Answer 1

To start simplifying the terms
1-Economic development is to improve and sustain living standards, education , health & environment protection.
2-Social responsibity is how the state, government, corporation, organization or individual behaves responsibility to society.

Each entity of society mentioned above,plays different roles in the society's economic development, and their impacts might even influence the global economies.

Yes, they can go hand in hand, when they share the same values- but having different objectives make them clash.
Individuals and corporations produce for profits, but maybe their scheme of production is harmlful to the environment. The govt might use his authority to enforce environment laws. Organizations such as PETA, Greenpeace , or individuals who are activists might bring more awareness to those bad schemes eg; the prospect of animal/species extinction through largescale hunting for fur or threats of global warming. It is also up to the public in general to refuse products made from those unethical schemes, so producers will invest in research & devlepment to find safe production methods. Innovations also encourages cost effective methods that further encourage economic development.

You can develop and expend these exemples if u need to write an essay.
