Abstract: | This paper focuses on how livelihood and the question of development and environment in a globalising era should be examined.
It discusses various views in geography on the question of environment and development, and it explores the concept of sustainable
livelihood. It concludes that a geographical conceptualisation of ‘development and environment’ may profit from the discussion
on sustainable livelihood, provided that it does not become entangled in an actor-cum-local bias. Moreover, the diffusion
of non-equilibrium concepts may broaden the analysis of man-land relations and open the way to an analysis of globalisation
effects. Globalisation gives rise to new assortments of geographical entities and, as livelihoods adapt, they will shape constantly
shifting regions with specific man-land arrangements.
