The Logic of Sufficiency

What if modern society put a priority on the material security of its citizens andthe ecological integrity of its resource base? What if it took ecological constraint as a given, nota hindrance but a source of long-term economic security? How would it organize itself, structure itsindustry, shape its consumption?Across time and across cultures, people actually have adapted toecological constraint. They have changed behavior; they have built institutions. And they havedeveloped norms and principles for their time. Today's environmental challenges -- at once global,technological, and commercial -- require new behaviors, new institutions, and new principles.In thishighly original work, Thomas Princen builds one such principle: sufficiency. Sufficiency is notabout denial, not about sacrifice or doing without. Rather, when resource depletion andoverconsumption are real, sufficiency is about doing well. It is about good work and goodgovernance; it is about goods that are good only to a point.With examples ranging from timbering andfishing to automobility and meat production, Princen shows that sufficiency is perfectly sensibleand yet absolutely contrary to modern society's dominant principle, efficiency. He argues thatseeking enough when more is possible is both intuitive and rational -- personally, organizationallyand ecologically rational. And under global ecological constraint, it is ethical. Over the longterm, an economy -- indeed a society -- cannot operate as if there's never enough and never toomuch.

Most likely , though , that neglect owes to the fact that social scientists and the policymakers who employ social science reasoning see no need for an alternative rationality . Economic and legal rationalities prevail in public ...

South Africa and the Logic of Regional Cooperation

In South Africa and the Logic of Regional Cooperation, James J. Hentz addresses changes in South Africa's strategies for regional cooperation and economic development since its transition from apartheid to democracy. Hentz focuses on why the new South African government continues to make regional cooperation a priority and what methods this dominant state uses to pursue its neighborly goals. While providing a synthetic overview of the history of regional cooperation in southern Africa, Hentz considers the logic of cooperation more generally. An extensive discussion of South African politics provides the context for Hentz's exploration of the more widely felt effects of domestic change. Readers interested in the international organization of the politics and economy of southern Africa will find thought-provoking material in this important book.
