Description	The debate on a sustainable mode of development has gained increasing significance through the worldwide proliferation of conferences, seminars, reports, books, and journals as well as conventions, protocols, and institutions. The idea of "sustainable development" has been reified almost into an "ideology" in both developed and developing nations. Most international institutions, national governments, and local communities tend to base their development policies and programs on sustainability as one of the major objectives. There are divergent views over policy options and institutional challenges. Rethinking the premises of sustainable development is no longer an option but a necessity if one takes into account the urgency of preventing the "society from sailing by a wrong compass, at the expense of the environment" or implementing "decisions made on the basis of curious blend of ideology and bad economics". The chapter also presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book. Book Name: Sustainable Development Policy and Administration
