Social Progress and Sustainable Development

What are the social dimensions of sustainable development? Why are they important? Can agreement be reached on what constitutes progress? How can progress most effectively be brought about? Neil Thin argues that sustainable development is possible only if we systematically link social progress—social justice, solidarity, participation, and security—with other dimensions of development. To that end, his book provides a sound basis for improved policies and implementation strategies.
