Development could be explained as “fierce” process, with “Blood, sweat, and tears”. It is the world in which wisdom demands toughness. (Amartya Sen, Development as freedom, chap2.)
According
to Anna Dickson, Development is “an ongoing process of qualitatively
ameliorated social, political, and economic change” (Robert O’Brien, Marc
William, Global Economic Change).
Characteristics:
- Political freedom (free and fair elected Institutions, Humans rights)
- Economic Facilities (Production, consumption, Exchange)
- Social Opportunities (Good jobs, Higher Education, Health Care)
- Transparency guaranty (No corruption or Fiscal Paradise)

There
are many different definitions of sustainable development.
“Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generation to meets their own needs.”
There
are three interdependent pillars of sustainable development:
- Environmental
- Economical
- Social
