商品簡介
Sumner (development studies, Institute of Development Studies, Sussex, UK) and Tribe (international development, U. of Bradford, UK and economics, U. of Strathclyde, Glasgow) have written this textbook on development studies (DS) and international development to describe the focus, aim and approaches of this emerging field and to set standards for rigorous research. Designed for courses in DS that have appeared over the last 10 to 15 years, this volume analyzes the research tools that evaluate development in both the poorer countries in the world and those nations with economies that are poised to expand as a result of globalization. The authors also explain how practice and research is linked in DS, and make suggestions for a more unified approach to this study in the future.
