Description:
Throughout the 1980s there have been calls, often from development organizations of global repute, for the incorporation of social science perspectives into the design and management of sustainable development programmes. Practising Development is the first collection to offer first-hand critical assessments of the success and failures found within actual responses to these calls.
Review Quotes:
` ... it will be a particularly useful resource to students who want a clearer sense of exactly what it is they might expect to do as social scientists in development ... the book merits a place on a range of teaching courses in anthropology, development studies and research methods.' - Development Policy Review
