  • The comprehensive development plan describes in these pages differs from others in that it goes beyond economic and business interests to integrate cultural factors, traditions, and environmental needs.

    George Washington University:     Refreshingly clear and direct and a great addition to the international development literature.
Description: Here is a comprehensive development plan written as if vital communities, indigenous peoples, women, and the environment really mattered. This alternative type of development planning goes beyond statistics to incorporate the interests of the people that live in the community. As an experiment in development education and planning, one of the authors led a group of the country's leading undergraduates into the field in Ecuador to complete an empirically based study and to prepare an alternative set of recommendations and models. This is a clearly written text that offers new insights for developmental specialists as well as educators and students in international development, anthropology, economics, public policy, planning, and Latin American studies at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
