This paper attempts at reflecting on social sustainability from the perspective of development studies understood as a "field" cutting across several traditionally defined social sciences and prefiguring a unified "ecosocial-politycal" economy. For the author of the paper the very concept of sustainability evokes steadiness, a combination of regularity and perennity. He points to the fact that in its present form the debate on sustainability in general and social sustainability in particular can be traced back to the "environmental revolution" of the sixties, whereas social sustainability appears as a concern related to the internal organisation of each human society and of the world community of increasingly interdependent nations takes as a whole. The author introduces a distinction between partial sustainabilities and overall (whole) sustainability and present the sustainability criteria to be met in order to archieve a healthy genuine sustainable development.
