Chapter 1 in Global Sustainability, 2008, pp 1-33 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the first part of this chapter we intend to give the basic definitions of globalization and sustainable development as well as some historical background that we believe essential for a full understanding of what we are going to say in the sequel. In the second part of the chapter we proceed to outline a preview of a few crucial arguments developed in the following chapters. In the third part we explicit the theoretical foundations underlying our arguments.
