Reviews

The heating planet and species extinction are now widely recognised existential threats to global sustainability (outside the US Republican Party) but the vast majority of policy responses `take the world order as a given and try to find solutions within established parameters'. This volume brings together a swathe of radical alternatives to the status quo, ranging from new planetary ethics to rethinking democracy, facing challenges from North-South inequality to financialisation, and proposing new approaches from consumption corridors to sustainable zero-growth - and many more. A timely and scholarly snapshot of a fast-moving crisis and the transformative responses it requires. -- Ian Gough, Visiting Professor, London School of Economics, UK The Routledge Handbook on Global Sustainability Governance brings much needed critical attention to the theories, ethics, conduct and practice of sustainability governance. Addressing vital questions of how to bring about transformations towards a more humane and sustainable society, I recommend it for its timeliness, breadth of coverage, and the quality of scholarship from both established and more junior academics. -- Peter Newell, Professor of International Relations, University of Sussex, UK
