Description
World Development is a multi-disciplinary monthly journal of development studies. It seeks to explore
ways of improving standards of living, and the human condition generally, by examining potential solutions to problems such as: poverty,
unemployment, malnutrition, disease, lack of shelter, environmental degradation, inadequate scientific and technological resources, trade
and payments imbalances, international debt, gender and ethnic discrimination, militarism and civil conflict, and lack of popular participation
in economic and political life. Contributions offer constructive ideas and analysis, and highlight the lessons to be learned from the
experiences of different nations, societies, and economies. World Development recognizes 'development' as a process of change
involving nations, economies, political alliances, institutions, groups, and individuals. Development processes occur in different ways
and at all levels: inside the family, the firm and the farm; locally, provincially, nationally, and globally. Our goal is to learn from
one another, regardless of nation, culture, income, academic discipline, profession or ideology. We hope to set a modest example of enduring
global cooperation through maintaining an international dialogue and dismantling barriers to communication.
