Reviews
'This deeply researched project, produced by two Swedish professors of environmental change, extracts the meanings of sustainability transformation from national and international policy documents, and completes the portrait through analysis of vivid focus group interactions from sites in Cabo Verde, Guangzhou (China), Fiji, Sweden, and Boulder (US) … Linnér and Wibeck (both, Linköping Univ.) conclude that strong, inclusive, and transparent institutions are essential for pursuing the path forward. The book includes an excellent bibliography, and will benefit advanced students and their instructors in international relations, public policy, and environmental studies.' D. B. Robertson, Choice
