Presently, the environment and environment that surrounds us is called Pariran. The balance of all the components in the environment is necessary in a certain proportion, but due to man's desire for rapid development and tampering with nature, this balance is slowly ending.The ever-increasing population on Earth is becoming a major cause of concern in the world today, as population growth has affected almost all countries in some way and has hindered their progress. The pressure of population is not much in the developed countries, but the situation is very pathetic in the developing and underdeveloped countries. This rate of population growth is worrying, because despite the continuous growth, most of our population is living low standard of living. Notwithstanding the unprecedented increase in food production, nutrition is not available to all. The situation is getting pathetic. Resources are running out, there is energy crisis, shortage of drinking water and environment is polluted. Due to increasing population, deforestation of forests, unnecessary exploitation of ground water, proliferation of residential colonies, lack of energy, etc. have created problems. वर्तमान में हम जिस वातावरण एवं परिवेष द्वारा चारों ओर से घिरे है उसे पर्यारण कहते है। पर्यावरण में सभी घटकों का निष्चित अनुपात में संतुलन आवष्यक है, किन्तु मनुष्य की तीव्र विकास की अभिलाषा एवं प्रकृति के साथ छेड़छाड़ के कारण यह संतुलन धीरे-धीरे समाप्त हो रहा है। पृथ्वी पर निरंतर बढ़ती जनसंख्या आज विष्व में चिंता का प्रमुख कारण बन रही है, क्योंकि जनसंख्या वृद्धि ने लगभग सभी देषों को किसी न किसी प्रकार से प्रभावित किया है और उनकी प्रगति में बाधाएं उत्पन्न की है। जनसंख्या का दबाव विकसित देषों में तो कुछ अधिक नहीं है, किंतु विकासषील व अविकसित देषों में स्थिति बहुत अधिक दयनीय है। जनसंख्या वृद्धि की यह दर चिंताजनक है, क्योंकि निरंतर विकास के बावजूद भी हमारी अधिकांष जनसंख्या निम्न जीवन स्तर जी रही है। खाद्यान उत्पादन में अपूर्व वृद्धि के बावजूद सभी को पोषक उपलब्ध नहीं है। अधिक स्थिति दयनीय हो रही है। संसाधन समाप्त हो रहे है, ऊर्जा का संकट है, पेयजल की कमी और पर्यावरण प्रदुषित है। बढ़ती जनसंख्या के कारण वनों का विनाष भूमिगत जल का अनावष्यक दोहन, आवासीय काॅलोनियों का प्रसार, ऊर्जा की कमी आदि समस्याएँ उत्पन्न हो गई है।

A General Theory of Economic Development is yet another attempt to demystify the underlining causes of underdevelopment and economic stagnation, and to offer a theory of economic development, which has proved to be an elusive quest for most of the world economies. Apart from a handful of developed economies, most of the other world economies are merely also-rans in the quest for economic development. In fact, even those economies that have been growing at respectable rates over the last decade or two, such as China, cannot yet claim to be developed countries. It is in this backdrop that Sung-Hee Jwa has written this book that offers a theory of economic development. It is a daring attempt as it departs from the standard growth models and development theories and challenges the conventional wisdom. The theory put forth in the book, according to the author, is not only applicable to the developing, or underdeveloped, countries, but is equally applicable to the developed countries, hence meriting the word ‘general’ in the title.

The Developed Countries

The author draws attention to the development of crisis phenomena in most of the developed countries of the world. Possible scenarios for resolving the growing crisis contradictions are briefly analyzed. It is noted that quite serious armed conflicts are not excluded, in which a drop in the standard of living of the population of many countries of the world is inevitable. It is noted that in this scenario, the developed agriculture will contribute to the minimum inevitable losses among the population of those countries that will be involved in the conflict. In a scenario in which armed clashes will not be a serious enough problem for developed countries, there will be a problem of a decrease in the number of the indigenous population of these countries, their replacement by a population with other cultural traditions, or, in general, a critical decrease in population density. The author analyzes the reasons for this phenomenon and comes to the conclusion that it is possible to reverse the current trend by involving the population in the development of agriculture on modern principles.

