This book makes the case for a critical turn in development thinking around universities and their contributions in making a more equal post-2015 world. It puts forward a normative approach based on human development and the capability approach, one which can gain a hearing from policy, scholarship, and practitioners dealing with practical issues of understanding policy, democratising research and knowledge, and fostering student learning - all key university functions. The book argues that such an approach can elucidate development debates drawing on local, national and international issues and examples to show why higher education matters for sustainable development goals both in educational and social terms. It advocates a new arena of engagement with universities as key sites of development and freedoms beyond human capital and challenges development omissions and gaps around university education. The book explores how the human development approach addresses the following core ideas: the meaning of well-being, the idea of agency, participation and democratic citizenship, how to address inequalities, the relation between local and global, and the idea of equitable partnerships. This book is addressed to researchers and postgraduate students in development studies, university education, the capability approach and human development community.

AbstractThis article analyses the relationships between emigration and Official Development Aid (ODA) policies, taking the cases of Spain and Morocco as the backdrop to the study. It discusses the principal characteristics of both the Spanish state and non‐governmental cooperation in Morocco, the underlying motivations of the principal stakeholders, and the way international cooperation policies now encompass the phenomenon of emigration. The paper compares the field of co‐development, which encompasses a rather limited understanding of immigration, with ODA policies, in which immigration is an increasingly important agenda item for both the central government and the Spanish autonomous communities. The article then examines the relationship between migration and development, and considers necessary changes of perspective required to enhance the development and emigration policies in both Spain and Morocco. Lastly, we conclude with a series of recommendations, based on our analysis, aimed at Spanish and Moroccan stakeholders, both state institutions and non‐governmental organizations.

Con la crisis en España, la juventud se enfrenta a una situaciónmultidimensional de desventaja. En el artículo analizamos los puntos de vista de distintos actores sobre dicha situación, y cómo estas perspectivas se reflejan en el diseño e implementación de las políticas públicas. Realizamos un estudio cualitativo mediante una aproximación innovadora, el enfoque de capacidades, utilizando tanto revisión defuentes secundarias como entrevistas en profundidad a 21 actores clave. Las evidencias muestran que las actuales políticas tienen una perspectiva limitada, centrada en la creación de empleo y que no considera las múltiples desventajas a las que se enfrentan los jóvenes hoy en día. Esto se agrava con la falta de participación en la definición e implementación de políticas, y con intereses partidistas y estrategias cortoplacistas.
