Explores the politics and ideology behind a new form of philanthropy whereby wealthy capitalists and private corporations establish initiatives to reduce poverty, disease and food security. Is this new philanthropy just a sticking plaster without long-term results as it fails to tackle inequality?
Explores why articulating social justice in both development discourse and practice provides the potential for a fresh understanding of global poverty, and one that rises above the current 'impasse'. Suggests how principles of global social justice could be used to shift the development paradigm away from a consensus that hinges on Washington

AbstractA cursory attempt to measure the extent of displacement over the past two decades indicates significant increases in conflict‐induced displacement and displacement resulting from development projects. At the same time a growing opposition to the latter form of displacement has raised questions over its legitimacy through a variety of media, including public campaigns and protests. This article focuses on some of the challenges that this presents to the displacement and resettlement discourse. In particular it considers the influences of the rights to development agenda on the spatial context of displacement and its associated economic and political changes. There appears to be a disjuncture between the practices of mainstream development, which tend to interpret development policy as it is defined and applied by a nation state and to assess inequalities within clear geographical definitions, and the universality of a rights based approach to development. This article examines these tensions in the context of displacement and resettlement management, drawing on evidence from a case study of the Ilisu dam in South East Anatolia, Turkey.

AbstractThe effective incorporation of linkages between sanitation, environmental pollution and socioeconomic dimensions into routine programme and project decisions is necessary if projects are to be sustainable. The project cycle does not always reflect an interdisciplinary approach to development and often suffers from a technical bias. Where several sectors are included in project designs, they are often considered in isolation from each other in appraisal. Environmental problems are often the cumulative result of interacting factors and therefore the question of sustainability warrants a flexible approach in project design and implementation.

ABSTRACTThe state aided commercialization of the small farm is the focus of this paper. In theory, subsidies and price support policies are intended to give small farms access to capital inputs to encourage cash crop production. However, only larger holdings can afford to take advantage of state interventionist policies and profit thereby. State subsidies have now become an integral part of the production process. The unit of analysis is the household, viewed in the context of the village and the wider economy. The focus is on family labour relations and the process by which agricultural commercialization transforms the internal relations of the household. Commercialization accompanied by mechanization tends to intensify the work undertaken by women. Since the process of commoditization ties once subsistence farms to market forces, production relations cannot avoid being influenced by the wider economy. Only with a combination of macro and micro data, with focus on both internal and external household relations, can the position of women in rural areas realistically be conceptualized.
