Conservation, Sustainability, and Environmental Justice in India highlights the environmental challenges that India faces, largely due to high population and limited natural resources, and discusses the gap between the intent of environmental policies and the actualization of those policies. Contributors posit that the protection of the environment poses a fundamental challenge to the nation's desire to industrialize and develop more quickly, arguing that the conservation of biodiversity, protection of wetlands, prevention of environmental pollution, and promotion of ecological balance are all crucial in enabling sustainable development. This book poses the question of how large a role the judiciary system should play in the protection of the environment as a vital body that passes policies to promote conservation and sustainable development.

This book is broadly organized in three parts. The first section ('Enhancing and Managing Customer Value') focuses on presenting the state-of-knowledge in managing and enhancing customer value through extraction of consumer-centric knowledge from mountains of data that modern interactive applications generate. The extracted information can then be used to provide more personalized information to customers, provide more relevant information or products, and even to create innovative business processes to enhance overall value to customers. The second section in the book ('Computational Approaches for Business Processes') focuses on presenting several specific innovative computing artifacts and tools developed by researchers that are not yet commercially used. These represent cutting-edge thought and advances in business computing research that should soon find utility in real-world applications or as a tool to analyze real-world scenarios. The final section in the book ('Supporting Knowledge Enterprise') presents approaches and frameworks that focus on ability of an enterprise to analyze, build, and protect computing infrastructure that supports value-added dimensions to the enterprise's existing business processes.

This is a period-specific study extending from 1986 to 1999. The year 1986 was selected because that year India conducted two military exercises-"Operation Brasstacks" on the western border and "Operation Chequerboard" on the Himalayan heights. Pakistan misread the first operation and both countries were on the verge of another war. On the eastern front India had to face China's military power projection when Chinese forces intruded into the Sumdurong Chu valley, compelling India to deploy her mountain division on the Sikkim heights. However, the situations were contained, without needless sabre-rattling. Thus, the emanating threat perceptions made it imperative for India to enhance its defence expenditure and capital investment. Reality was contrary to prevailing perceptions. The Book establishes that aggravation of military threats to the security of a nation does not necessarily result in increased expenditure on arms purchase by that country; to reverse the same proposition, a decline in expenditure on arms purchase by a country does not necessarily mean an attenuation of the existing military threats perceived by that country.
