Description: Achieving sustainable development depends on good governance practices, particularly the effective implementation of national sustainable development strategies which integrate government decision-making in the economic, environmental and social spheres. This volume contains recommendations for the true "institutionalisation" of sustainable development.  Institutionalisation will embed the concept in government operations for the long-term and will reduce the vulnerability of sustainable development aims to shorter-term political objectives.
Notes: "... proceedings of a workshop on Institutionalising Sustainable Development held in Stockholm, Sweden on 31 August-1 September 2006" -- p. 3.
