Abstract

This brief is motivated by a set of questions asked within the context of the policy framework in India. Did the policy move in the direction of recognition of the different roles played by the environment? Were corresponding acts and rules passed to enable implementation? In this introductory chapter, we begin with a brief foray into the nature of development, an idea that has dominated the public space for at least the last seven decades. The next section examines the nature of policy responses, one particular subset of human responses to an issue. It also looks at the decision-making cycle and its internalisation of stakeholder responses through an iterative process. This analysis is then viewed in the context of linked sociological systems. The latter sections examine the development process in India and the evolution of environmental issues as areas of concern as development proceeded. Turning points in the evolution of environmental policy are examined and possible drivers identified.
