The concept implies that sustainable development should take a holistic approach towards notions of progress and give equal importance to non-economic aspects of wellbeing. The concept of GNH has often been explained by its four pillars: good governance, sustainable socio-economic development, cultural preservation, and environmental conservation. The GNH Index: What is it? The Gross National Happiness Index is a single number index developed from 33 indicators categorized under nine domains. The GNH Index is decomposable by any demographic characteristic and so is designed to create policy incentives for the government, NGOs and businesses of Bhutan to increase GNH. The 2010 GNH Survey: The Gross National Happiness survey was carried out in 2010 with representative samples taken at district and regional levels. GNH 2010 Index Part I

Waking from the Middle East Nightmare by Javier Solana Exit from comment view mode. Click to hide this space MADRID – The Middle East is caught in a seemingly endless spiral of instability. The possibility of military intervention in Syria, together with the deteriorating situation in Egypt since the army’s coup, has placed the region on a razor’s edge. Moreover, despite the changes in Iran since its presidential election in June, international negotiations over its nuclear ambitions remain a dead letter.

Israel, for its part, is exerting pressure in two ways. The Egyptian coup has already proved to have been a mistake.

Click to hide this space NEW YORK – During the height of the Iraq war, then-US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld spoke of “known unknowns” – foreseeable risks whose realization is uncertain. Today, the global economy is facing many known unknowns, most of which stem from policy uncertainty. In the United States, three sources of policy uncertainty will come to a head this autumn. The first two sources of uncertainty have already affected markets. So far, investors have been complacent about the risks posed by the looming budget fight. Uncertainties abound in other advanced economies as well. Political risks in the eurozone’s periphery include the collapse of Italy’s government and a fresh election as a result of former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s criminal conviction. These economies – the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) and others – were overhyped for too long. There are two major geopolitical uncertainties as well.
