'Rather than a procedure or a specific approach SEA is considered a toolkit or a family of tools. This fits well with the concept of ''selection logic'' the authors of this book suggest as a basis of an SEA theory: a concept that would allow SEA practitioners to select the best methods, processes and strategies for a given application.'
