Abstract
Sustainable development has become a widely accepted goal, but what does it mean? How can it be achieved? Viewing the problem of sustainability in its historical, political, and ideological contexts, this article recommends a decentered strategic orientation. The approach, drawing critically upon both incrementalist and radical perspectives, seeks to avoid difficulties that arise with the conventional administrative response.Keywords
