This book interrogates the multi-scalar complexities that need to be considered in moving towards a more sustainable coastal zone through the lenses of economic geography.

John Morrissey is a Lecturer in Geography at Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, Ireland. His research is focused on issues of sustainable development, particularly socio- technical transitions, low- carbon development and challenges of low- carbon economy for urban and coastal communities. His work is informed by environmental economic geography with a focus on socio- spatial differentiation of transition processes.
