“If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.” – Voltaire
In his book, *Sustainable Development of the World*, Professor Radovanović presents an exceptionally relevant scientific work that encourages us to reflect on the perspectives of sustainable world development. The author emphasizes the lack of publications dedicated to the topic of sustainable development while laying the groundwork for serious engagement with this crucial subject.
Professor Tihomir Radovanović clearly outlines the key conditions for the future of humanity—space survival of Earth, the implementation of adequate sustainable education based on global sustainable development, and constructive religious upbringing. His main motive for writing this book is to point out the dangers of unsustainable development and to call for an urgent paradigm shift to restore balance and order to our disrupted society.
In the book, the author confronts the insufficient preparedness of the United Nations to tackle global challenges. He particularly highlights the current conflict between science and religion, viewing it as a source of unrest in a world drifting toward unsustainable development, threatening its very existence.
The author conducted an internal research project to create a scientific basis for exploring new insights into the survival of humanity. The key question he poses is how to organize global and national sustainable development to ensure efficiency and the secure survival of humankind. He emphasizes the importance of proper environmental protection, constructive international relations, and the critical role of education in this process.
The chapters of the book follow the evolution of humanity, the design of global and national sustainable development, developmental suggestions for various countries, and research findings. The author analyzes governance technology, pointing to the corruptive influence of the wealthy on formal governmental bodies.
The book not only identifies key challenges but also presents concrete proposals for sustainable development. The research results indicate the need for the implementation of adequate sustainable development, led by a reformed United Nations, with a focus on preserving nature and fostering constructive international relations.
This book not only defines the path to sustainable development but also lays the groundwork for future generations. The author emphasizes the importance of adequate education, which should encompass the theory of sustainable development as well as the exploration of national culture and tradition. Additionally, he sees a crucial role in constructive religious education, encouraging the moral shaping of beliefs in God, respect for peace, and the appreciation and exercise of personal freedoms.
“Sustainable Development of the World” represents a valuable contribution to the understanding and promotion of sustainable development, setting the foundation for responsibly guiding humanity toward a safer and more responsible future. This book, as an introduction, is part of the published three-part series on sustainable development by the same author, which for the first time completes the concept of sustainable local development as an integral component of the life-saving national and global sustainable development, accompanied by created models for essential planning and entrepreneurial education.
