KEY ISSUES IN DEVELOPMENT STUDIES: From the Local to the Global (Third Edition)

In recent times, the global development sector has encountered fresh obstacles in eradicating poverty and upholding human rights. Climate change, the persistent financial crisis, and ensuing political instability have significantly impacted both developed and developing nations. This thoroughly updated third edition of the classic textbook underscores the interconnectedness of local and global aspects in today's globalized economy and challenges the validity of the neoliberal development model. It serves as an essential introduction to pivotal issues such as aid, debt, trade, migration, security, gender in development, and climate change.
