Summary "In this second edition, the authors incorporate lessons from a decade of groundbreaking work on the conditions of sustainability in both developed and developing countries. They prescribe 'action networks' - partnerships of flexible, achievement-oriented actors - and present new case studies demonstrating the success of organizations that have applied this approach. They also introduce case studies on action networks that work simultaneously on international, national and local levels." "This is a pioneering text on environmental management, development studies and political culture and is an essential resource for policy makers, researchers, academics and students alike."--BOOK JACKET.