The book covers a wide field, touching on almost all aspects of popula¬tion change on a world-wide scale. It discusses, using world and country data, the relationships between demographic and socio-economic variables, and elaborates on" their relative importance in the determination of population problems which confront the world as a whole and nations individually. Policies designed to alleviate these problems are discussed with an emphasis on those related to population control. The first chapter is entitled "Population Growth: Past and Prospective" and reviews the various parameters associated with population change in the past and in the future. It touches upon the concept of a stable population in order to show the elements which cause a population to change (i.e. remove it from its stable condition). The main elements of change, population growth, migration, mortality and natality are discussed individually. The chapter is concluded by a description of the main differences in these elements and other socio-economic conditions as they exist in the less-developed and developed countries.

Within a short span of time a number of economic blocs have emergedon the world horizon. In this race, all countriedeveloped, developingand underdeveloped-are included. Members of the North America FreeTrade Agreement (NAITA) and the European Economic Community(EEC) are primarily of the developed countries, while the EconomicCooperation Organization (ECO) and the Association of South EastAsian Nations (ASEAN) are of the developing and underdevelopedAsian countries.The developed countries are scrambling to create hegemonies throughthe General Agreement on Tariff and Trade (GATT). In these circumstances,economic cooperation among Muslim countries should be onthe top of their agenda.Muslim countries today constitute about one-third of the membershipof the United Nations. There are around 56 independentMuslim states with a population of around 800 million coveringabout 20 percent of the land area of the world.

Wto Agreements

The World Trade Organization (WTO), established on 1 January 1995 as a successor to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), has played an important role in promoting global free trade. The implementation of its agreements, however, has not been smooth and easy. In fact this has been particularly difficult for developing countries, since they are expected to be on a level playing field with the developed countries. After more than a decade of existence, it is worth looking at the WTO’s impact on developing countries, particularly Muslim countries. This paper focuses mainly on the performance of merchandise trade of Muslim countries after they joined the WTO. I first analyze their participation in world merchandise trade and highlight their trade characteristics in general. This is then followed by a short discussion on the implications of WTO agreements on Muslim countries and some recommendations on how to face this challenge.

Developed World

The single greatest challenge facing managers in the developed countries of the world is to raise the productivity of knowledge and service workers. This challenge, which will dominate the management agenda for the next several decades, will ultimately determine the competitive performance of companies. Even more important, it will determine the very fabric of society and the quality of life of every industrialized nation. … Unless this challenge is met, the developed world will face increasing social tensions, increasing polarization, increasing radicalization, possibly even class war.

The term ‘ecodisaster’ may be defined as ‘a global catastrophe of the human species’. Any ecodisasters occurring in the near future will, almost certainly, be caused, directly or indirectly, by the present overpopulation of the world, accompanied by unwise and irresponsible disregard of environmental deterioration.The suggestion is made here that Man's first and, it is to be hoped, last, ecodisaster may already have begun. Although not dramatic, it is taking the form of a steady decline in the standard of living nearly everywhere, coupled with massive pollution, and widespread malnutrition in the under-developed countries of the world. It will persist until world population eventually becomes adjusted to environmental resources.It is ironical that control of the pests and diseases which have inflicted so much misery on mankind in the past, should have helped to engender the present population explosion with all the hunger and privation that accompany it in the under-developed regions of the world.

Main Components

The article analyzes the modern concept of human capital and its role in the socioeconomic development of society. The structure of human capital in Russia and the state of its main components have been studied. The necessity of creating mechanisms for significantly more effective use of the intellectual potential of scientific and educational institutions of the country, as well as of the formation of a national innovation system, is shown. It is demonstrated that according to the World Bank estimates, today the national human capital in developing countries accounts for more than half of their national wealth, and in the developed countries of the world – for about 70-80%. Thus, human capital is now considered as the most important economic category, the importance of which will significantly increase in the 21st century. The author believes that it is advisable to use the positive experience of the functioning of such a system in China.
