Progress in Development Studies
Progress in Development Studies is a double-anonymized journal about current debates in international development studies. The journal focuses on critical discussion of international development processes, policies and interventions in relation to poverty, inequality, and human wellbeing in a globalised world. We carry material that contributes to the cutting edge of development studies debates. We publish main papers, that may be theoretical, empirical or methodological in focus.
Progress in Development Studies takes the view that development should be defined as change, whether positive or negative, whether intentional or unintentional. Whilst most contributions focus on developing countries, we also welcome consideration of development issues from the so-called 'developed nations' in respect of the incidence of poverty, inequalities and processes of globalization.

Progress in Development Studies is a double-anonymized journal about current debates in international development studies. The journal focuses on critical discussion of international development processes, policies and interventions in relation to poverty, inequality, and human wellbeing in a globalised world. We carry material that contributes to the cutting edge of development studies debates.
We welcome innovative contributions of emerging importance to development, as well as contributions on more established areas of development debates. These include but are not restricted to debates around:
- Poverty alleviation and international aid
- Climate change, environmental degradation and sustainable development
- Risk, vulnerability, and human security
- Political governance and civil society
- Gender relations and inequality
- Human rights and development
- Migration, urbanisation and development
- Children, youth and development
- Livelihoods and food security
- Social protection and Social policy
- The international debt crisis
- Economic development, work and industrialization
Progress in Development Studies takes the view that development should be defined as change, whether positive or negative. Whilst most contributions focus on developing countries, this does not preclude the consideration of Eastern European, or indeed, so-called 'developed nations' in respect of the incidence of poverty, inequalities and processes of globalisation and related matters.
Progress in Development Studies is a double-blind peer reviewed journal.
We publish main papers, that may be theoretical, empirical or methodological in focus, as well as progress reports, commentaries and observations. We carry materials from both specific social science disciplines as well as interdisciplinary perspectives that engage with development studies. From time to time we publish special issues on themes of particular relevance.
