Aims and scope of journal

Created in 1957, Development, the journal of the Society for International Development, aims to:

  • provide unique 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 the hard hitting issues of today, 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 and women's empowerment.
