| Description: | Sustainable development seems assured of a place in the litany of development truisms, but to what extent does it express convergent, rather than divergent, intellectual traditions? The constant reference to ‘sustainability’ as a desirable objective has served to obscure the contradictions that ‘development’ implies for the environment. Instead of bringing intellectual rigour to the discussion of environment and development, we frequently encounter moral convictions as substitutes for thought. However important these convictions, in partnership with rigorous analysis, they are no substitute for it. |
