Sustainable development and neo-liberal globalization in international politics: competing paradigms defining the waste management problem

EN
The unsustainable production and consumption patterns leading to a problem with waste management require technical and administrative solution on a local, regional or national level. Efforts may be challenged by processes of globalisation and international politics. The author discusses the contradiction between the United Nation’s focus on sustainable development and the World Trade Organization’s emphasis on economic growth and trade liberalisation, and addresses the question whether development will become more unsustainable when current development paradigms are not changed.

Niezrównoważone wzorce produkcyjne i konsumpcyjne, wywołujące problemy związane z zarządzaniem odpadami, wymagają rozwiązań technicznych i administracyjnych na poziomie lokalnym, regionalnym oraz krajowym. Wszelkie wysiłki mogą napotkać wyzwania wynikające z procesów globalizacji oraz polityki międzynarodowej. Autor omawia koordynację pomiędzy koncentracją Organizacji Narodów Zjednoczonych na zrównoważonym rozwoju a naciskiem Światowej Organizacji Handlu na wzrost gospodarczy oraz liberalizację handlu. Na tym tle sformułowano pytanie, czy współczesne tendencje rozwojowe nie staną się bardziej niezrównoważone, jeśli obecny paradygmat rozwoju nie ulegnie zmianom.
