Summary
Das englischsprachige Buch untersucht die Frage nach institutionellem Wandel in lokalen und globalen umweltrelevanten Kontexten. How do institutions change? What can we learn about possibilities of and barriers to induced institutional changes? Where are potentials for more reflexive and more enduring processes of social learning? The book seeks to answer those questions.
