ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ISSUE

Summary

In the end of 20^th and beginning of 21^st centuries establishing reasonable interrelations between economic development of the future generations of contemporary mankind and environment protection is a necessary condition. Mostly this deals with attempt of formulation of the new conception of international security in the recent period that has finally formed as sustainable development conception.

History of the term “sustainable development” has actually commenced from the declaration adopted at UN environmental conference (1972). Issues of sustainable development are extensively discussed at all national and international conferences though there is no generally accepted definition of the “sustainable development” substance, all interpret it in their own manner. Currently there are over 50 definitions of “sustainable development” and this number is growing. According to UN definition, sustainable development is the development of the society allowing satisfaction of the requirements of current generations so that not to harm those opportunities what they will leave to the future generations for satisfaction of their needs.

In one of UNESCO statements the objectives of sustainable development were specified as follows:

Growth of economic development;
Environment protection with respect of restoration of sustainable natural ecosystems;
Achievement of social equality.

Studying of sustainable development is based on analysis and forecasting of characteristics of various systems in certain time interval. Sustainable development, within the socioeconomic system implies that equilibrium of the qualities of such system and balance of social, economic and ecological interests at external impact are maintained.

Socioeconomic system can be described as unstable, as achievement of the interests balance in the subsystems – components of the general system is very difficult. Today bringing forward of economic interpretation of sustainable development can be regarded as reasonable as mostly, achievement of economic effectiveness due to serious ecologic changes becomes impossible.
