About The Book

Post cold war era has witnessed changing trends in security. The traditional concept of security is now being replaced by non traditional security which stresses upon broader view entailing vast concerns of social, political, economic and environmental issues leading to the comprehensive security which is becoming a more popular version of security. This shift in security paradigm is being felt in South Asia also, which comprises of world's 1.5 population, which remains a deprived and a poor region because of the huge defence spendings. But now there is realization that the region needs to divert its resources from military towards economic and social uplift of the people, thus the stress from high politics to low politics. Both Pakistan and India need to go for more cooperative relations as to bring peace in the region which in turn will bring comprehensive security leading to the betterment of the people of South Asia. Sustainable development is a pattern of resource use that aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for future generations. The term was used by the Brundtland Commission which coined what has become the most oftenquoted definition of sustainable development as development that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." In present book has critically examined the interrelationship between the Security and Sustainable Development in South Asia. Attempt has been made to keep the book current, concise and readable.
