TL;DR: The claim that the EU played a leadership role at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development is examined using the concept of normative power Europe in this paper, and it is questioned whether the EU represents a normative power in the field of sustainable development.
Abstract: The claim that the EU played a leadership role at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development is examined using the concept of normative power Europe. We examine how the EU operationalized the concept of sustainable development before questioning whether the EU represents a normative power in the field of sustainable development. In doing so, we address two key concerns. First, we question the depth of the current EU's commitment to sustainable development. Second, we raise a number of important theoretical questions regarding Ian Manners' broader application of the concept of normative power Europe.

TL;DR: This paper developed and tested for reliability a survey to measure cognitive and structural attributes of social capital among youth, and concluded that although several attributes of their instrument are useful for use with youth aged 10-18 years in environmental education contexts, much more work needs to be done on conceptualizing and developing measures of Social capital that are relevant to environmental education.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hermeneutical analysis of United Nations documents concerning environmental education, which is now sub-wired to sustainable development, highlights an instrumental view of education, a resourcist conception of the environment, and an economicist view of development.
Abstract: The UNESCO-UNEP International Environmental Education Program (1975- 1995) provided impetus for developing, legitimizing, and institutionalizing environmental education. More recently, UNESCO was mandated by the United Nations to carry out a worldwide shift towards education for sus- tainable development. As international organizations’ recommendations and guidelines often act as beacons for the conception and implementation of national formal and nonformal education programs, it is necessary to critically appraise their content. Our hermeneutical analysis of United Nations documents concerning environmental education, which is now sub- sumed to sustainable development, highlights an instrumental view of edu- cation, a resourcist conception of the environment, and an economicist view of development. Such a worldview needs to be discussed.
