Hållbarhet är ett begrepp som används i allt fler sammanhang – och tycks kunna stå för nästan vad som helst. Men vad betyder egentligen hållbar utveckling? Denna bok ger en introduktion till begreppet hållbar utveckling, i alla dess nyanser och tolkningar. Med avstamp i den historiska process som ledde fram till Brundtland- rapporten och FN:s hållbarhetsmål, beskriver författarna idén om hållbar utveckling och de huvudsakliga skiljelinjer som finns i hur begreppet förstås och används i dag. Denna andra och reviderade upplaga innehåller också en fördjupad diskussion om hållbarhetens etik och beskrivningen av olika aktörers arbete med hållbar utveckling har uppdaterats med nya konkreta exempel. Hållbar utveckling – nyanser och tolkningar är skriven för dig som är nyfiken på begreppet hållbar utveckling och vill förstå det bättre. Den visar på mångfalden i diskussionen om hållbar utveckling och väcker frågor kring vad en hållbar utveckling kräver av oss – som individer, i våra yrken och som samhälle.

Raymond John Chambers was born just over a century ago on 16 November 1917. It is more than fifty years since his first classic, Accounting, Evaluation and Economic Behavior, was published, more than forty since Securities and Obscurities: Reform of the Law of Company Accounts (republished in 1980 as Accounting in Disarray) and over twenty since the unique An Accounting Thesaurus: Five Hundred Years of Accounting. They are drawn upon extensively in this biography of Chambers’ intellectual contributions, as are other of his published works. Importantly, we also analyze archival correspondence not previously examined. While Chambers provided several bibliographical summaries of his work, without the benefits of reviewing and interspersing the text with correspondence materials from the Chambers Archive this study would lack an appreciation of the impact of his early childhood, and nuances related to his practical (including numerous consultancies) and academic experiences. The ‘semi-biographical narrative’ codifies article and editorial length exercises by the authors drawing on parts of the archive related to theory development, measurement and communication. Other parts are also examined. This allows us to respond to those critics who claim his reforms were naive. They further reveal a man of theory and practice, whose theoretical ideas were solidly grounded on observations from his myriad interests and experiences. Many of his practical experiences have not been examined previously. This approach and the first book-length biography differentiates this work from earlier analyses of Chambers’ contribution to the accounting literature. We provide evidence to support the continued push for the reforms he proposed to accepted accounting thought and practice to ensure accounting is the serviceable technology so admired by Pacioli, Da Vinci and many other Renaissance pioneers. It will be of interest to researchers, educators, practitioners and regulators alike.

Sustainability is a buzzword, a term almost everyone uses, but it seems to be able to signify anything and everything. What does sustainable development really mean? This book provides an introduction to the concept of sustainable development, in all its nuances and interpretations. Starting from the historical process leading up to the Brundtland Report and the Rio Summit, we describe the idea of sustainable development and the main dividing lines in how the concept is understood and used. We also provide an overview of how different actors are working on sustainable development and consider what responsibilities we have to promote sustainable development in our professional capacities.The book is written for anyone who is curious about sustainable development and wants to learn more about what the concept means. We hope that the book will offer you a better understanding of the diverse perspectives included in discussions on sustainable development and give you an opportunity to reflect on your own ideas about what sustainable development requires of us, as individuals and as a society.
