Author Description

"What are the social dimensions of sustainable development? Why are they important? Can agreement be reached on what constitutes progress? How can progress most effectively be brought about?" "Neil Thin argues that if we are to invest in social development we must be clear about what we mean. We must systematically link social progress with other dimensions of development. If not, resources will continue to be wasted and understanding impaired.". "This book is for the specialist and non-specialist alike who seek a rounded appreciation of the social dimensions of development, a theoretical guide and a source of practical inspiration."--BOOK JACKET.
