Issues and Challenges of Development
About this book
This book presents a balanced and accessible introduction to the core issues and challenges of development. It covers the key aspects of development in contemporary times – its relationship with agriculture, industrialization and services, sustainable and inclusive development, issues of marginalization and women's empowerment.
This volume focuses on the uniquely multi-dimensional challenges faced by developing countries, which extend to the fields of economics, sociology, administration, politics and environment. The sectoral issues in development which comprise agriculture, industries and services sectors are useful subjects for enhancing economic growth and development of the nation-states.
Replete with case studies of different countries juxtaposed with the Indian scenario, this book caters to student needs across various disciplines. It will be useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers and teachers of development studies, economics, sociology, political science and public administration. It will be equally useful for administration officials of the central and state governments, policymakers, non-governmental organization (NGO) staff and corporate sector functionaries dealing with corporate social responsibilities.
