Profound change and systems innovation is needed to
combat poverty, enhance public health, secure safe food production,
and stimulate sustainable development worldwide. In taking initiatives
and implementing measures, people, profit and planet issues need
to be balanced. Communication and competence development are crucial
processes for bringing about innovation in domains related to agriculture,
food and natural resource use.
Development in Practice offers practice-based analysis
and research concerning the social dimensions of development and
humanitarianism, and provides a worldwide forum for debate and
the exchange of ideas among practitioners, academics and policy
shapers, including activists and NGOs. By challenging current
assumptions, the journal seeks to stimulate new thinking and ways
of working.
Since 1993, Gender & Development has aimed to promote, inspire,
and support development policy and practice, which furthers the
goal of equality between women and men. This journal has a readership
in over 90 countries and uses clear accessible language.
The European Journal of Development Research aims to achieve the
highest standards of debate and analysis on matters of policy, theory
and practice, in all aspects of development studies. It exists particularly
in order to publish research carried out in Europe or in co-operation
with European institutions. Most issues are special issues with
a common theme in addition to 'free-standing' articles.
International Journal of Water Resources Development covers all
aspects of water development and management in both industrialized
and Third World countries. Contents focus on the practical implementation
of policies for water resources development, monitoring and evaluation
of technical projects, and, to a lesser extent, water resources
research. Articles are rigorous and in-depth, and range in approach
from applied geographical analysis to the examination of strategic,
economic and social issues.

studies. Since its foundation in 1964, it has published many seminal
articles on development and opened up many new areas of debate.
Journal of Human Development: Alternative Economics in Action is
a peer reviewed journal launched in January 2000 to provide new
perspectives on challenges of development and poverty eradication
- human well being, markets, growth, social justice and human rights.
The Editors believe that development is more than about economic
growth. It is also about improving the well-being of people, and
expanding the choices and opportunities they have. Development policies
cut across economic, social and political issues.
The Journal of Peasant Studies is one of the most outstanding
journals in the field of the political economy of agrarian change.
With its focus on considering peasants within the broader systems
and historical situations in which they exist, it is essential reading
for all who want to achieve an understanding of the role of peasants
in political, economic and social transformation. It embraces both
the theoretical and the empirical, and encompasses a multi-disciplinary
area of study, rigorously pursued: catering for economists, historians
(including historians of art), anthropologists, political scientists,
geographers and sociologists, as well as literary scholars. It has
a comprehensive reviews section, and a meticulously compiled Index
of the first twenty volumes of the journal's contents was published
separately in 1994.

theories and policy issues in all aspects of development, and aims
to contribute to new approaches. It covers a number of disciplines
related to development, including economics, history, politics,
anthropology and sociology, and will publish quantitative papers

Development Southern Africa offers a platform for expressing views
and encouraging debate among development specialists, policy decision
makers, scholars and students in the wider professional fraternity
and especially in southern Africa. The journal publishes articles
that reflect innovative thinking on key development challenges and
policy issues facing South Africa and other countries in the southern
African region.
Appointed as editor in 2005, Caroline Kihato is committed to broadening
the voices in Development Southern Africa through providing opportunities
for unpublished scholars, publishing interviews with beneficiaries
of development, and new research.
Third World Quarterly (TWQ) is the leading journal of scholarship
and policy in the field of international studies. For two and a
half decades, it has set the agenda on development discourses of
the global debate. As the most influential academic journal covering
the emerging worlds, TWQ is at the forefront of analysis and commentary
on fundamental issues of global concern. TWQ examines all the issues
that affect the many Third Worlds and is not averse to publishing
provocative and exploratory articles, especially if they have the
merit of opening up emerging areas of research that have not been
given sufficient attention.
