Sweden and Ecological Governance explores the pioneering role of Sweden in environmental and ecological policy. Now available in paperback, this book delves into policies and strategies for ecologically rational governance, using the Swedish case study to examine the transition from traditional environmental policies to a comprehensive pursuit of sustainable development, exemplified by the 'Sustainable Sweden' programme.

The study begins by investigating the spatial dimensions of ecological governance and then considers the integration and effectiveness of sustainable development policies. It analyses the tension between democracy and sustainable development, a topic with broader relevance beyond the Swedish model, impacting other nation states as well as the European Union as a whole.

In this book, the author offers cutting-edge insights into the advanced implementation of sustainable development by a leader in environmental and ecological policy. It is an invaluable resource for students of environmental politics and researchers in sustainable development.
