Publications

Asian Drivers: Opportunities and Threats

IDS Bulletin Issue: 1 Volume: 37

Not for the first time, real events have caught the research community by surprise. From the late twentieth century Asian economies began to play an increasingly important role as global producers, beginning in Japan after the 1960s, and spreading to some other East Asian economies during the last quarter of the century. At the dawn of the new millennium, the momentum of Asia has been significantly strengthened by the very rapid growth of two very large economies: China and India.




Achieving Turnaround in Fragile States

IDS Bulletin Issue: 2 Volume: 37

Over the past few years, the development challenges faced by fragile states have moved to the top of the international development agenda. This has reflected an apparent increase in the number of fragile states in the world over the past two decades.




Asia 2015: Sustaining Growth and Ending Poverty

IDS Bulletin Issue: 3 Volume: 37

This IDS Bulletin brings together ten articles that examine threats to sustained growth and suggest ways in which potential challenges might best be mitigated through conscious policy choice and public action under the leadership of Asian governments.




Challenging Orthodoxies, Influencing Debates

IDS Bulletin Issue: 4 Volume: 37

What makes a classic IDS Bulletin article? Wandering through almost 40 years and 140 issues of the IDS Bulletin, some common features can be discerned. The most memorable IDS Bulletin articles challenge orthodoxy and present alternative perspectives on development issues.




Sexuality Matters

IDS Bulletin Issue: 5 Volume: 37

This IDS Bulletin addresses a theme that mainstream development has persistently neglected: sexuality. Over the last decade, development policymakers and practitioners have come to endorse a multi-dimensional approach to poverty, and growing attention has been placed on achieving greater freedom, wellbeing and human rights for all.




Exploring Power for Change

IDS Bulletin Issue: 6 Volume: 37

Concepts and methods of participation' are used increasingly to shape policy and deliver services. Such approaches throw new light on complex interactions within and between society and state institutions at all levels.
