International development : issues and challenges
book
posted on 2008-01-01, 00:00 authored by Mark McGillivray, Damien KingsburyDamien Kingsbury, J Hunt, John McKayJohn McKay, Matthew ClarkeMatthew ClarkeThis book introduces the key contemporary issues in the theory, practice and study of development, from economic growth, good governance and globalization to gender, security and the environment. It builds on the authors' extensive practical experience to offer a systematic assessment of the field and identify characteristics of successful development. Arguing that there can be no development without poverty reduction and the involvement of all key stakeholders, the authors show why it is important not only that the policies are right but that the right people are involved. Failure to do so leads on the one hand to aid fatigue, and on the other to distorted development, no development at all, or even negative development.
