The aim of the series is to address growing concerns for the future of our interlocked ecological, political and economic systems in a highly populated world that is characterised by major social and economic disparities. The complex relationship between the economy, society and the environment and scientific knowledge requires a multi-disciplinary approach, and calls for skilled communication to be able to address technological issues as well as the political framework within which problem solving necessarily takes place. In practical terms, this series will demonstrate that SD is a multidisciplinary process that involves all issues such as science, innovation, technology, research & development, information technology, human capital development, business and management, trade, etc for knowledge based economies and growth. The series wi ll attempt to provide many international illustrative examples, rather than exhaustive research oriented cases material.
