Description
How can we lay the foundation for a more just and peaceful world? How can we prevent communications from fracturing and societies from tearing themselves apart? How should we prioritise economic, social and cultural demands for resources and opportunities?

The book:
* Covers a range of contemporary topics such as global security, new technologies, ethics and learning and participation
* Has chapters on Global Health and Development in Practice, Environmentally Sustainable Development in Practice and Corruption and Development
* Features learning objectives, summaries, reading lists and questions for discussion
* Works as a practice-driven text packed with case studies
Global in perspective and full of everything you need to know, this is your go-to book for your studies in International Development.
