ISBN 971-8632-182 This study presents the outlines of an alternative theory and practice premised on the idea that the sustainability crisis is a direct consequence of development's contribution to disintegration. The disintegration is characterised by traces of human species becoming alienated from its spiritual connection to nature and community. The alternative theory offers a sustainable social practice that must decentralise and distribute economic power in ways that facilitate the restoration of this connection.   Singing the Same Song: Reflections of Two Generations of NGO Workers in the Philippines Ed.
