, and accepts the need for research into  political-economic issues, according a prominent position to the aims  of society itself. An in-depth analysis of the policy process is  followed in order to understand the pitfalls and barriers that will  confront society on the road to sustainable development. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eReadership:\u003c\/em\u003e The broad approach advocated will appeal to all  involved in environmental problems - decision makers, NGO  members, and academic scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789401059282\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401059282\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4521-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 335\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358522503308,"sku":"9789401059282","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401059282_32100bcd-a4de-43e4-8054-1f9cc7ec3f58.jpg?v=1755107862","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401059282","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
