Turning to practice – what does it mean and why is it important?
... Anyhow, all of these ways of turning are different from each other. While the mainstream turn to practice has mostly turned its theoretical gaze towards the practice of others, action research has mostly turned its back on theory. I think both should turn more to practice in the third way, however, ...

Ecological Democracy and Sustainable Development

We propose an indicator of sustainability that uses infant survival—a key component of the Physical Quality of Life Index (PQLI)- as a measure of welfare. We combine two measu ...
