Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Development Studies: A Comprehensive Guide for Students" by Dr Fabian G. Mahundu is an in-depth exploration of the field of development studies, providing an interdisciplinary framework for understanding the complex processes that drive economic, social, political, and environmental change in both developed and developing countries. This book is structured to offer a broad understanding of development from multiple perspectives and is an essential resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in the field. The book begins with an introduction to the fundamental concept of development studies. It defines development as economic growth and a multidimensional social, political, and cultural change process. The author highlights how development studies extend beyond traditional economic indicators like GDP, emphasising the importance of addressing social inequality, political stability, and environmental sustainability. Through a critical lens, the book examines the role of development in improving the quality of life for individuals and communities, particularly in the Global South.
