In addition to exploring how climate change, biodiversity and energy crises, water and food scarcity require societal transitions, it keeps a firm eye focused on the lessons that have been learned about why societal transitions occur (or not) and especially on the role played in these processes by governing institutions writ large. Drawing on earlier work by the authors and others in the field, the book introduces and applies the idea of a “governance path” in assessing how likely any sustainability transition might be and in what directions any such transition is likely to go. Concluding with a discussion of the interplay between governance and policy strategies, the book highlights the need for both good governance and good strategies if any kind of successful transition is to occur.’ – Michael Howlett, Simon Fraser University, Canada April 2024 316 pp Hardback 978 1 0353 2399 9 £110.00 / $155.00 eBook • Elgaronline Concise Encyclopedia of Applied Ethics in the Social Sciences Edited by Tuija Takala and Matti Häyry, Aalto University, Finland ‘This is a uniquely informative and insightful source of knowledge on the plethora of ways in which applied ethics is intertwined with the theory and practice of the social sciences.’ – Thomasine Kushner, Program in Medicine and Human Values, Sutter Health April 2024 284 pp Hardback 978 1 80088 168 6 £175.00 / $245.00 eBook • Elgaronline Elgar Encyclopedias in the Social Sciences series Research Handbook on Civil–Military Relations Edited by Aurel Croissant, Heidelberg University, Germany and and GSIS, Ewha Womans University, S Korea, David Kuehn, German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA), Germany and David PionBerlin, University of California, Riverside, US ‘This exceptionally wide-ranging work on military politics features some of the most thoughtful scholars on this important subject.
