| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The dominant discourse linking environment and development is that of ‘antagonism’. It is believed and established on the basis of evidences that environmental degradation is a result of un-limited developmental activities in the form of increased energy consumption. The model of economic development that is based upon the formal approach to economy is based on the premise that resources are limited and the needs of people should be met in such a way as to make sure the optimum utilization of resources. This model is also based upon profit maximization and the law of increasing return. It has been argued that such a model is an anti-thesis to the idea of sustainable development. |
