The Circular Era
Evaluating the Contemporary Practice of Sustainable Development
Description
The Circular Era: Evaluating the Contemporary Practice of Sustainable Development critically rethinks sustainability beyond the familiar language of green growth, recycling and technological efficiency.
Bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives, the volume examines how law, governance, migration, climate change, labour, agriculture, artificial intelligence and urban development intersect with questions of justice, rights and institutional responsibility. With particular attention to India and the wider Global South, the contributors expose a central tension of contemporary development: policies may be labelled sustainable while continuing
to reproduce inequality, displacement, ecological harm and exclusion. The book therefore argues that sustainability must be judged not merely by resource efficiency or technological innovation, but by its capacity to protect dignity, distribute benefits and burdens fairly, strengthen accountability and enable meaningful
participation.
