“…Most treatments of sustainable development acknowledge the Brundtland Report in their opening remarks (Bebbington, ; Connelly, ; Dasgupta, ; Filho, ; Giddings et al , ; Hedren and Linner, ; Jacobs, ; Kates et al , ; Laws et al , ; Luke, ; Lumley and Armstrong, ; Mebratu, ; Michaels and Laituri, ; Mitlin, ; Pezzoli, ; Redclift, ; Söderbaum, ). The discursive impact of its definition of sustainable development, and its centrality of reference, makes it the departure point for our review of conventional sustainable development discourse.…”

Sustainable development is commonly traced to the 'Bruntland Report'. However, its origins wind their way back through earlier UN conferences, 18th and 19th century political economic thought, Rousseauian ideals, the modernism founded on Bacon and Descartes, early Christian utopianism, and classical utopias such as Republic and New Atlantis, which expressed themes of social justice, environmental stewardship and economic growth. This article follows these utopian themes back through the history of sustainable development thought, relying on contemporary histories and reviews of the field as well as certain original texts. We also identify these threads within, and their impact upon, contemporary narratives and debates. We conclude with the suggestion that awareness of these discursive streams can assist in the effective use of the tools and concepts available for sustainable development efforts. drew on the Christian utopianism that preceded his work (Allenby, 2005) and built on the egalitarian 'golden age of morality' to develop a new, but secular, utopian philosophy. Marx's utopian thought contains multiple streams. One has similarities to the modernist, industrially driven economy discussed in the previous section, in which 'modern people came to see life in general through the lens of 274J. Harlow et al.Berman also explores such tensions, focusing on how development discourse takes the desirability of modernity for granted regardless of consequences or context (Berman, 1985).

As stress on water resources increases from growing human demands and a changing climate, recognition of the need to develop effective strategies for water governance is expanding. Consequently, it is timely to consider the legacy of effective instances of water policy innovation that have been highly influential in water resource management in Canada. We present two historical examples of policy transfer -that is, when policy employed in one jurisdiction is adapted for use in another. The first is the late nineteenth-century adoption of water allocation law in the North-West Territories that was a noteworthy departure from how water had been allocated in eastern Canada. The second is the twentieth-century introduction of conservation authorities in Ontario as regional watershed-based management entities. These examples illustrate how, in an era of expert-driven natural resources management, notions of governance were adapted from Australia and the United States. They also reveal how the biophysically-based policy context of water influences which policy transfer mechanisms are appropriate for lesson-learning. We conclude that the potential for policy transfer and lesson-learning to shorten the policy innovation timeline must be viewed as a critical response to urgent and evolving demands on water.

“…There has been no single collaborative management model to follow. Furthermore, the New Zealand context, where Maori have an enhanced position as a treaty partner with government (Michaels & Laituri, 1999), has shown that the case for collaborative management as a required ideal must be continuously remade as group learning and capacity building proceed among government agencies and within indigenous groups.…”

The beliefs and practices of indigenous groups are increasingly recognized as being of value for resource management. But engagement in comanagement has proved problematic for indigenous communities. The authors argue that this results from different interpretations of what is meant by comanagement. Three interpretations are proffered, presenting different perspectives on the state-community duality: cooperative management, collaboration in management, and management by community. Referring to a New Zealand study of the potential for joint management of freshwater resources, the authors argue collaboration between state and indigenous people (and mutual engagement of their knowledges) promises to maximize indigenous input into resource management decision making. Negotiation of such collaborative arrangements is made difficult however by the need for the state to (a) differentiate between traditional resource management knowledge and nonindigenous community-based knowledge and (b) incorporate the latter within a state perspective on resource management while specifically identifying and engaging with the former.
