Development

Development, the quarterly journal of the Society for International Development, explores issues of human centred development, including alternative perspectives on civil society, development policy, and community-based strategies. The Society for International Development (SID) is an international non-governmental network of individuals and organisations founded in 1957 to promote social justice and foster democratic participation. The journal's contents focus on development policies, practices, and institutions working for economic and social justice, human progress, environmental rights, gender equity, equality and freedom.

In 2007 Development will celebrate 50 years of publishing with 5 issues for the year on the following topics: democracy, poverty, China, migration, and a special issue on 'The power of ideas: celebrating 50 years of development.'

The journal aims to:

• Provide a resource and point of reference for the dialogue between activists and intellectuals committed to the search for alternative paths of social transformation towards a more sustainable and just world.
• Tackle current issues, listening to the oppositional voices and bringing in local and innovative perspectives from the margins to the global development discourse.
• Explore collective initiatives at local, regional and international levels which promote sustainable livelihoods, gender equality and women's empowerment.

Development aims to connect mainstream development policy and research with activism and alternative thinking.

Full text and PDF versions of articles from the archived issues are available online through the Development website.
