The Dilemma of Sustainability in the Age of Globalization: A Quest for a Paradigm of Development (Globalization and Its Costs)

Mohamed El-Kamel Bakari

4.9/5 (13189 ratings)

Description:This book offers an exhaustive overview of the different political, social, and intellectual circumstances that paved the way for the inception of sustainable development. It particularly traces the evolution of this project in a hostile context dominated by neo-liberal capitalism and globalization. By means of an in-depth critical comparative analysis of the two phenomena of sustainable development and globalization, this book highlights aspects of both their divergence and divergence on different issues such as development, man-nature relationship, and society. This approach is distinctive mainly because it comprises both the theoretical and the actual aspects of clash and affinity between globalization and sustainability and spotlights some potential harmonization between the two at different levels. The book covers gaps in the contemporary literature that heightened the need for an in-depth analysis of the viability of implementing the project of sustainable development in a context of neoliberal capitalism. The main objectives of this book are manifold: First, it investigates to what extent the project of sustainable development is a challenge to the prevailing socio-economic paradigm of development and whether globalization has supported or hampered the efforts to implement this project. Secondly, it aims at determining and discussing the aspects of affinity and incompatibility between these two paradigms of development. Thirdly, this book aims at pinpointing and analyzing the root causes of the current impasse that sustainable development has reached with special focus on the potential of some new initiatives to revive this project.Given the highly interdisciplinary nature of its topic, a holistic approach is utilized throughout this book, integrating historical, literary, economic, political, and scientific material. The first part, therefore, is largely based on a critical comparative analysis of the two vying paradigms of development, i.e. globalization and sustainable development, by means of a thorough juxtaposition of their theoretical and ideological underpinnings and backed up by lucid examples, statistics, and case-studies. In the other parts, the methodology of analysis consists mainly in comparing and contrasting the two paradigms' approaches to growth, nature, and society, among other elements, and discussing the way these two approaches systematically converge.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
