About this Item

Sprache: Deutsch Broschur 4;; 238 Seiten; Bibliotheksstempel auf Rückseite Haupttitel, etikettiert; - The purposes of the Conference on Social Science Research on Development were to promote an informal exchange of views about priorities in social science research, to develop a better understanding of the financial support presently available for such research, to review the policies governing such financing and to explore the relationships between researchers and policy makers and between researchers in various countries. The Conference was sponsored by the Ford Foundation, the International Development Research Centre, the Rockefeller Foundation, the U.S. Agency for International Development and the World Bank. The papers in this volume were prepared as background material for the participants in the Conference. Because the papers were an mportant stimulus to the discussion and because the subjects reated are of broad interest to many people, it was decided to publish them. In addition, a summary of the discussions is included. The problems treated at the Conference are neither simple nor new, and the objective of the Conference was not to come to any definitive judgements or to reach any operational conclusions but to contribute to a better understanding of the problems in doing research and in disseminating the results of research to decision makers. The distribution of the Conference proceedings should be of service to others engaged in research, research administration or the planning and implementation of development programs. - - -.
