The Illusion of Progress: Unsustainable Development in International Law and Policy Book

A penetrating, holistic and persuasive critique of what "sustainable development" actually amounts to. The author argues that despite the rhetoric of socially and environmentally sustainable development, the real issues are being sidestepped or manipulated in international policy and law. The crucial questions are not even asked. Analyzing the main areas of concern - economic growth, market structure, trade, aid, debt, security and sovereignty - he shows that the entire development structure and the underpinnings of the debate are taking the world down a quite different path - the very path that commitment to sustainability was meant to reverse. The (green) wool is being pulled over the eyes of the public.Read More
