Description

This article illustrates the ‘‘new political ecology’’ approach articulating a new development paradigm, notably for the post-crisis Western democracies. By linking the economy to society, human development is focused on the reduction of inequality in its different dimensions, within and between generations. This reduction, which implies the identification and the measurement of inequalities in living conditions, can be obtained through the expansion of people’s capabilities.
