The Idea of Sustainable Development and Possibility of its Realization

Author deals with two questions: about the substance of the sustainable development and about its realization. First, ‘non-discrepancy of interests’ in diachronic (between the following generations), synchronic (within the scope of only one generation) as well as in spatial dimensions (local, regional and global), and secondly a ‘uniform order’ are typical for the sustainable development. The integrated order is understood as a sum of ecological, economic, social, spatial, and political orders. Not-discrepancy of the interests and integrated order require the general acceptance of one system of values in a global scale. However, such axiological uniformity contradicts the idea of the liberal democracy which is developed now. Therefore, the idea of the sustainable development is realized with serious difficulties.
