Review Summary

This CD-ROM training course uses the disintegration and integration processes occurring in the selected Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) as case studies on the need for sustainable development policies in transitional states.  The case studies view disintegration as the collapse of old administrative systems and economic relations such as occurred in the former USSR states. In this context the issues raised in the material encourage readers to consider the consequences of social integration or disintegration when assessing environmental and governance challenges that societies encounter when trying to achieve long-term sustainability. The program's approach also gives readers an interactive format to explore new ways of examining the integration or disintegration patterns in globalization processes.
