Synopsis The work aims to conceptualize the three broad dimension of modern life viz., human rights, development and environment. It is a bolt attempt to bring the three open-ended themes into a theory to visualize the emerging jurisprudential drift. The book is welcome because of its all-inclusive scheme in focusing the modern style of life and the role of law in the changing legal order. The study evokes interesting issues calling for more systematic research on various sub-themes. The assumption appeared to evolve a convergence of jurisprudence to take on the twenty-first century space. An endeavor to focus issues of human rights and development from the perspectives of food security, millennium developmental goals to freedom from want, freedom from fear were made with reference to socio-legal dialectics. The illustration of India as a developing nation has been scholarly depicted. The work is extremely satisfactory from the point of view of analysis of those egalitarian constructs of developmental plan, policy and the aspiration of India to forge progress with the constitutional commitments of justice social, economic and political to its vast population under diverse cultural and differing economic levels. The work is a major contribution to the existing literature on the subject and would be of relevance to scholars of human rights, development and environmental law and also to those particularly engaged in the struggle for human rights and sustainable developmental.
