Bibliography. Index. The thematic articles over a period of time on different aspects of human development well being and globalization are infused with an alternative multidisciplinary and cross cultural perspective. An attempt has been made in this book to rethink concepts ideas and issues and suggest the need for consideration of broader and multidimensional meanings of development. There is a profound dissatisfaction and confusion about narrow economic and social concepts and indicators of development and social progress. The human development approach associated with Amartya Sen has offered a remarkable course correction in terms of focusing not just on income but on capabilities to enable one to choose and live a valuable life which is worth living. It is argued in the book that capabilities can be even more fulfilling if they lead to real empowerment and multidimensional well being. Well being is conceived not as self centered happiness but more in the sense of human flourishing and virtues. In the context of neo liberal globalization and its malaise which is manifest in global warming and climate crisis the present global economic crisis as well as the crisis of meaning and purpose of our common humanity ideas have been put forth for alternative globalization in the form of the world social forum as opposed to the world economic forum. More ethically sound reconsiderations of old assumptions about integration of the world our planet's future and global well being have been explored. 248 pp.
