The Local Politics of Global Sustainability
Abstract
Sustainable development is defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Like most political issues sustainability embraces issues of economic environmental and social justice and equity. In its real sense sustainability is the scope quality richness and benignity of human culture the biosphere and the economic life man made for them and the distribution of those benefits both now and over time. In this book entitled “The Local Politics of Global Sustainability” the authors explore the political implications of ecological economics. They envision a re-energized political system based on the type of self-governance referred to as strong democracy. As politics of engagement rather than consignment strong democracy empowers citizens to participate directly in community decision-making. Using examples of communities that are experimenting with various features of strong democratic systems the book explains the crucial biophysical economic and social issues involved in achieving a sustainable world that is chosen by the people rather than one imposed by external factors.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
