Linking Complexity and Sustainability Theories: Implications for Modeling Sustainability Transitions

Peter, Camaren; Swilling, Mark - In: Sustainability 6 (2014) 3, pp. 1594-1622

In this paper, we deploy a complexity theory as the foundation for integration of different theoretical approaches to sustainability and develop a rationale for a complexity-based framework for modeling <i>transitions to sustainability</i>. We propose a framework based on a comparison of complex...
