Book Details:
With the growing recognition of social sciences and humanities to the issues of environment
and the destruction of life sustaining external physical environment, existence of man has become a
global concern. Scientists and sociologists welcome rapid growth and development, but the
concept of sustainable development is still a great challenge for us to overcome.
The concept of sustainable development has been defined as a kind of development that meets
the needs of the future generations to meet their own needs. T he paradigm of sustainable
development is an outcome of the concept of developmetalism and environmentalism.
Population explosion, rapid industrialization and exploitation of natural resources is
resulting into ecological imbalance, scarcity of resources, pollution and many such
problems. This ecological crisis and fight for the acquisition of powerful resources give
rise to environmental conflict. Today this conflict and crisis has become not only a threat
but also a matter of global concern. Even development becomes a threat if it is not
sustainable. The concept of sustainable development advocates a balance between demand
and supply of resources. United Nations Conference on Environment and Development
(UNCED) declared that human beings are at the center of concerns for sustainable
development, its ultimate goal being human welfare. Economic development can be
sustained if the total stock of resources, human capital, physical reproducible capital and
environmental resources decrease overtime. In the Indian context economic development can
contribute significantly to the two way dynamic functional relationship that exists between
development and environment because both are crucial variables of society. Sustainable
development can be made possible through methods such as organic farming, efficient
political system, optimum utilization of resources and stable and high level of economic
growth.
The articles in the book deal with the theoretical frameworks and different approaches
towards sustainable development. Observations and articles related to environmental
political discourses, the role of social sciences in environmental issues, other important dimensions
of sustainable development, the role of science and technology, orientation of investments
and technological changes and their consistency also are of great significance and
relevance.
