Neil Thin sets out to clarify the meaning of the social dimensions
of development, with an emphasis on sustainability. He outlines a
conceptual framework to facilitate better communication and
understanding as a basis for improved policies, implementation
strategies and learning strategies. Thin reviews the concepts of
social development as currently used in policy documents,
operational work, theoretical texts, and monitoring and evaluation.
He relates the meaning of social development to core concepts of
sustainable development, and to other specific concepts such as the
economy and the environment as well as more closely related
categories such as social sectors, social welfare and social
security. His conclusion is that social development would be more
useful as a category of policy and practice if it were relinked
with the concept of society and with positive efforts to build or
facilitate social progress. Neil Thin draws on his recent research
and advisory work on social development policy, poverty reduction
strategies, human rights assessment, and evaluation and learning
strategies for the analysis and examples.
