A Multidisciplinary Approach to Sustainable Development in the 21st Century

By Anuradha Jain (Ed.), Jyotika (Ed.) and Priya Jindal (Ed.)

With two decades behind us, the world has been a witness to a whole gamut of events that have had a significant impact on the economy, society, business and world relations. The world has endured the dot-com bubble burst, the 2008 global financial crisis and the European debt crisis, while the recent decade has seen an increased focus on development which is sustainable in essence. The threat of climate change, a churn in political relationships and the Covid-19 disruption to businesses, livelihoods, employment, health and education will redefine the rest of the century. In the backdrop of the Pandemic, it becomes imperative to rethink and redefine the strategies for sustainable development. This edited volume brings together research presented at a national conference organised by the Vivekananda School of Economics.
