Aims & Scope
The International Journal of Development Issues (IJDI) publishes scholarly research on important development issues, with a particular focus on development dynamism and a leaning towards inter-disciplinary research. IJDI welcomes papers that are empirically oriented but such work should have solid methodological foundations based on realism and pragmatism rather than on idealism. Critical analysis of development issues from both the heteredox viewpoint and the neo-liberalist viewpoint, in orthodox tradition, are equally encouraged. The journal publishes authoritative, intelligent articles and research of direct relevance to those investigating and/or working within areas closely associated with development processes. Special consideration is given to research papers that consider development issues from either a socio-economic, political, historical or sociological, anthropological, ecological and technological standpoint.
