Approaches to Global Sustainability, Markets, and Governance takes a fresh and
global approach to issues of corporate social responsibility, regulation, governance,
and sustainability. It encompasses such issues as: environmental sustainability and
managing the resources of the world; geopolitics and sustainability; global markets
and their regulation; governance and the role of supranational bodies; sustainable
production and resource acquisition; society and sustainability.
Although primarily a business and management series, it is interdisciplinary
and includes contributions from the social sciences, technology, engineering, politics, philosophy, and other disciplines. It focuses on the issues at a meta-level, and
investigates the ideas, organisation, and infrastructure required to address them.
The series is grounded in the belief that any global consideration of sustainability
must include such issues as governance, regulation, geopolitics, the environment, and
economic activity in combination to recognise the issues and develop solutions for
the planet. At present such global meta-analysis is rare as current research assumes
that the identification of local best practice will lead to solutions, and individual
disciplines act in isolation rather than being combined to identify truly global issues
and solutions.
