Progress in Development Studies is a double-anonymized journal about current debates in international development studies. The journal focuses on critical discussion of international development processes, policies and interventions in relation to poverty, inequality, and human wellbeing in a globalised world. We carry material that contributes to the cutting edge of development studies debates. We publish main papers, that may be theoretical, empirical or methodological in focus. Progress in Development Studies takes the view that development should be defined as change, whether positive or negative, whether intentional or unintentional. Whilst most contributions focus on developing countries, we also welcome consideration of development issues from the so-called ‘developed nations’ in respect of the incidence of poverty, inequalities and processes of globalization.
