Cambridge Elements – Earth System Governance (Flyer)

Cambridge Elements - Earth System Governance Flyer. 2018.

Abstract

This exciting book series provides concise but authoritative studies of the governance of complex socio-ecological systems, written by world-leading scholars. Highly interdisciplinary in scope, the series addresses governance processes and institutions at all levels of decision-making, from local to global, within a planetary perspective that seeks to align current institutions and governance systems with the fundamental 21st Century challenges of global environmental change and earth system transformations.

Elements in this series present cutting edge scientific research, while also seeking to contribute innovative transformative ideas towards better governance. A key aim of the series is to present policy-relevant research that is of interest to both academics and policy-makers working on earth system governance.

Cambridge Elements are original, concise, authoritative, and peer-reviewed collections of scholarly and scientific research. Organised into focused series edited by leading scholars, they provide comprehensive coverage of key topics in disciplines spanning the arts and sciences.
