International Development is now a major global activity and the
focus of the rapidly growing academic discipline of development
studies. The "Encyclopedia of International Development "provides
definitions and discussions of the key concepts, controversies and
actors associated with international development for a readership
of development workers, teachers and students.
With 600 entries, ranging in length from shorter factual studies to
more in-depth essays, a comprehensive system of cross references
and a full index, it is the most definitive guide to international
development yet published.
Development is more than a simple increase in a country's wealth
and living conditions. It also implies increasing people's choices
and freedoms; it is change that is inclusive and empowering.
Development theory and practice has important applications to
questions of economic growth, trade, governance, education,
healthcare, gender rights and environmental protection, and it
involves issues such as international aid, peacekeeping, famine
relief, and strategies against HIV/AIDS. The "Encyclopedia"
""treats these topics and many more, and provides critical analyses
of important actors within development such as the United Nations
and World Bank, non-governmental organizations and corporations.
Contributors to this volume reflect the multidisciplinary and
international nature of the subject. They come from social science
disciplines such as economics, international studies, political
science and anthropology, and from specialties such as medicine.
This "Encyclopedia "provides crucial information for universities,
students and professional organizations involved with
internationaldevelopment, and those interested in related topics
such as international studies or other studies of social and
economic change today.
