Obiettivo At a time of global environmental change accompanied by economic and social challenges, the lessons from the NIS for international development strategies are valuable. The purpose of this project is to organise a continuing dialogue between economists and ecologists in the East and the West. This research project will assist the fulfilment of extensive research work. The research will evaluate the self-regulation mechanisms in society, involving their economic, legislative, judicial, democratic and cultural backgrounds. The self-regulation has to include ecological imperatives. These concern the balance between economic and non-economic forces in development and how ecological and social information is disseminated so that democratic systems can respond appropriately. The evaluation will be in the context of the Brundtland Report of 1987, the UNCED in Rio in 1992 and the follow-up activities such as the Commission for Sustainable Development. The serious results of change seen in some Eastern countries are explosive ecological/social developments on the periphery and some backlash in the centre. Up to now this has not been much analysed in the West. Following the initial work a workshop on selected aspects of these themes will be arranged in Edinburgh and bring in invited participants in the fields of ecological economics. The work will be published in papers and later as a book with Prof Kollontai as principal author.
