Traditionally, development has been rooted in ideologies and
assumptions prevalent in the developed world and in practices and
strategies adopted by leading industrial nations. However,
historically, eclectic ideas and approaches often clash with
existing long-established notions of progress and modes of
realizing social and economic change. Managing Development in a
Globalized World: Concepts, Processes, Institutions explores this
topic by incorporating ideas and interpretations that have
previously been neglected or given inadequate attention in the
discourse on developing countries. It underscores development as a
continuous process that must be supported by sound policies and
efficient management, supplying a wider understanding of the field.
The authors argue that the application of innovative development
techniques and best practices is essential for obtaining optimum
results in meeting the needs of society. They examine the style of
managing development with a new perspective that links the
phenomenon with changing demands and the interplay of
internal/external actors and a host of stakeholders. An exploration
of key sectors in development provides clear comprehension of
problems and solutions. A careful synthesis of
theoretical/conceptual and empirical literature, the book assesses
real-world situations and provides insight into the operational
dynamics of development policies, programs, and institutions. It
focuses on goals, values, and dynamics of development management
that are undergoing rapid changes and continue to be enhanced to
alleviate poverty and improve living standards in an era of
globalization and inter-regional and inter-institutional synergies.
It highlights best practices essential for the efficient and
effective delivery of human development services that are designed
and put in place to obtain optimum results in meeting the needs of
society.
