SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİRLİK VE SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİR KALKINMA:BİR YAZIN TARAMASI1

Sürdürülebilirliğe ilişkin kaygılar, ekonomik kalkınma tartışmaları için yeni bir gündem oluşturmuş ve zaman içinde bu tartışmaların sürdürülebilir kalkınma eksenine oturmasına neden olmuştur. Ayrıca, sürdürülebilirlik tartışmaları, neoklasik iktisadın çevre ve doğal kaynaklara yönelik geleneksel bakış açısında bir kaymaya neden olmuş, yeni iktisadi akımların ortaya çıkmasına da zemin hazırlamıştır. Bu akımlar; neoklasik iktisadın bir alt kolu olarak değerlendirilen çevre ve doğal kaynaklar iktisadı ile bu akıma tepki olarak ortaya çıkan çevrebilimsel iktisat akımıdır. Bu çalışma, sürdürülebilirlik ve sürdürülebilir kalkınma kavramlarının tarihsel gelişim sürecini inceleyerek, bu kavramlar üzerindeki tartışmaları kuşaklararası eşitlik, kaynak dağılımında etkinlik, girdilerin ikame edilebilirliği gibi kavramlar üzerinden değerlendirmekte ve bu tartışmaların günümüzde geldiği noktayı ortaya koymaktadır. İktisadi akımların sürdürülebilirlik tartışmasındaki konumlanışları bu incelemenin sonunda açık biçimde ortaya çıkmaktadır. Burada yapılan inceleme, sürdürülebilirlik yazınında önümüzdeki dönemde değinilmesi gereken konulara ilişkin de bir görüntü sunmaktadır. Buna göre, sürdürülebilirlik ile teknolojik yenilikler arasındaki ilişkiyi ve girdiler arasındaki ikame edilebilirlik ilişkisini konu alan kuramsal ve görgül çalışmaların yanı sıra, zayıf ve güçlü sürdürülebilirlik ölçütlerine ilişkin görgül çalışmalar ve ülke örneklerine gereksinim bulunduğu belirlenmiştir.

SUSTAINABILITY AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: A SURVEY OF THE LITERATURE

The concerns about sustainability set the new agenda for the debate on economic development and eventually induced the emergence of sustainable development as a focal point for these debates. Besides, debates on sustainability caused a shift in the conventional neoclassical perspective on the environment and natural resources and pave the way for the emergence of new economic schools such as environmental and natural resources economics and ecological economics which appeared in response to the former. Examining historical development process of sustainability and sustainable development concepts, this study reviews the debates on these concepts, in particular, focusing on intergenerational equity, efficiency in resource allocation and input substitutability, and reveals the current situation and positions held by economic schools of thought in these debates. Furthermore, this review presents a list of topics needed to be addressed in the future researches. In addition to theoretical and empirical studies investigating the relationship between sustainability and technological innovations, and substitutability relationship between inputs; the need for empirical research on weak and strong sustainability criteria and country studies are pinned down.
