　　As a branch of sociology， development studies itself is both
interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary， mainly focusing on issues
related to developing countries. Its emergence in the second half
of the 20th century is in a large part due to increasing concern
about economic prospect for the third world after decolonization.
Immediately after World War II， development economics， a branch of
economics， arose out of previous studies. By 1960s， an increasing
number of development economists realized that economics alone is
inadequate in meeting challenging issues such as political
effectiveness and provision of education. Development studies
appeared as a result of this， initially aiming at exploring the
inter-relationship between economics and politics.
　　The teachers and students in College of Humanities and
Development Studies （COHD） of China Agricultural University （CAU）
have long been involved in the activities of teaching， research and
practice related to development studies. During this process， they
have accumulated huge amount of valuable experience and expertise.
This textbook has selected the most common 10 topics of this field.
We hope the compilation of this book may assist undergraduate
students from both linguistic and professional dimensions.

章節(jié)摘錄

版權(quán)頁：   插圖：   According to Hasna, sustainability is a process which tells of a development of all aspects of human life affecting sustenance. It means resolving the conflict between the various competing goals, and involves the simultaneous pursuit of economic prosperity, environmental quality and social equity famously known as three dimensions, hence it is a continually evolving process; the "journey" （the process of achieving sustainability） is of course vitally important, but only as a means of getting to the destination （the desired future state）. However, the "destination" of sustainability is not a fixed place in the normal sense that we understand of destination. Instead, it is a set of wishful characteristics of a future system. Green development is generally differentiated from sustainable development in that Green development prioritizes what its proponents consider to be environmental sustainability over economic and cultural considerations. Proponents of Sustainable Development argue that it provides a context in which to improve overall sustainability where cutting edge Green development is unattainable. For example, a cutting edge treatment plant with extremely high maintenance costs may not be sustainable in regions with fewer financial resources. An environmentally ideal plant that is shut down due to bankruptcy is obviously less sustainable than one that is maintainable by the community, even if it is somewhat less effective from an environmental standpoint. Some research activities start from this definition to argue that the environment is a combination of nature and culture. The Network of Excellence "Sustainable Development in a Diverse World", sponsored by the European Union, integrates multidisciplinary capacities and interprets cultural diversity as a key element of a new strategy for sustainable development.
