Talk:International development

message: I propose that the SDGs or the transition from the MDG to the SDG agenda should be documented in this section, or in its own section underneath the MDGs. Considering the influence these goals have on international development policies and projects, it would be helpful to define this shift.Dhyeya.P (talk) 19:33, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Other Goals?

message: I propose removing or replacing the 3 paragraphs that start "International development has existed as long as nations have existed."  This redefines ID in a way that is too broad to be helpful, is not consistent with common usage, and is inconsistent with the rest of the article.  It is true that international relations and international trade have a longer history, but international development as a field of study and practice really started after WWII. I don't see any reason why the wikipedia article should take a different position than most text books. Unless there are any objections in the next couple of days, I will make the appropriate changes to the history section (and remove the link to Shah Waliullah for same reason), Cheers.

thread_title: History of Development

message: The following qoute should be tempered.  It is well known that if you take out China (which has not followed liberalism, but rather a state-guided capatalism- quite the opposite), poverty in the world has not decreased.  This is an entirly misleading statement.  someone please share their thoughts before I change anything.  This is the qoute:
"By the 1990s, development theory had reached an impasse [5] and some academics were imagining a postdevelopment era[6]. The Cold War had ended, capitalism had become the dominant mode of social organization, and UN statistics showed that living standards around the world had improved over the past 40 years[7]. Nevertheless, a large portion of the world's population were still living in poverty, their governments were crippled by debt and concerns about the environmental impact of globalization were rising." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.171.49.168 (talk) 16:03, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: china?

message: I gave it my best go, and I think what content is there reads pretty well. Still, someone who knows something about the topic should definitely go in and add some more information.  I was also somewhat concerned about the use of "some think that" in the last section, but I didn't know and the previous version didn't specify either. So that'd be something for someone who knows these things to add.
:Well...before I do anything, I want to run by some ideas to anyone who might be following this topic. The first is that "Development Theorists and Practioners" could be merged with "Development Studies" and "Development Economics" under those sections. Also, there should be a separate "Law and Development" article, detailing that area. Also, I included a section of Regional Development Agencies and the thing that immediately came to mind were the regional banks, but I wanted to leave it open for others. And maybe it is not even necessary, I am not sure how best this page would be organized yet. Working on some ideas.  Gibbsale 09:27, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Please add info

message: This article is list-heavy and text-light.  I'd like to see a lot of the terms, theories, etc incorporated into a textual discussion of their relevance to international development rather than simply sit, unexplained, in list form.  I don't really have the time to do this at the moment, however...  --The Way 05:09, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You caught me in the middle of making some revisions! I added the lists first, but have since added a big chunk of text (a section called 'the era of development'). I intend to add more text at a later date. I believe that both text and lists are needed if this is to become the definitive article on international development. Note: I have not touched the old section on 'Methods and concerns', which is now partially redundant. Does the original author want to make some edits, or shall I take a go at this?

thread_title:  Incorporate lists into text 

message: I've added a development in practice heading with "methods and concepts" as a sub-heading. I think this could include explanations of how development projects might actually work - what is taken into account (such as participation, women, children etc).  There could also be a section on development sectors (health and sanitation, education, shelter, human rights, governance etc) explaining what they are and what their effects are.Tkn20 04:36, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Development in Practice

message: Currently the article on 'Development theory' is virtually without content and this article has a big section on it--would it be appropriate to move the section into that article?

thread_title:  Economic development article 

message: I added some substance to the Livelihoods section. As the SLA is widely respected in policy circles and in use today by development agencies and organizations, there should really be a new article focusing simply on the approach's history, framework, connection to development theory, and how it is utilized in development practice. Perhaps someone could start this up.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bjjulian (talk • contribs) 02:11, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

message: My name is Aryn and I am apart of the Wikiproject Foreign Policy initiative. I am currently developing an article devoted to rights-based approach to development and I would like to add a subsection on this page or add some additional information either in the capacity building section or the human rights section. Please let me know what you think of this. Thanks.

thread_title: Rights-based approach

message: The rationale for expanding this article is that in it’s current iteration, it that it is too brief. Self-help groups (SHGs) are part of a large-scale anti-poverty intervention in India that reaches over 30 million people or households (Shyamsukha, 2011). The self-help group model is the largest part of the microfinance movement in India.  This model links small groups of mostly poor women to the national banking system through the National Bank and Rural Development or NABARD. According to Chakrabarti (n.d.) “Over the past decade, NABARD’s “SHG-Bank Linkage Program” aimed at connecting self-help groups of poor people with banks, has, in fact, created the largest microfinance network in the world.” The volume of loans, people impacted by the loans, government and NGO funding and public interest of this effort warrants greater knowledge on the topic.

Here is an outline of my proposed changes:
1 Structure expand section to define NABARD
	1.1 How SHGs differ & are similar to other MF groups
2 Goals 
			2.1 Theory behind MF expanded social capital, increased female participation in 
village level decision making, increased female participation in family level decision making, increased training for women
3 NABARD's 'SHG Bank Linkage' program provide more detailed information about the government agencies that work to promote SHG membership
4 Advantages of financing through SHGs
4.1 Empirical evidence 
Limitations of SHGs discussion of concerns regarding MF as a whole, and specific to India
5.1 Post-economic crisis concerns
5.2 Empirical evidence of limitations
5 References
NOTES: Addition of a notes 
		List of Acronyms used table
6 External links add links to NABARD
Feedback and comments greatly appreciated.

thread_title:  International-development.gif 

message: I have done a lit review and I can't find any scholarly work that differentiates between those terms; there are used as synonyms. The articles are effectively forks of the same concept. Note that Economic development only mentions the other article in 'see also', while International development clearly states in the lead "Historically, development has often been largely synonymous with economic development. More recently, writers and practitioners have begun to discuss development in the more holistic and multi-disciplinary sense of human development. Other related concepts are, for instance, competitiveness, quality of life or subjective well-being" (but this is sourced to a video). This mess needs a cleanup, and the first step is to combine those two articles to avoid pointless forking. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:05, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
