This e-book of MEQ contains a selection of papers from the 7th international conference on “Current Issues of Sustainable Development”, held in April 2007 in Opole (Poland), as well as two interesting further papers on environmental management in Chile and Saudi Arabia. The papers consider the importance of institutions and governance, as well as the role of business for sustainable development and environmental management issues. The institutional basis for environmental management and sustainable development is likely to increase in importance in a world where not only the economy is globalising, but also environmental problems seem to become of a more and more cross-border or global nature. This e-book aims to answer the question: who is able to influence what kind of sustainable development?
