In the past decade, the developed world has spent almost US$ 2 trillion on foreign aid for poorer countries. Yet 1. 2 billion people still live in extreme poverty and around 2. 9 billion cannot meet their basic human needs.

Traces the origins of the idea of Development Studies and introduces the main methodologies and theories of development. This text on development theory and practice takes as its starting point the challenge of overcoming development and global poverty and inequality. It, then, tackles the challenges of the twenty-first century.

This fully revised edition of the same authors' Governance, Administration and Development is the ideal introduction to public management and the policy process in developing countries. With a new chapter on issues of law and order, it also covers current debates on civil society, aid and intervention, and the relationship of states and markets.
