N2 - Most current suggestions for operationalizing sustainability can be characterized as indicator-based management rules for achieving this goal. Although these rules may be of some practicalusefulness, they narrow the general idea of sustainability considerably. We want to contrast thisindicator-based type of sustainability with two successively more comprehensive approaches tosustainability: circular and evolutionary sustainability. Each type describes aspects ofsustainability which become observable on different time scales. Our aim is to draw attention to aninevitable trade-off: The more concrete and operational the approach to sustainability, thenarrower is its scope and the shorter is the time scale on which it is relevant. From our analysis wedraw conclusions on how to achieve sustainability in the political process.
