SustainableDevelopment - Utopie oder realistische Vision ?

Karriere und Zukunft einer entwicklungspolitischen Strategie

POLITICA – Schriftenreihe zur politischen Wissenschaft

Das Schlagwort SustainableDevelopment ist in aller Munde. Nicht nur politisch korrekt ist es heute, sein Handeln als nachhaltig zu charakterisieren, sondern geradezu chic: Auch künftigen Generationen der Menschheit soll die Chance auf ein lebensfähiges Ökosystem garantiert werden, so wie die jetzige Generation dieses Erbe von ihren Vorgängern erhielt.
