Beskrivning

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is recurrently depicted as an enterprise that unites humanity in a common pursuit of a more just and sustainable world. But how is this enterprise pursued on a planet that is enormously unequal? Drawing on biopolitical theory and rich empirical data from different contexts around the world, this book explores how ESD is unpacked depending on whether people are rich or poor. The book demonstrates how ESD is adapted to the lifestyles and living conditions of different populations. The implication of this depoliticized sensitivity to local ‘realities’, the book argues, is that inequality becomes accommodated and that different responsibilities are assigned to rich and poor. Ultimately, the book considers alternatives to this biopolitical divide.

Recensioner i media

“Education for sustainable development has been gaining strength in institutional politics, but it has also been seen as a slogan due to its conceptual ambiguity. This book constitutes a proposal from biopolitical theory to seriously consider specific realities, mainly in countries that suffer from great social inequality." Edgar Javier González Gaudiano, Universidad Veracruzana
