1: Introduction: international development in the 21st century
The introductory chapter sets out the key aspects of development, why the concept of ‘international development’ is particularly relevant, and some of the significant changes that have been seen in a number of ‘emerging’ countries of the Global South. The key issues facing developing countries are also outlined, and attention is given to some of the growing areas of concern in the 21st century. International development is shown to encompass an ever-changing world in which many different agendas, agencies and movements connected to development have emerged. The debates and dilemmas facing international development – to be discussed in more detail in the later chapters – are outlined, and the relevance and multi-faceted nature of contemporary development is emphasised. The chapter concludes with a brief overview of Parts I and II of the book.
