This book analyzes how governance and climate change adaptation - both integral to sustainable development - operate outside the bureaucratic apparatus of the state. It examines `top-down' and `bottom-up' approaches to sustainable development and looks at a possible `middle-out' approach to resolving the challenges to sustainable development.
