	ANU - STUDYAT - UNDERGRADUATE - AOI DEVELOPMENT STUDIES
		Development Studies refers to a broad range of programs that address the planning, implementation and consequences of social, political and economic change among peoples of the Third and Fourth Worlds.
		Development Studies examines the impact of globalisation on states and peoples of the South, and reviews notions of economic viability, democracy, governance, human rights or environmental sustainability as they apply to such culturally divergent entities.
		Government and International Development agencies, Development Banks, non-government organisations and community organisations require people with development expertise, and the skills and perspectives highlighted in Development Studies are readily transferable to other areas that focus on the planning and implementation of social, political and economic change.

	International development - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		International development is a multidisciplinary field that may impact poverty reduction, governance, healthcare, education, crisis prevention and recovery, and economic restructuring.
		International development is looked upon by some as an obligation of developed countries towards developing countries as a way to alleviate the economic inequalities.
		However, even the terms "developed" and "developing" (or "underdeveloped"), have proven problematic in forming policy as they ignore issues of wealth distribution and the lingering effects of colonialism.

	Development studies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Development studies is the multi-disciplinary branch of social science which addresses issues of concern to developing nations.
		The emergence of development studies as an academic discipline in the second half of the twentieth century is in large part due to increasing concern about economic prospects for the third world after decolonisation.
		Development studies is offered as a specialised Master's degree in a number of universities, and, less commonly, as an undergraduate degree.

	International and Area Studies (IAS) - UC Berkeley (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		DS students examine the problems, processes, and prospects for the development of human and material resources in what is generally thought to be the less developed areas of the world.
		Thus, studying development as a social transformation requires a blending of knowledge and perspectives from political science, economics, sociology, psychology, anthropology, geography, history, and resource and environmental science.
		Development Studies majors are required to take core courses in development theory and build upon this core with course work focusing on (1) a discipline, (2) a geographic concentration, and (3) methodological skills appropriate to the student's primary disciplinary interest.
