DELIBERATIVE ECOLOGICAL ECONOMICS,This volume is part of the series Ecological Economics and Human Well-being that offers the best and most recent work in the transdisciplinary field of ecological economics, whose focus is the study of the relationship between economic activity and environmental sustainability. Founded on the idea that democracy and value diversity realized through debate are essential for the pursuit of an authentic conception of sustainable development, this volume explores both novel and established means by which economics can combine with deliberative decision-making processes to generate shared and solid visions of sustainability. Contributed by specialists from all over the world, the volume deals with three broad themes. The first part focuses on the use of deliberative processes in ecological—economic analyses of environmental decision making. The second part considers links between deliberation and the politics of sustainable development. And the third part further develops theoretical aspects in deliberative ecological economics. With case studies on ecological management from countries as far apart as Namibia in Southern Africa to New South Wales in Australia, this volume advances ways of generating shared visions of sustainability.
