Socjologia i rozwój zrównoważony. Najważniejsze obszary badań interdyscyplinarnych

Abstract

Sociology and sustainable development share many interesting areas of inquiry that offer the potential for closer cooperation between these two disciplines. The aim of the article is to examine the connections between them. The article considers the most promising areas; i.e, environmental issues (environmental sociology), quality of life (which is the key issue for the social pillar of sustainable development), and poverty (poverty eradication is the primary goal of the UN sustainable development agenda). It seems, however, that the cooperation between sociology and sustainable development has stopped at the stage of potential interdisciplinarity.
