| Abstract | The paper argues that the recent, sudden popularity of the use of the concept of sustainable development in the sciences has the characteristics of a collective surge or fad. The first part of the paper examines the characteristics of fads and proposes a conceptual framework for collective behavior that incorporates fads or collective surges. The second part shows the applicability of this proposed collective behavior framework to understand the surge of sustainable development. | en |
