Aimed at undergraduates and post-graduates in the social sciences,
as well as development practitioners, this textbook provides an
introduction to the human development and capability approach; it
also clarifies key concepts and fosters debate on a number of
critical issues. The book offers new perspectives on a wide range
of topics, which include the conceptualisation and measurement of
well-being and inequality; the role of markets and economic growth
in promoting development; the importance of democracy and public
debate; culture and religion; health; equality and justice; and the
connections between social and economic policy in addressing
poverty and inequality. Case studies from across the world are used
to illustrate concepts and highlight the relevance of the approach
in addressing contemporary development challenges. A set of
questions accompanies each chapter for seminar discussion to help
readers assimilate central points and apply the approach to diverse
realities. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the
human development and capability approach for students and
practitioners world-wide.
