Ids Companions to Development |
| Description: |
The first volume of IDS Companions to Development Studies focuses on pivotal writing emerging from the IDS fellowship during the last 50 years. It includes five topics: perspectives and paradigms, debunking myths, development policy, gender and international perspectives, and policy, as well as names like Seers, Singer, Lipton, Reg Green. |
| Synopsis: |
As a number of developing countries gained independence in the 1960s, there was an optimism regarding possibilities for accelerating economic and social advance in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The Institute of Development Studies at the University of Sussex, UK, was established in 1966 and rapidly became a centre of new and challenging ideas about ending poverty in these regions. This book brings together 20 chapters written by pioneers of international development, fascinating for their early challenges to orthodox thinking and for their boldness in suggesting alternatives. Covering five key dimensions: perspectives and paradigms; debunking myths; development policy; gender and international perspectives and policy, each piece has a new introduction by Sir Richard Jolly, indicating its impact on policy over the years and its enduring relevance for the challenges of our times. |
