Sustainable Development: A Review of International Literature. CfSD, University of Westminster and the Law School, University of Strathcylde (UK: Scottish Executive Social Research, 2006). [crown copyright]

CfSD, along with the University of Strathclyde Law School, carried out a review to inform the production of the Scottish Sustainable Development Strategy and the plans for its implementation. The review provides an overview of recent and contemporary academic and 'expert' literature and prevailing debates surrounding sustainable development for a number of selected areas of policy delivery, and relates these to the principles and priorities for sustainable development in Scotland. It has concentrated on English language texts published since 1999, the year in which the last UK-wide sustainable development strategy was produced.
