This volume, representing the sixth edition of the Advances in Ecopolitics Series with Emerald Group Publishing, is a critical examination of three key concepts which need to be understood for the management of today’s flexible and fluid society, namely Sustainability, Justice and Community. Within this study, we seek to explore both through an analysis built from their original philosophical understandings, through to their contemporary usage and application, ultimately developing new understandings through a combination of the essential thematic notions underpinning these salient concepts.   This book represents the first in a series of attempts to address the need for a new and restorative form of community based justice, based on key human qualities such as participation, imagination, creativity and respect for humans and the planet we inhabit, as opposed to the failed systems or ideologies of the past. In order to develop the concepts of Sustainable Justice and the Community, we have revisited and re-examined a series of theorists, philosophies and concepts from the pantheon of works devoted to rights, be they individual, communal or ecological. Within these chapters, an examination of the key concepts of community, justice and sustainability have been undertaken, in order to develop a coherent argument about the potential benefits of sustainable, community based justice for the intelligent society.   Table of Contents   ABOUT THE AUTHORS   INTRODUCTION   CHAPTER 1: UNDERSTANDING SUSTAINABLE JUSTICE   CHAPTER 2: THE THEORIES OF JUSTICE   CHAPTER 3: RESTORING JUSTICE TO THE COMMUNITY   CHAPTER 4: SUSTAINABLE POLITICAL ECONOMY   CONCLUSION   REFERENCES   SUBJECT INDEX     Regards, Matt     Matthew Burton Development Editor Emerald Group Publishing Limited Tel: +44 (0) 1274 785218 Fax: +44 (0)1274 785244 E-mail: MBu...@emeraldinsight.com http://www.emeraldinsight.com Emerald Group Publishing Limited, Howard House, Wagon Lane, Bingley , BD16 1WA , UK   Emerald Group Publishing Limited, Registered Office: Howard House, Wagon Lane, Bingley, BD16 1WA United Kingdom.
