DEBATE

Joint the debate! In this space both GIC network partners and others can have an engaged discussion on current topics related to governance, conflict and development. We want to encourage a broad dialogue between academics, policy makers, civil society and activists. Readers are welcome to participate in the debate through comments or by sending their suggestions for blog posts on timely topics.

Thinking Post Development

Has development failed? Should it be dismissed altogether or radically rethought? With this series of blogs GIC wants to explore the sense and nonsense of “development” and shed a light on growing alternatives.
