Surprisingly, the interregnum between successive generations has received little attention. To understand what happens in the interregnum, we study...

Journeys to a sustainable future have become important to industry, government and research. In this paper, we examine evolutionary, relational and durational perspectives on sustainability journeys. Each perspective emphasizes different facets of sustainability – shifts in selection...
