UN Contributions to Development Thinking and Practice
UN Contributions to Development Thinking and Practice is at once a history of the ideas and realities of international development, from the classical economists to the recent emphasis on human rights, and a history of the UN's major role in shaping and implementing new development paradigms over the last sixty years. The authors show how the UN approach to development evolved since 1945 from establishing mainstream economic development approaches to later leading the charge against the orthodoxy by advocating for full employment, poverty reduction, fairer distribution of the benefits of growth, equality of men and women, child development, social justice, and environmental sustainability -- in short, for human development.
