Arresting ‘Development’ as Environmental Governance: An Empirical Assessment
Valuing ecology on the basis of its contributions to environment protection is getting less social acceptance in contemporary development governance. Although, there are multiple models and approaches to tackle the question of ecology, the development governance still prefers to put economic value on ecology. The use value of ecology is becoming an administrative instrument, which often undermines the environment. The impact of this changing perception of ecology is well refl ected in natural resource governance. It has become an issue of satisfying individual needs rather than sustainable utilization of resources. This governance is heading towards the project of arresting development; indeed it is becoming an unacceptable solution.
