Approaches to Sustainable Development

A definition of sustainable development is that of the Brundtland Commission - ...development which meets the needs of the current generation without jeopardizing the needs of future generations. This volume seeks to analyze the economic basis for this definition, and to look at the critiques of the economic approach - which have their basis in growing disquiet over the role of the productive normative science driving technological change and economic transformation. The discussion is followed by studies of the application of the criteria of sustainability to rural problems in South Asia, Kenya, Nepal, and Latin America and to urban/industrial problems in Jamaica, Chile and Vietnam.
