Issues in third world development

This book is a collection of 21 papers presented by eminent economists and development experts in an invited seminar series, "Issues in International Development," organized by the International School for Economic Development Studies at Colorado State University during the academic year 1982/1983. These essays focus on a number of leading issues and concerns that are currently the major preoccupation of development economists, policy makers and practitioners. Issues addressed in these essays are centered on methodology and strategies to eradicate poverty, to reduce income inequality and for dealing with problems of management and utilization of agricultural and water resources in the developing countries. These essays are presented in the context of the authors' past experience and selected development problems are analyzed in the light of the present international setting and future prospects for dealing with them.
