Aims and Scope (from publisher):
This peer-reviewed scientific book series addresses this very long-term and severe transition process, where the cause of the change and its potential violent societal consequences are no longer the ‘other’ nation, ethnic, religious or political group, but ‘we’: “we are the threat” and only we as part of humankind can offer a remedy by containing the causes and addressing, facing and coping with the consequences.
This book series reviews and analyses selective societal consequences of this fundamental change in earth history and the political, economic, societal and scientific discourses and policy-oriented societal debates on i) achieving the goal of ‘sustainable development’, ii) creating processes of ‘sustainability transition’, iii) the need for ‘a new contract for sustainability’, iv) the need for a paradigmatic change in world view (a scientific revolution) towards sustainability, or even v) the need for a ‘sustainability revolution’.
The key actors for bringing about such a change are: 1) Politik in its three distinct meanings of ‘politics’ (process), ‘policy’ (field, area) and ‘polity’ (legal and institutional framework); 2) Economics (as the field, actor and process), 3) Society (as the innovative groups and processes), and 4) Science as the source of technical innovation and societal and philosophical reflection.
