Sustaining Earth: Bringing Law, Society, and Sustainable Development Together

Abstract

It is conceived that law has started regulating the multiple and continuously expanding territories of development. Resource management, integration of markets, global patterns of lifestyle, urbanization, and use of modern technology are viewed as the inseparable ingredients of human life and irrevocable elements of “development.” History has proven that all human endeavors have conceived and acted upon some sense of development. Modern history is also a reference point where it seems that global society has come up with a concept of development that, in an unprecedented manner, interacts with the objective of achieving the goal of “human comfort.” Such a design of development has received a global recognition by governments in particular and global society in general. Our social relations have primarily started emerging as of consumers and producers. The modern idea of development is conceived primarily as an economic one. It is understood as the primary indicator of national growth. It is narrowly defined in terms of GDP, national income, per capita income, and prosperity in general. Capital, concrete, and chip have become the cardinals of modern idea of development. Many discussions enquire into the relationship between law and the sustainability of the development-model are the backdrop of this critical commentary. As to how this modern development promises similar fruits to the many generations that are to come and how law can be an instrument in negating the ill-impact of this model of development, is the focal point of this research. What other factors are actually contributing to development?
