EDUCATION

Ecological Economics Encyclopedia

Hello and welcome to the Online Encyclopedia of Ecological Economics (OEEE), published by the International Society for Ecological Economics (ISEE). The purpose of the OEEE is to provide students, academics, journalists, activists, policy makers and everybody else interested with a first-hand introduction to many of the topics at the heart of ecological economic analysis. Most of the entries you will find in this encyclopaedia not only provide a detailed analysis of the specific topic, but also discuss the distinct contribution of ecological economics. References - some electronic, others conventionally published as books or journal articles - provide further leads and help you grasp a better understanding of the topic.

We believe this is a unique and great project. It is also a dynamic one, which is made possible by the flexibility of the internet as a publication forum. We intend to add more and more entries as well as update entries over time. We actively welcome suggestions for further entry topics together with suggestions for authors! Please send all suggestions to Eric Neumayer.

We hope you enjoy reading entries of the OEEE and that you benefit from them. We would like to thank all authors for their willingness to contribute time and effort to making the OEEE possible in the first place.

The Editor, Eric Neumayer, London School of Economics (LSE)
