This updated new edition explores the techniques used to assess the
economic impact of projects in developing countries. Blending an
academic understanding of economics and development with an
accessible style and practical advice, the costs and benefits of
investment projects, an important mechanism for economic
development, are assessed to ensure that resource allocation is as
productive as possible. New material has been added,
particularly on the environmental impact of projects, the
role of the discount rate in decision-taking, the application of
techniques to estimate willingness to pay for benefit estimation
and the quantification of health impacts. Although the basic
techniques of project analysis were developed many decades ago,
they remain highly relevant to address current concerns, such as
population growth, urbanisation, pressure on physical
infrastructure, inequality, and the climate crisis. This book aims
to provide an accessible overview, drawn from extensive practical
experience, of project analysis in developing countries. It will be
relevant to students, researchers, and practitioners interested in
development economics.Â
Roland Allen (1868-1947) is remembered as one of the foremost
missionaries of the last century. Throughout his life, Allen
travelled the world, following his vocation and building his
missionary methods centred on a theology of indigenisation. From
his early days as a Chaplain in China (during which Allen was
forced to flee to the British Legation in Beijing), through to his
continued mission to India, Canada and South Africa, he developed
as man, missionary and theologian. The first of two volumes, Roland
Allen: A Missionary Life is an intellectual biography which
explores the people and ideas that influenced Allen while tracing
the ways in which his missionary ecclesiology evolved during his
life. Through extensive examination of unpublished archival papers,
including lesser known letters and sermons, Steven Richard Rutt has
uncovered the growth of a forthright, morally indefatigable
churchman, who was also a loving family man with close and
long-running friendships. Rutt unpacks Allen's Church-centred
missionary ecclesiology and 'missiology of indigenisation', which
were based on Allen's knowledge, gained from experience. Roland
Allen: A Missionary Life and Roland Allen: A Theology of Mission
explore the thought of a Christian whose writings provided
farsighted clarity on global Christian missionary work that is
still relevant today.
In Roland Allen: A Theology of Mission, a companion work with
Roland Allen: A Missionary Life, Steven Richard Rutt completes a
portrait of Roland Allen (1868-1947) in this intellectual
biography. Extensive archival evidence discloses how apostolic
principles formed the basis for Allen's missionary theology.
Although it is well-known that Allen's hermeneutical ideas were
born of Pauline principles, Steven Richard Rutt expounds the ways
in which Allen's missionary experiences had profoundly impacted
Allen's theological beliefs. Allen wrote about his findings in
letters, sermons, articles and books, some of which were never
published. Allen's writings tenaciously challenged the methodology
of colonial missionary societies and exposed the causes hindering
Church expansion: failures occurred in missions due to the
imposition of Western missionary paternalism and institutional
devolution. Allen advocated the empowerment of indigenous churches
to apply the principles of self-government and self-support. He
asserted the importance of the Pauline concept of 'Spirit and
order', which encompasses both the doctrine of the Holy Spirit as
well as that of the Church. Allen's diagnosis of the missionary
situation and the proposed ways to restore apostolic order
presented contemporary controversy but since his death, we have
seen the importance of Allen's ideas in Mission studies grow
steadily. With an expert evaluation of Allen's theological insight,
Roland Allen: A Theology of Mission also offers a superb
contribution to the discipline of historical theology and
historical missiology as Rutt delves into a contextual assay into
the missionary landscape of the nineteenth and the twentieth
centuries.
