At a time when the global development industry is under more
pressure than ever before, this book argues that an end to poverty
can only be achieved by prioritizing human dignity. Unable to
adequately account for the roles of culture, context, and local
institutions, today's outsider-led development interventions
continue to leave a trail of unintended consequences, ranging from
wasteful to even harmful. This book shows that increased prosperity
can only be achieved when people are valued as self-governing
agents. Social orders that recognize autonomy and human dignity
unleash enormous productive energy. This in turn leads to the
mobilization of knowledge-sharing that is critical to innovation
and localized problem-solving. Offering a wide range of
interdisciplinary perspectives and specific examples from the field
showing these ideas in action, this book provides NGOs,
multilateral institutions, and donor countries with practical
guidelines for implementing "dignity-first" development. Compelling
and engaging, with a wide range of recommendations for reforming
development practice and supporting liberal democracy, this book
will be an essential read for students and practitioners of
international development.
