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.
