The capability approach developed by Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen has
become an important new paradigm in thinking about development.
However, despite its theoretical and philosophical attractiveness,
it has been less easy to measure or to translate into policy. This
volume addresses these issues in the context of poverty and
justice. Part I offers a set of conceptual essays that debate the
strength of the often misunderstood individual focus of the
capability approach. Part II investigates the techniques by which
we can measure and compare capabilities, and how we can integrate
them into poverty comparisons and policy advice. Finally, Part III
looks at how we can apply the capability approach to different
regions and contexts. Written by a team of international scholars,
The Capability Approach is a valuable resource for researchers and
graduate students concerned with the debate over the value of the
capability approach and its potential applications.
