This title was first published in 2003. Nurul Islam, currently head
of economic and social policy at the FAO/UN and a key advisor at
the International Food Policy Research Institute, has been a
renowned expert on economic development for the past thirty years.
Over that time he has researched and written about a wide range of
economic development issues, focussing mainly on policy. For the
first time ever, his most important writings have been brought
together in this volume, reflecting not only Professor Islam's own
views on particular issues, but also providing a unique overview of
the key debates and discussions taking place among academic
economist and policy analysts over the past three decades. The
collection is divided into three main sections: trade and aid,
development strategy, and food security, the section on food
security being the most recent. It discusses food security in a
broad sense, covering issues of availability and growth in food
production, access or entitlement of individuals or households to
basic food, and variability in food supplies and prices. In the
section on Development Strategy, Professor Islam highlights how
theoretical argument has veered away from organized 'development
planning' models which proved so important in the 1960s. He
questions the role of models and policies throughout the decades
and, following articles written in the 1970s or 80s, he includes
articles he has recently completed, assessing the previous ones
from his current perspective. In the final section, on Trade and
Aid, he follows the academic debate on trade and exchange rate
policies in developing countries from the 1960s to the progress of
the WTO forums of today. This is a wide-ranging and
thought-provoking volume. No matter whether the subject in question
was examined in the 1960s or currently, Professor Islam provides a
challenging and insightful analysis, and even the earliest articles
retain relevance and will be of continuing interest.
