The Palgrave Handbook of Development Economics

On 14 November 2019, the International Institute of Social Studies will host the launch of The Palgrave Handbook of Development Economics: Critical Reflections on Globalisation and Development

Applying a critical and pluralistic approach, the chapters in this Handbook examine economics of development paths under globalization, focusing on sustainable development in social, environmental, institutional and political economy dimensions.

It aims at advancing the frontier of development economics in these key aspects and generating more refined policy perspectives. It is critically reflective in examining effects of globalization on development paths to date, and in terms of methodological and analytical approaches, as well as forward-thinking in policy perspectives with a view to laying a foundation for sustainable development.
