Full Description
The reviewed monograph is an attempt to reconstruct the scientific discourse on what sustainable development is in the theoretical dimension, considering different analytical perspectives. The main motive for its creation was to encourage deeper reflection on the ways of understanding the concept of sustainable development and its evolution, as well as choosing an effective political path that conditions the just and continuous development of societies.
This work can be a valuable contribution to the implementation of this ambitious assumption. In addition, the monograph can be useful at the academic level, both for students and academic lecturers of selected fields of study interested in economic, social and ecological issues, and constitute a rich offer on the international publishing market, to the benefit not only of theoreticians and practitioners, but also of a wider audience.
