Development policies: Sociological perspectives
Anthony Hall (ed.)
Development policies: Sociological perspectives - Manchester, Manchester University Press 1988 - 154p.
Unlike other social scientists, sociologists have not been closely involved in formulating development policies for the Third World nor in their implementation. This volume challenges such a disengaged stance and demonstrates ways in which a sociological perspective can strengthen policy-making. Apart from raising general issues of principle, the book examines sociological involvement in foreign aid, social research, community participation, women in development and models of agrarian policy-making. The book is intended for use at undergraduate and postgraduate level in the disciplines of sociology and development studies, and aims to create interest among economists, planners and public administrators.
