I. The role of science related to the government and the society How does neoclassical economies relate to the system of representative democracy and the need for decision makers to have clear evidence that their policies are efficient? “Sustainability economics” or “economics for a sustainable society”? i. e. look at ideas of sustainable societies, local […]

Why not use a more direct approach to present environmental and other problems followed by proposals for action? Sustainability issues can no doubt be approached in many ways […]

I do think that “the reason why”, we “are still in the political defensive”, lies – in so far it is a cognitive and not just a power problem – in the fact that we have not dug deep enough in our own questions. We are not up against a body of ideas which are […]

The work of Professor Peter Söderbaum has inspired many, which the coming workshop is proving.
