A NEW DIMENSION FOR THE IDEA OF DEVELOPMENT: GREEN ECONOMY
Abstract :
Industrialization has gained momentum after the World War II. In the process, sustainable development as an offspring of the post-war era and the succeeding green economy have brought a new dimension to the notion of development. The order of green economy, which could be described as an idea of endowing the basic concepts such as economic growth, industrial production, consumption, prosperity and enrichment with a brand new meaning, holds that a worldwide income growth could be achieved via efficient use of renewable resources. At the same time, this new order suggests that public resources should be used for the welfare of humans and natural environment. This new discourse of green economy also suggests that new areas of employment called green jobs will emerge. As distinct from the long discussed endeavors in protecting nature and fighting against environmental pollution, the discourse of a new order as a counter action against industrialization and development is an extension of the ecological world view, which is itself an anti-thesis of the mechanical world view. In this context, the purpose of the study is reveal the content, strategies and innovations of the green economy against the traditional approaches towards growth and development
