International Development in a Changing World introduces key
issues, debates and ideas about development in the 21st century.
Uniquely interweaving international relations and development
studies, the authorial team examines the contested concepts of
poverty, inequality and livelihood, and the emergence of 'new
powers' that will affect the architecture of international
development. Themes of power and agency, history and scale
integrate the many stories of development covered in the book,
highlighting development as a complex process of change and
interaction between people as well as between people and
institutions, including governments and non-governmental
organizations. Interdisciplinary in character, the book
incorporates theories and tools from across the social sciences to
provide a more holistic understanding of the social, economic and
political transformations involved than most textbooks in the field
can offer. Chapters are designed to inform policy and practice,
moving from the theoretical to look closely, using a series of case
studies, at the deliberate actions of people to improve their
livelihoods, communities and societies. International Development
in a Changing World is the first of two books in The Open
University's International Development series. Whether used as a
stand-alone text, or alongside its companion text: New Perspectives
in International Development, this is an ideal introduction to the
field for students of International Development, International
Relations, Global Politics and Global Social Policy.
