Indian Constitution and Sustainable Economic Development: A Doctrinal and Jurisprudential Analysis
Abstract
Adopted in 1950, the Indian Constitution includes provisions that create a basis for economic development that is sustainable. This predates modern conversations about sustainable development at the global level. This study asks: Which parts of the Constitution back sustainable development? How do these parts fit with today's ideas about sustainable development and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?
