The Amalgamate Circulation for Sustainable Development: As the Methodology to Develop Governance and Accountability

Abstract

The concept of social development is often referred to as “human development.” Analysis of the diffusion of Sustainable Development (SD), as a new paradigm as adopted at the international level, can provide an interesting starting point to see how one of the most important and universally recognized concepts can give rise to different interpretations and applications. This diffusion is observed here through the mechanism of the circulation of legal models. This diffusion of SD has shown its dynamics through the vertical and horizontal circulation when observed through the mechanism of the circulation of legal models, the third type of circulation is the oblique circulation and we propose a fourth type of circulation the “amalgamate circulation”. This model is certainly an indefinite legal and political in nature, yet, it can demonstrate its viability in producing the paradigm shift from a mere theoretical development to a real one, taking into account the necessities of everybody, globally and in a synchronic and diachronic perspective. Thus, this model can come about as the principle methodologies of lawful development in the different legitimate frameworks which will introduce good governance, accountability and SD principles in different legitimate frameworks.
