Although global development and the alleviation of poverty are universal goals, experts frequently disagree heatedly about how to achieve them. The debates go on: Is liberalization the best way to stimulate economic growth, or should the state take a more active role? Is foreign aid effective in strengthening low-income countries? How should we deal with the challenges associated with poverty, such as climate change, civil war, hunger, and health crises? What entities are most capable of addressing these challenges effectively?
Debating Global Development introduces the theory and practice of development by examining fifteen such controversies in the field. Presenting strong, evidence-based arguments on all sides of each controversy, the book encourages readers to think critically and to construct their own well-grounded opinions.
