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 specialities such as medicine.
This Encyclopedia provides crucial information for universities,
students and professional organizations involved with international
development, and those interested in related topics such as
international studies or other studies of social and economic
change today.
