14.SustainableDevelopmentandGlobalization

SustainabledevelopmentisdefinedinOurCommonFuture,theReportofthe1987WorldCommissionontheEnvironmentandDevelopment(theBrundtlandReport),as"developmentthatmeetstheneedsofthepresentwithoutcompromisingtheabilityoffuturegenerationstomeettheirownneeds".Ratherthanpredictinggreaterenvironmentaldecayandhardshipinaworldofever-diminishingresources,theReportforesees"thepossibilityofaneweraofeconomicgrowth,basedonpoliciesthatsustainandexpandthenaturalenvironmentalresourcebase".

Economicgrowthandmodernizationhavehistoricallybeenpursuedaggressivelybynation-states,asameansnotonlyofsatisfyingbasicmaterialneeds,butalsoofprovidingtheresourcesnecessarytoimprovequalityoflifemoregenerally(forexamplewithrespecttoaccesstohealth-careandeducation).However,mostformsofeconomicgrowthmakedemandsontheenvironment,bothbyusing(sometimesfinite)naturalresourcesandbygeneratingwasteorpollution.Thisjeopardizesgrowthforfuturegenerations.Thephilosophyofsustainabledevelopmentattemptstoresolvethisdilemmabyinsistingthatdecisionstakenateverylevelthroughoutsocietyshouldhavedueregardtotheirpossibleenvironmentalconsequence.Inthisway,therightkindofeconomicgrowth—basedonbiodiversity,thecontrolofenvironmentallydamagingactivity,andreplenishmentofrenewableresourcessuchasforests—isgenerated,andthiscanprotectorevenenhancethenaturalenvironment.Present-dayeconomicdevelopmentisthereforerenderedcompatiblewithinvestmentinenvironmentalresourcesforthefuture.

Althoughitisunderstandablyhardtofindauthoritieswhoarepreparedtoargueagainsttheideaofsustainabledevelopment(itisinfactwidelyapplaudedbyalmostallgovernmentsandtheiragencies),itisoftendifficultforgovernments(whichtendtobeaccountabletoelectoratesovershort-termperiodssuchasfiveyearsorso)toacceptthepoliticalconsequencesofpromotingsustainabledevelopment,forexamplebyimposingtollsorfinesfortheuseofcarsincities(ontheprinciplethatthe"pollutershouldpay").Moreover,theenvironmentissharedandislargelyapublicgood,sothattoaconsiderableextentitsprotectionrequirescollectiveaction.Inpractice,therefore,thishasprovedhardtoorganizebecauseoftheusualfree-riderproblems.
