invite papers for the anthology:
Intergenerational Justice and Demographic Change:
The Implementation of Long-Term Thinking in the Political
Decision Making Process
Intergenerational justice and demographic change are
intimately linked because it is the size of a generation
that determines a great share of its fate. But the
relationship between intergenerational justice and
demographic change is complex.
The book aims at clarifying the impact of demographic
changes on sustainability indicators that are relevant for
intergenerational justice: environment, public debt,
retirement systems, competitiveness, labour market,
education system etc. Until now, no comprehensive and
well-edited book analyzing this relationship has been
available. The anthology is aimed at politicians, scholars,
experts, and any interested members of the general public.
Currently two publishing houses are interested in making a
publishing contract for the book. The Springer-Verlag
(www.springer.com), one of the biggest science publishers in
Europe, and Earthscan (www.earthscan.co.uk), one of the
leading publishers in Sustainable Development.
We are still open to contributions on the following topics:
- The impact of demographic developments on
- Health Care Systems
- Pension/Retirement Systems
- The relationship between key sustainability indicators and
intergenerational justice
- An overview of theories of intergenerational
justice within the context of sustainability
- Intergenerational Justice and Population Policies

respective articles. The proposal should be written in
English and include an abstract of about one page length and
biographical information about the author and her or his
scientific work.
