This book sheds light on the concepts, processes, strategies, and institutions of development in a rapidly changing world, incorporating ideas and interpretations that have previously been neglected or given inadequate attention in the discourse on developing countries. The authors examine how to manage development with a new perspective that links the phenomenon with changing demands and the interplay of internal/external actors and a host of stakeholders. They assess real-world situations and provide insight into the operational dynamics of development policies, programs, and institutions.
