This book details the fundamentals of development studies by adopting a multi-disciplinary approach. It presents a balanced mix of economic, social, political, cultural and administrative premises of development and analyzes its theoretical and practical dimensions. It also provides insight into the role of the stakeholders of development in different sectors.

The volume provides a holistic understanding of development, effectively demonstrating how it differs from economic growth. Beginning with development theories, paradigms and actors involved in the development process, this book goes on to explain the concepts of development administration, development governance, development planning, development management and development communication. One of the fundamental components of the book is the elucidation of Development Theories – classical, neoclassical, developmental and heterodox theories essential to the discipline of “development”.

This book will be useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, teachers of development studies, economics, sociology, political science, and public administration. It will also be useful to administrators and development administration officials of state and central governments, planners, policymakers and people working in NGOs, in addition to corporate sector functionaries dealing with corporate social responsibilities and those handling developmental issues and challenges.
