Summary: | Transgovernance: Advancing Sustainability Governance analyses� what implications�recent and ongoing changes in the relations between politics, science and media together characterized as the emergence of a knowledge democracy may�have for governance for sustainable development, on global and other levels of societal decision making, and vice versa: How can the discussion on sustainable development contribute to a knowledge democracy? How can concepts such as second modernity, reflexivity, configuration theory, (meta)governance theory and cultural theory contribute to a transgovernance approach which goes beyond mainstream sustainability governance?�This volume presents contributions from various angles: international relations, governance and metagovernance theory, (environmental) economics and innovation science. It offers challenging insights regarding institutions and transformation processes, and�into the paradigms behind contemporary sustainability governance.This book gives the sustainability governance debate a new context. It transforms classical questions into new options for societal decision making and identifies starting points and strategies�aimed at�effective governance of transitions to sustainability.
