environment’ indicates the aggregate total of all people, organisations and other forces that are outside the
power of industry but that may affect its production. According to an anonymous writer- “Just like the
universe, withhold from it the subset that describes the system and the rest is environment”. Therefore,
the financial, cultural, governmental, technological and different forces which work outside an enterprise
are part of its environment. The individual customers or facing enterprises as well as the management,
customer groups, opponents, media, courts and other establishments working outside an enterprise
comprise its environment.

Political Environment :
Environmental politics designate both the politics about the environment and an academic field of study
focused on three core components:
➷ The study of political theories and ideas related to the environment;
➷ The examination of the environmental stances of both mainstream political parties and environmental
social movements; and
➷ The analysis of public policymaking and implementation affecting the environment, at multiple geo-
political levels.
Neil Carter, in his foundational text Politics of the Environment (2009), suggests that environmental
politics is distinct in at least two ways: first, “it has a primary concern with the relationship between
human society and the natural world” (page 3); and second, “unlike most other single issues, it comes
replete with its own ideology and political movement” (page 5, drawing on Michael Jacobs, ed., Greening
the Millenium?, 1997).Further, he distinguishes between modern and earlier forms of environmental
politics, in particular conservationism and preservationism. Contemporary environmental politics “was
driven by the idea of a global ecological crisis that threatened the very existence of humanity.” And
“modern environmentalism was a political and activist mass movement which demanded a radical
transformation in the values and structures of [Link] concerns were rooted in the vast
social changes that took place in the United States after World War II. Although environmentalism can be
identified in earlier years, only after the war did it become a widely shared social priority. This began with
outdoor recreation in the 1950s, extended into the wider field of the protection of natural environments,
and then became infused with attempts to cope with air and water pollution and still later with toxic
chemical pollutants. After World War II, environmental politics became a major public concern.[3] The
Post-war era resulted in the ‘Great Acceleration’, which saw a dramatic increase in industrialization,
agriculture, and consumption of resources leading to a new geological era of environmental deficit.[4]
The development of environmentalism in the United Kingdom emerged in this period following the great
London smog of 1952 and the Torrey Canyon oil spill of [Link], the 1972 United Nations
Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm marked the entry of environmental politics into the
international agenda, giving rise to new environmental political thought and its incorporation into
policymaking.[6] Since then, environmentalism has taken shape as its own political ideology and has had
numerous variations, from more radical theories like ‘deep ecology’ which seeks to prioritize
environmental needs to more reformist ideologies which view environmental damage as an externality.
Relationship Between Government And Business In
India.
[Link] framework :
The Indian government sets the rules and regulations that govern the business environment properly. So,
this includes laws related to taxation, labor, environment, consumer protection, and competition, among
others. Businesses always need to follow these regulations to operate legally in the country.
2. Licensing and permits:
The government issues licenses and permits for various business activities. Such as setting up
manufacturing plants, operating in specific sectors, and exporting goods. So, this ensures that businesses
adhere to the necessary standards and contribute positively to the economy.
3. Infrastructure Development :
One of the major responsibilities of the government is building infrastructure. Such as roads, ports,
airports, and electricity supplies. That is all necessary for businesses to operate efficiently.
Infrastructure projects commonly receive support from PPPs, in which the government and private
businesses split the risks and rewards.
4. Economic policies :
The Indian government’s economic policies. Such as fiscal and monetary policies. Basically, these
policies influence the overall business environment. The effectiveness and efficiency of businesses are
directly affected by these police’s potential effects on interest rates, inflation, and currency rates.
5. Public sector enterprises :
The government owns and operates several public sector enterprises (PSEs) in key sectors, such as
banking, energy, and transportation. These PSEs often compete with private businesses, creating a mixed
economy where public and private entities coexist.
6. Subsidies and incentives :
The government provides various subsidies and incentives to promote specific industries to encourage
investments in underdeveloped regions. These can include tax breaks for specific regions to attract the
new industry and promote employment, low-interest loans, and grants, which help businesses grow and
create employment opportunities.
7. Foreign investment :
By implementing investor-friendly rules and offering incentives, the government significantly contributes
to attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) in India. FDI is crucial for economic growth, bringing in
capital, technology, and expertise.
8. Trade Policies :
Basically, the government’s trade policies, such as import and export regulations, tariffs, and trade
agreements, directly impact businesses involved in international trade. These policies’ goal is to balance
protecting domestic industries and promoting global competitiveness. So that you can tackle the
monopoly type of [Link] and government relationships in India are characterized by a
combination of cooperation and competition, with both parties collaborating to foster a business-friendly
climate and promote economic progress.
Provisions of Indian Constitution Applicable to Business :
1. Preamble of Constitution and Business:
The Indian Constitution starts with a preamble, which outlines the main objectives of the Constitution.
Whenever the judiciary is in doubt about any particular provision of the Constitution it refers to the
preamble to find out the real intentions of the framers of the Constitution. The preamble reads:“We, The
People of India, have solemnly resolved to constitute India into a Sovereign, Socialist, and Secular
Democratic Republic and to secure to all its citizens:
2. Fundamental Rights and Business:
These rights were finalised by the committee of the Constituent Assembly headed by Sardar Vallabhbhai
[Link] fundamental rights are superior to ordinary laws; they can be altered only through constitutional
amendments. Originally, the fundamental Rights were seven but in 1978, through the 44 th amendment of
the constitution, the right to property was removed from the list of fundamental rights
3. Directive Principles of State Policy:
The Directive Principles of State Policy which have been enshrined in Part IV of the Constitution aim at
realizing the high ideals of justice, liberty, equality and fraternity as outlined in the preamble to the
constitution. There are ideas which are to inspire the state to work for the common good of the people and
establish social and economic democracy in the [Link] phrase ‘Directive Principles of State Policy’
means the principles which the states should keep in mind while framing the laws and formulating policy.
Articles 39 to 51 contain the various directive principles. These principles are amalgamation of socialistic,
Gandhian and liberal principles.
4. Constitutional Provisions Regarding Trade, Commerce
and Intercourse within the Territory of India:
Articles 301 to 307 of Constitution of India deals with the constitutional provisions regarding Trade and
Commerce. The framers of the Indian Constitution were fully conscious of the importance of maintaining
the economic unity of the Union of [Link] movement and exchange of goods throughout the territory
of India was essential for the Economic Unity of the country which alone could sustain the progress of the

large number of Indian states which in exercise of their sovereign powers, had created customs barriers
between themselves and the rest of India, thus hindering at several points which constituted the
boundaries of those Indian states, the free flow of [Link] the main object of Article 301 was
obviously to encouraging the free-flow of stream of trade and commerce throughout the territory of India.

transportation such as by land, air or [Link] term ‘intercourse’ means movement of goods from one
