Examining UN and World Commission documents pushing the values of sustainable development, Stenmark (political science, Uppsala U., Sweden) argues that international institutions and world governments fail to address the fundamental ethical values upon which their recommendations are based. He attempts to identify the ethical theories underlying the notion of sustainable development and to elucidate alternative ethics that would lead to differing conclusions of the proper environmental policies. These conclusions are applied to the problems of population size; proportion of land to be left uncultivated; the problem of endangered species; and the regulation of the use of animals and plants in agriculture.
