Journal of Human Development
A Multi-Disciplinary Journal for People-Centered Development
Journal of Human Development: A Multi-Disciplinary Journal for People-Centered Development is a peer reviewed journal launched in January 2000 to provide new perspectives on challenges of human 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 will publish original work in economics, philosophy, social sciences and other disciplines that expands concepts, measurement tools and policy alternatives. It will provide a forum for an open exchange of ideas among a broad spectrum of policy makers, economists and academics. It will address issues at global, national, and local levels. Human development is becoming a 'school of thought' for alternative economic approaches, and the Journal will act as a conduit for members and critics of this school.
