After decades of failed development plans for the South and the
mounting pressure of the environmental crisis all over the planet,
the Earth Summit was billed as a dramatic new approach to solving
the planet's problems. Recognizing that environment and development
are inseparable was a fundamental step forward, but development
quickly became much more important than environment. There was
little recognition of the underlying cause of today' s crisis - the
unsustainable economic models that most of the world is currently
following. The new order that emerged after Rio is identical to the
old one. If this new order were merely a warmed-over version of the
old, things might be expected to continue deteriorating at the
current pace, if not accelerate, since the new mantra is that the
environment may even be a profitable enterprise that will stimulate
development. What is more, the new order is slowly creating a
global management elite that is coopting the strongest people's
movements, the very movements that brought the crisis to public
attention. This book offers a comprehensive and critical overview
of the UNCEO process. Examining the origin, context, and the major
participants, this book also helps readers understand the
transformation of 'development' as well as the deep changes the
Green movement has undergone.
