{"product_id":"international-development-ideas-experience-and-prospects-9780199671663","title":"International Development: Ideas  Experience  and Prospects","description":"\u003cp\u003eThinking on development informs and inspires the actions of people  organizations  and states in their continuous effort to invent a better world. This volume examines the ideas behind development: their origins  how they have changed and spread over time  and how they may evolve over the coming decades. It also examines how the real-life experiences of different countries and organizations have been inspired by  and contributed to  thinking on development. The extent to which development works depends in part on particular local  historical  or institutional contexts. General policy prescriptions fail when the necessary conditions that make them work are either absent  ignored  or poorly understood. There is a need to grasp how people understand their own development experience. If the countries of the world are varied in every way  from their initial conditions to the degree of their openness to outside money and influence  and success is not centred in any one group  it stands to reason that there cannot be a single recipe for development.  Each chapter provides an analytical survey of thinking about development that highlights debates and takes into account critical perspectives. It includes contributions from scholars and practitioners from the global North and the global South  spanning at least two generations and multiple disciplines. It will be a key reference on the concepts and theories of development - their origins  evolution  and trajectories - and act as a resource for scholars  graduate students  and practitioners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789741744181,"sku":"ByrdShop_0199671664","price":73.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780199671663.jpg?v=1784695855","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/international-development-ideas-experience-and-prospects-9780199671663","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
