Sustainable Development.
Written on 24 March 2007
We have made an advance in our understanding of the capstone project this week.
Danny and Patrick in researching economic development (one of our four original goals for the international system) realized that what we are attempting to describe is sustainable development.
The definition for sustainable development has not been defined quite in the way that we are defining it, but it is not much of a stretch.
We really prefer to think of it as more of a clarification than anything else. This means that we saying that in order for development to be sustainable, it requires economic development, good governance, environmental sustainability, and cultural sensitivity.
This makes perfect sense, and wraps everything up into an easy-to-explain definition. Consequently, we can now define the project as ‘establishing a viable international system that promotes and maintains sustainable development.’
Exciting stuff!
