A complexity approach to sustainabilitytheory and application /[electronic resource] :Angela Espinosa, Jon Walker. - London :Imperial College Press ;c2011. - xxvii, 361 p. :ill. (some col.) - Series on complexity science ;v. 1. - Series on complexity science ;v. 1..

Includes bibliographical references (p. 313-338) and indexes.

A major challenge of our times is to understand and manage the increasing complexity of socio-economic reality. This has immediate relevance for sustainable development. The impact of recent contributions from systems and complexity sciences in addressing this issue has not filtered down into effective practice - notably, there remain problems caused by the legacy of competing paradigms and the application of their associated methodologies. This book argues the urgency for the application of analytical tools that embody the principles of complexity management. The authors describe a theoretical framework based on complexity science with a focus on organisational and second order cybernetics, one that presents a powerful new insight into the concept of sustainability. The book also describes actual applications of the ideas in the area of organisational, societal and environmental management, as well as reflects upon the impact of such an approach on current practice.
