- Title
Immediacy and Sustainable Development: The Perspective of Youth.
- Authors

- Abstract
International development and in particular the concept of sustainable development have mid to long term time frames. Traditional international development studies have historically focused on macro level economic growth with an emphasis on infrastructure and grand scale public policy formation. It should be noted that the discipline has evolved and notions such as participatory development have entered the theoretical mainstream to complement macro level public policy concerns. Nevertheless, the time frame continues to be mid to long term. A youth perspective helps us explore the poignancy of immediacy for this important demographic group. Development for youth has a much shorter time frame than it does at the public policy level. The present paper explores how the concept of human security, and a youth perspective can help bridge the disconnect between mainstream international development studies, public policy discourse on sustainable development, and short term needs and realities of millions of people all over the world.
