	20th WCP: International Development Ethics
		Development ethicists agree that the moral dimension of development theory and practice is just as important as the scientific and policy components.
		Seventh, most development ethicists believe their enterprise should be international in the triple sense that the ethicists engaged in it come from many nations, including poor ones; that they are seeking to forge an international consensus; and that this consensus emphasizes a commitment to alleviating worldwide deprivation.
		On this view, development ethics should forge a cross-cultural consensus in which a society's own freedom to make development choices is one among a plurality of fundamental norms and in which these norms are of sufficient generality so as not only to permit but also to require sensitivity to societal differences.

	The U.S. Approach to International Development
		Developing countries that increase their international trade are most likely to achieve the kind of sustained and broadbased economic growth that will help their citizens climb out of poverty.
		Developing countries agreeing to lower their own barriers to trade with each other is a vital part of this process.
		Developing countries must adopt policies that encourage domestic savings to remain in their home countries to contribute to growth and development and that encourage foreign investment.

	International development - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		International development is distinct from, though conceptually related to, disaster relief and humanitarian aid.
		International development, on the other hand, seeks to implement long-term solutions to problems by helping developing countries create the necessary institutions needed to address and solve their problems on their own.
		International development is, in most cases, a process undertaken by developing countries with substantial assistance from developed nations and from major intergovernmental organizations, namely the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.

	Nanotechnology: The Need for International Development
		It seems likely that an early, closely guarded, international development program is probably the approach that retains the most control in the long run.
		They are too useful; they will keep getting easier to develop; and even their dangerous qualities may be attractive to several kinds of groups.
		But one thing that can probably reduce the dangers is international development of defensive technology, to be placed at the service of any nation that is threatened.

	Graduate School Information for IDS Majors, UCLA International Development Studies Program
		The International Development Studies major is designed to introduce students to the broad array of disciplines that study the developing world.

		For example, while UCLA does not offer a graduate program specifically in International Development Studies, you might want to inquire with related programs such as the UCLA School of Public Affairs, the UCLA Political Science Department, or the UCLA Geography Department to see what kind of research is being done on international development issues.

	International Development
		Largescale development programs, like bridge construction or dams, are typically financed by the taxpayers of the wealthier countries of the world, like the United States.
		In addition, if the government has trouble repaying the loan, the international bank may force it to institute "austerity measures", which include devaluation of the country's currency (causing higher prices) and a simultaneous freeze on wages.
		Since taxpayer dollars fund the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and other official development agencies like U.S. A.I.D., citizens of every contributing country can and should require bank officials to be held accountable for the human rights violations and plant closings which can result from their funding decisions.
